Rahul Jandial: 我认为梦境是对创造力、想象力和情感的高强度训练。基于神经科学的研究,睡眠时大脑并非休息,而是处于高代谢活动状态,执行网络受到抑制,而想象网络和边缘系统则被解放。噩梦可能是心理健康问题的警告信号,与抑郁症和自杀有关,但儿童时期的噩梦可能与心智理论的培养有关。我们正在继承我们祖先的思维和梦想过程,这可以解释为什么孩子们梦到野兽而不是小狗。总的来说,梦境来自大脑,并且在清醒脑外科手术中,通过刺激大脑可以激活患者的噩梦。 Mayim Bialik: 我认为梦的科学非常有趣,我们讨论了梦的科学,噩梦的功能,性梦以及如何利用梦的力量。我们还将讨论清醒梦以及它如何影响我们的清醒生活。

Shownotes Transcript

What if your dreams could predict disease, unlock creativity, reveal hidden trauma—and even be controlled?

 

Dr. Rahul Jandial, MD, PhD (dual-trained neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, founder of the Jandial Lab at City of Hope Cancer Center in Los Angeles, and bestselling author of This is Why You Dream) takes you inside the wild, cutting-edge world of dream neuroscience and the sleeping brain.

 

Discover how this top brain surgeon can create a memory of a nightmare during awake brain surgery, what the brain does just before death, and how dream patterns may predict neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Learn why erotic dreams occur, how lucid dreaming can enhance your waking life, what happens during sleep paralysis, and why some people don’t remember their dreams—plus expert sleep tips to improve dream recall.

 

Dr. Jandial also explores the deep links between trauma and nightmares, depression, and the eerie science of precognitive dreams and near-death experiences (NDEs). From the universal themes of falling and flying dreams to the latest on how AI might already be hacking your dreams, this is everything your brain’s doing while you sleep—and why it matters more than ever.
