Robert: When you say that the brain did not understand the ultimate significance of Stuarts death (5:16). Do you me that Barbara or her brain did not understand? Are you saying they are different? This is a very profound lecture and gives us much more in road into dreams than 99% of the other neuroscientists provide - well done.
I have come to disbelieve the science of dreams..I don't dream with events that has happened....a gruesome accident, a bloody incidents, a happy moment etc....my dreams are often ahead of time...things to happen or things happening...the same character is present in my son,he is just five, he dream in occuring events or something that is going to happen..when he retell his dream, that is the exactly thing going to happen... sometimes I am confused whether they are dreams or visions.I stop sharing my dreams because people started acting weard when my dream come true
Sorry but I have had countless premonition dreams since a child. Dreams that cannot possibly just be coincidence by the amount that I have had. 1 particular one I remember from about 20 years ago is having a dream that one of my previous ex boyfriends was standing at my gate crying, I had not seen or thought of him in YEARS. The very next day out of the blue he called me. I also remember a very recent one where I had a dream my son fell into a swimming pool and was drowning. That very next day we went to my husbands family reunion where there was a swimming pool (I had never been to this house before and did not even know there was a pool) I was very cautious of my son playing around a pool, but the next thing, while all of us were chatting and not paying attention, my nephew fell into the pool and started sinking (the kids were still very young, luckily someone had spotted him and we managed to get him out before he drowned) When I say I had had countless dreams like this I mean there have been A LOT. And its always a day or 2 later that my dream comes to fruition. Please explain that. This is where science has its limitations. its not all about science. There is far more to everything than meets the eye.
Several times in the video, Dr. Stickgold mentions and gives examples of both personal meaning, and purpose to be found in dreams. I believe most of us would quickly agree, and could even give their own examples to support the notion. So if the frontal lobe/cortex is shut down during REM sleep (as I also believe it must be) then exactly WHO or WHAT is then *directing* the process during the dream, so that our waking minds can then later realize the meaningful connection? Also, I had a startling premonition in a dream one night in 1975. How do we explain precognitive dreams then? Or premonitions like mine that simply can't be explained away as "mere coincidence" ?
@@youngmiljr919 I'm mainly looking at effects of physical and psychological problems on dreams. That's awesome that you have made progress to investigations of the purpose of dreams, let me know your thoughts.
Your dream was telling you of the karma created about hurting the animals that manifest to your son and luckily played out into a healing experience...
I think it is rather that researching why and how we dream is a very complex and mysterious field. This man studies sleep, not just dreams. He had the knowledge to state only the facts we do know currently instead of just entirely speculating.

You have helped to clarify the meaning of recurrent dreams........I wondered what they meant. Thank you.

Very useful and understandble explanation.thank you so much
I am researching dreams for my EPQ, and I find Robert Stickgolds videos very helpful. thank you
Hey am doing the same thing, i hope we can do something together, i already have a hypothesis on what dreams are and why do we have them!

Hello, i'm only a interested and curious person and i am interested in philosophy and this subject is helpful for my reflections
@@valdirsilva5095 i will share with you my thoughts on the subject once my book is ready
thank you very much for the video, great video!

at 70 old man thinking about labour pain & he told it to beautiful woman...😂😂😂
Well in those 25 years this old man didn't learn or discover anything about dreaming or memory
I'm curious, what part of his talk did you not agree with?

He hasn't got a clue.
