Why We Dream - Science Documentary

Kudos for no AI. These AI slop channels are the bane of YT.

The fact that this video was made without AI makes me like it off the bat.

Thank you for making this without AI

Just repeating what others have said. No AI videos are the best. Thank you!

Dude I think you started a thing. Proclaiming the video was created without AI, and being proud of that. I think AI has its place, but we don't want to lose good old fashioned elbow grease 😁

I can recall with clarity dreams I had when I was 5 years old. I'm 75 .

Imagine explaining dreaming to an alien who doesn't dream. Like yeah every time we go dormant we hallucinate random scenarios, for some reason

I can’t stand AI images anymore. They all look so alike and unoriginal. Meanwhile we have thousands of years of paintings that are much better and are being ignored

The classic art is lovely❤

Who else listening to this before sleeping?

A few years ago I had the most vivid dream of my life. I dreamt I had terminal lung cancer and was facing my impending death. I had regrets for not accomplishing goals, I cried and begged for my life to be spared. I had talks with counselors and drs. I had begun accepting my death and right then I woke up and immediately began bawling when I realized it was all a dream and I was still healthy. It honestly changed my life and pushed me to get my masters degree. I graduate this spring

Me watching a video about dreams at 3am as I refuse to sleep: fascinating

I went through a long period of psychiatric intakes due to psychotic episodes. I lived with a lot of fear and anxiety, which showed in my dreams. Often I would dream of running away from people chasing me in the dark, of the world ending, of being lost/stuck in buildings. This went on for years until one day i dreamt that i stood up for myself against those chasing me. This was also during a period where i was getting better after a very very long path of healing. Life has improved a lot, and i don't have those dreams anymore.

I can remember my childhood dog Taffy dreaming. Her legs would move like she was running, and sometimes she would even bark in her sleep. I always wondered what she dreamed about.

Appriciate the no AI thing. You wouldn't even think about that years ago but I bet whole scripts are just generated with AI. Great video anyway. Love this topic. Makes me sleepy.

I very very rarely remember my dreams except for 1 dream I had about 25 years ago. I found myself surrounded by people that I have never met but felt the same unconditional love for them as my immediate family. We were at a location I have never been at but felt the same as the family home I grew up at. Everything was as familiar as my waking life and as memorable as the most impactful parts of my life. I still don’t know what to make of it but it still sticks with me to this very day. There must be something more than our conscious life. I hope to find out some day.

I'm going to have to listen again. I fell asleep and missed some of it. Great work 👏

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of a nice vivid dream and I think how good it felt and I decide to go back to sleep to experience more of it. And it does work, I do go back to experiencing a similar scenario until I wake up. This is not common though.

Love that my algorithm still shows me this guy

52:12 I have lucid dreams regularly and experience sleep paralysis with it. But for me it happens so often that I'm consciously aware of and I just enjoy my weird conscious unconsciousness and weave myself through my dream.
