Korva rescues the ideas worth keeping from podcasts. Each one becomes a Card.
Recurring nightmares are common in veterans and people with PTSD, and they are one diagnostic criterion for PTSD.
Lucid dreamers traced imagined circles with stuttered eye movements, then tracked a dream thumb with smooth waking-like movements.
Mice may have betrayed their dreams: synchronized eye-direction cells tracked where their eyes appeared to look during REM.
Dreams vanish astonishingly fast: roughly half is forgotten within five minutes, and 90% may disappear within ten.
People who claim never to dream often recall one when awakened during REM sleep. Try waking mid-dream.
Recurring dreams do not have to be unpleasant, but pleasant recurring dreams are essentially nonexistent.
Between 17% and 38% of people report having at least one precognitive dream.
Dream-symbol dictionaries sell books and clicks, yet symbols have no reliable universal meaning and can contradict across cultures.
To remember dreams, wake during REM sleep and immediately write the dream in a journal or on paper.
Your dreams may assemble neural connections formed over the previous day or two into people and images you barely noticed.
The activation synthesis hypothesis says REM brain noise gets turned into a story by the forebrain searching for meaning.
Dreams happen in NREM too, but REM produces the most intense dreams and the ones people remember best.
