I Think, Therefore I Google

13. Dreams

June 15, 2022 • Thomas

We dream big with this episode, looking to understand why it is that when we fall asleep our minds can take us on the strangest adventures. What is the science of dreams? Why do we have them? We look at REM sleep, lucid dreaming, communication with dreamers, Dzido's thoughts on bears flying airplanes and more!
