Dr. Matt Walker: The Science of Dreams, Nightmares & Lucid Dreaming | Huberman Lab Guest Series
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2024
- This is episode 6 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and a leading public educator on sleep for mental and physical health, learning and human performance. In this episode, we discuss dreaming, including the biological mechanism of dreams, what dreams mean and their role in daytime life.
We explore how dreams can enhance our creativity and emotional well-being and help us resolve various challenges and dilemmas. We discuss how to remember and interpret your dreams and the abstractions/symbols frequently present in dreams.
We also discuss nightmares and therapies to treat reoccurring nightmares. We explain what lucid dreaming is and if there are benefits or drawbacks to this type of dreaming.
Dr. Walker also answers frequently asked audience questions and discusses snoring, body position, sleep supplements, sleep challenges due to aging, menopause, stopping racing thoughts, and how to fall back asleep if you wake in the middle of the night.

So sad this series is over 😢 we love you Dr Walker! You two together is truly the perfect gift
This has to be one of the best guest series so far. Dr. Matt Walker is a legend 👏🏼
You two are the dream team of neuroscience. Thank you both for your unending effort, time, and dedication to providing public education!!!

Lucid dreaming is the most useful yet underrated skill you can learn.
Why do I say this?
Benefits include solving problems, getting rid of fears and anxieties, more creativity, euphoria and even building other skills.
Plus it's the most fun you'll ever have. It often feels just like real life as well, you can even live out some of your craziest fantasies like being in your favorite movies or shows.
Though it can take a while to practice and there is a LOT of misinformation about it literally everywhere.
A good channel here on TH-cam dedicated to lucid dreaming is lucid dream portal, accurate concise information and even debunking of common myths.
Another good channel that doesn't really upload anymore is giz edwards.
I truly think everyone should learn how to lucid dream
How do you do it??
@MrFrak0207 It's a bit complicated to fully explain in detail but basically you just neer rwo things, reality tests and a dream journal.
I recommend checking out tutorials from lucid dream portal and giz edwards for more in depth information. You could also try reading some scientific articles about it
My Lucid dreaming feels very much like I’m directing a movie, I’ll do retakes if I didn’t like an outcome and change things etc. sometimes I’m not even in the dream, it’s more like behind a camera.
I just had a really vivid dream, very connected to my real life. And it made me extremely curious about dreams. I go on TH-cam and I see this. .Amazing.
It's way more interesting than people give it credit for

Synchronicity.. the universe is guiding you in a certain direction.. enjoy the ride!
I'm on my way to a PhD about lucid dreaming in medicine faculty and I've dreamt about this episode for so long ! Thanks a lot for all your podcasts.
That's pretty amazing! Do you have linkedIn I can follow you on ?
Send your ig @ so we can follow your work
Can I ask I am a lucid dreamer who is undergrad hoepful for med can you tell me more about this stephane and how you were able to do this?
Amazing work! Will follow your work!
how can we follow your work
Thanks Dr. Huberman and Dr. Walker for this amazing 6-part series on sleep! 👍
My quick summary: Good sleep is essential for optimal health and performance 😴💪
To achieve good sleep, strive for QQRT: Quantity + Quality + Regularity + Timing. ⏰
How to get QQRT? 🤔
1. Determine your chronotype (morning, evening, intermediate) 🌞🌙
2. Schedule a 7-9 hour time window for sleep that matches your chronotype ⏲
3. Keep the start of that window (your bedtime) the same every day, including weekends 📆
4. Set an alarm 30-60 minutes before your bedtime. Turn down the lights, stop engaging in activities that elevate alertness or stress. Instead, do things that relax you. Such as reading, meditating, yoga, journaling, physiological sighs, etc. Whatever works for you 💡🛌
5. Take a hot shower or bath 🚿
6. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet ❄🌑🤫
7. Once in bed, don’t try to force sleep. Let it come to you 😴
8. If you can’t sleep after 20-25 minutes and feel anxious, or if you awaken at night and can't get back to sleep, get up and repeat step 4 until you feel relaxed and sleepy again. Then repeat step 7 🔄
9. If possible with your daily obligations, awaken naturally, without an alarm 🌅
10. Get outside as soon as possible and get natural sunlight in your eyes ☀
11. Exercise 🏃♂
12. Drink coffee, but stop ingesting caffeine around noon ☕
13. When really needed, take a nap of max 20 minutes. The earlier in the day the better, to avoid disrupting your sleep pressure at night 💤
14. Ideally, in the evening, get outside again, for the sunset 🌇
15. Repeat 😊🔄

Also don't have caffeine for 90-120min After waking to allow your body to wake up naturally. (If possibile)
Fantastic. Thank you very much !
This is brilliant, thank you. And yes pls
Yes pls give a summary of all six episodes
Excellent.
I have been lucid dreaming for almost 30 Years now and let me tell you after doing it many many times I have come to the conclusion that I have conditioned my brain that I cannot stop them now. And now I have been having out of body experience that are pretty amazing. Also my dreams feel more real then some of my waking moments as far of touch,taste and smells. I can go back into the same dream even after waking up. What a great podcast
Heyoo. Can you travel to me and tell me I’m dreaming in a dream? Would appreciate it
Can you tell us more about your experience.. thanks.
would love to hear more of your experiences
me too❤

For me I actually feel 10x more refreshed when I have amazing lucid dreams, I'm always so amazed by the places I go and the things I see that it just fuels me for the next day
I'm addicted to this combination, please bring him back
No matter how much positive is put out into this video, people will always find something negative to say. It's so sad! This video is very impactful. Thank you @Huberman
The bromance is moving! May this type of male relationship/respect/curiosity/generosity/outcomes influence males in our world...thank you!!!

It’s more than a bromance, my brother. These dudes are wrestling in mud and oil nude together
The last few nights, I’ve ruminated about lucid sleep. I’ve been interested in lucid dreaming for years but for some reason, this old fire has been reignited.
Unable to find entertainment with particulars that hit the spot, I’m super stoked to notice this video before bedtime.
I just want to think, listen and feel everything to do with lucid dreaming.. without having to divide or distract my attention .
SO STOKED to lay upon my fortress of pillows and sink deep into thought 😴 🧠
Great series! Thank you for honoring menopause as not being synonymous with aging. For one thing women's bodies are different! And peri-menopause starts much earlier than many people realize. It's not necessarily happening in old people, it can start at least in the 30s in some cases. Women's health needs so much more attention. We're different from men, but that doesn't make us abnormal - it's normal for us to have bodies that change constantly, and that give us really important information about our minds and emotions because of our need to be aware of our physical nature - if we pay attention and take care of ourselves.
Matt Walker and Andrew Huberman! Absolute dream team not only as literally the content is about dreams but also in the poetic and passionate articulation of such interesting and critically important science. I really appreciated this series.
Thank you both. 😴🌞🌿🌱

What a wonderful human Matt Walker is, can't be grateful enough to him for popularizing sleep science!
I keep a dream journal and the connection I made to my life and dreams is that they will carry the same theme. So if in my life I’m feeling shame, sadness, stress…my dream will tell a story carrying that theme. Thank you for this series! Fascinating material and lots of personal questions answered. 🙏🏽
What an entirely lovely guy Dr Matt is! Few YT series have I enjoyed more, or learnt as much about my health, as these sleep videos. Not the least also, because of the proper chuckles I've had at seeing just how much you smile and laugh in this video series 🙃
Been waiting for this. The way Matt talks is as fascinating as his insights. Kudos to both of you. Love this series
Bro don't be posting a pic of your kid as a TH-cam profile pic, that is insane
I know right? It's almost as if he was painting with his words. As a very visual person, it is very refreshing.

As always thank you Dr Huberman! Your knowledge science and wisdom are a gift to so many. What a great series and guest! After taking the “dream herb” trying to dream more and especially remember them and keeping a dream journal as well as grief journal after my husband’s horrible death thinking it might help or give me answers. But i decided there were few dreams that were ever helpful at all. Most left me at least analyzing and thinking more which i overdo anyway and most were simply very unsettling or disturbing. I decided my life is unsettling enough while awake and believe if there’s something to be worked out in my dreams it will be accomplished whether i remember them or not. So i take effort NOT to remember them after awaking. I hope stuff is getting worked out.
Watched all 6 episodes. Substantial amount of knowledge absorbed. Both are striving intellectuals in thier respective fields, credit to both Doctors.
Thank you Drs, for this series. I listened with attention to every single one and recommended them to all my friends. It has genuinely been one of the best 12+ hours I have spent this year. 💜
I can't find words to thank God for you two guys ,thank you ,God bless you ❤
Dr. Huberman and Dr. Walker have a longing bromance going on with each other. So sweet. ❤❤ Thank you both!!
¡Hola Profe!Just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to You and Dr. Walker for a brilliant series on sleep. So much knowledge, helpful advice and wisdom all in one series. Thank You for Your hard work and care for all of us.
I'm so excited to see this have it's own segment. Lucid dreaming is one of the most fascinating things about life and it gets such little spotlight. There is so much potential within Lucid dreaming when approached intentionally and consistently
If I don’t sleep better after these six episodes it’s totally my fault. I’ve learned so much. Thank you both.
Always thanks to you Dr huberman and Dr Walker
So much information in these 6 episodes and utilizing the suggestions throughout have brought about incremental improvements for which I’m so grateful. Of all of these I have found that 2 have made the most difference for me - understanding my chronotype (morning person and getting to sleep ½ hour earlier) and light - increasing in the morning, decreasing at night but most importantly for me was making the bedroom darker - I really thought the minimal light coming through the curtains from street lights wasn’t a big deal but lining the curtains was a game changer. My sleep is so much better with these two changes. So grateful for these podcasts.
I have severe left hemisphere brain damage. There surely is a lot that you guys know that I’ll never experience but there is something I can tell you about dreams…. You are dreaming all the time but are only aware of them when your mind quiets at night. But you are dreaming right now and although you are not conscious of them they are effecting your behaviour.
I see my dreams and when I run through distant memories of the past each memory episode is paired with the daytime dream that goes with it and decisions I have on the fly pair with the dream.
Some of us are dreaming multiple dreams at the same time.
@@FoursWithin That’s true as well but I only experience the one.
They say there is at least four.
This is true, Carl Jung said the same thing.
I have 8 years worth of Vivid dream journaling. I have a notebook & pen by the head of my bed so that when I wake up I could immediately write down everything I remember from my dream before it all slowly dissipates away. Some of the dreams I have today are replays of the dreams I've dreamt 5-6 years ago in the same exact way. While others are a continuation of dreams from where I left off. I try to paint an understanding of what these dreams are about but in the end it's just all randomness.
Thanks for bringing us this wonderful series Dr Huberman. What a great guest you’ve had in Dr Walker. ❤
Thank you for this incredible episode! I've filled two notebooks with notes from Dr. Huberman and his guests. I never realized how much I could enjoy science!
The dream team!!! Thank you so much for shedding so much light to a dispair sleepless soul.. love the chemistry between you, will miss seeing you everyday on my way to work.. thank you for this valuable information
Watched the whole series, massive thank you to Matt & Andrew. Invaluable.
thats so awesome, looking forward to doing the same
I actually did not think I would enjoy a series better than Dr Conti. Last night I got a 90 sleep score, the night before I got a 94. I LOVE 'insomnia is unresolved emotions from the day' that makes so much sense. Thank you for educating us and improving my life
Andrew, Matt, thank you so so much for this wonderful series on sleep. It has been incredibly interesting and informative and I cannot wait to hear more on your collaborative study regarding NSDR. Sleep well!
Thank you Dr. Matt and Dr. Huberman for such a wonderful and remarkable series on Sleep.
Thank you for your amazing content I havent felt this healthy or informed in years.
huberman is the goat!
This series was Fantastic! Thank you Andrew & Matt!
This series was 🎉 everything. As a person who has studied everything, I can get my hands on regarding sleep, I learned many more things I can use to improve my sleep life. We’ve been donating for a couple of years now for this very reason, this work. Way better than a PBS membership. As always, thank you for the work.
This was absolutely fascinating! The way Matthew Walker presented, explained and engaged in all these incredible topics was simply superb!
That study on people figuring out the maze was truly a-maze-ing
You won't believe my dream last night! 😴. I've heard my yoga teacher had troubles sleeping, so I'd told her to be regular, keep the room dark and cool, and everything else I had learned from listening to the previous five episodes with dr Walker. 😴
Thank you both so much!
And I think I'm going to buy 8sleep for my mother in law for her menopausal sleep issues.
Haven't listened yet...actually have put this whole series to the side so far but when I saw lucid dreaming I knew this would be the one. I got deep into the lucid dreaming rabbit hole years ago, like 8+ years and I still say to this day it's one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. I wish everyone could experience it, its true sandbox mode but
thank you for recording this beautiful series.
I just LOVE LOVE this series, what a treat having you both discuss so clearly - with a true exciting and endearing passion for neuroscience - this crucial topic! It's a wonderful gift to us, thank you!... I am looking forward to the "more to come"
Hi Andrew.
It's a request to upload all the latest and new insights driven from this series in a separate solo episode like the ones you did for fitness protocol and mental health series. I understand that you have already uploaded the relevant episodes from sleep already but doing a solo episode on the latest insights and researches on sleep would be tremendously helpful for all of us.
Thankyou ❤
Watched every minute of all six episodes and am in TEARS WITH GRATITUDE at the great gift from both of you. Words cannot express my thanks. I especially appreciate the list of supplements to try as age brings new pains which wake me up when I change position. 69 in San Diego.
This has been an amazing series that I was looking forward to extremely. Thank you so much.
The goodbyes made me teary.
You guys rock.
So sad to see the end of this series, absolutely loved every bit of it! Wonderful topic and wonderful experts
Thank you a lot... I never thought I would an interest in Science (general). For some reason, I now am even considering to study Neuroscience. All the way from South Africa.
I’ve been following you for sometime now and am so grateful for your channel! I’ve been doing a ton of research into lucid dreaming recently and so happy you did this episode❤
Thank you, so much, for this series. I’ve struggled with sleep for my whole life - constantly forcing myself to wake in fight-or-flight - over and again. I was waking at 3:30-4:00am, I doubt that I was dropping into deep sleep, very often.
The Mg Biglycinate and Apigenin protocol has been a game changer.
I still wake often - however, I am now able to get back to sleep for a cycle or two. Further, my morning gut punch of panic is far less intense and destabilizing.
I have been on this protocol for a couple of months. Not looking back.
This series has been extremely interesting & beneficial. I’ve sent Ep 2 to friends. Today’s Q & A was helpful & I especially appreciate supplement info. Thank you, Dr Walker & Dr Huberman, so very much!
The mention of "lucid dreaming" was the biggest appeal of this podcast, but I was a bit disappointed that the conversation was superficial and didn't utilize the research on lucid dreaming already available. I love Andrew Huberman's work, and it would be inspiring to see more in-depth conversations with experts in the field of lucid dreaming, such as Dr. Stephen LaBerge, Dr. Benjamin Baird, and Dr. Ursula Voss. Thank you for the work you do to promote science!
I've always wanted to know the neuroscience of Dreaming, and these two brilliant minds finally answered so many queries regarding sleep and dreaming 💯
Couldn't love you guys more. This podcast is such a great platform for sharing wisdom. I only wish I were present at the dinner table for these conversations 💝
I love Matt's voice. I always fall asleep while listening to his audio book so I've never got beyond chapter 1 :P
Thank you both so much for these wonderful podcasts. My whole family is focused on getting better sleep. I learned a lot and am grateful.
Thank you so much for these 6 episodes, been gulty a bit for not having enough sleep so quality 8h sleep is all you need to know from these.
This was amazing!
You can call yourselves "The Dream team!" No pun intended. 😊
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will come back to these episodes to continue to help me optimize my sleep. So tired of waking up around the same time no matter what I do.
Lots of actionable advise.
Another top notch episode. I'm gladly appreciated to live in this time were people like you take the time to share and educate us with fantastic tools for the daily hardships. Thank you so much and God bless you guys and yours around.
Fascinating content Thank you AH and Dr. Walker👍🏻 My go to sleep aid after 29 years as a career firefighter is “Zolpidem”
Dr Huberman, thank you for providing this wonderful series with Dr Walker. I listen to many of your podcasts but these special episodes have been fascinating. We all sleep but generally we give it very little consideration, unless we have insomnia- which I have suffered particularly while working in a very stressful job in the British Civil Service. I truly wish I’d had the opportunity to hear these podcasts many years ago. Thankfully, I’ve put some protocols in place and can report that I’m getting much better sleep. So, thank you Dr Huberman and thank you Dr Walker for sharing your knowledge, so beautifully. Kind regards Karen Williams
Many years ago, I woke from a bad dream with my fingers prying my eyes open. I've had dreams since that were stressful (exams at school and can't find class or open locker, only waitress in busy restaurant, etc) and I tell myself in the dream that it's just a dream and walk away from whatever it is. I don't wake up but the dreams end. Can't remember the last time I've had a nightmare or bad dream. I love sleep 🙂
Not sure if I'm having a lucid dream right now, but this dude is definitely putting me to sleep.
Thank you both so much for this series. I've learned a lot and picked up several ideas to improve my sleep. It's been really fun listening to you, too.😊
Can’t wait to watch this… Lucid dreaming… I’ve had a few and they are cool. Learning to interpret dreams has been something I’ve done not only for myself but others and your dreams can tell you so much about your current life and past but most important what’s coming
lucid dreaming has been scientifically proven to be real don't lump in "interpreting dreams" which is completely made up.
This is amazing! How I can actually respond to what is happening in my dream; (and get a response too!) and knowing I am dreaming is indeed unexplainable. Thank you! I thought this is not possible and that I might be just imagining it happened. Not just once this happened to me. I write my dreams too.
I absolutely loved and learn a lot from your podcast. Plz do a podcast on the benefits of laughter and the science behind it.
Thank you for this series! I will listen to this series a second time to “make this stick.”
Thanks Dr. Andrei Huberman. Amazing.
He’s got a 13 incher as well
Hello Andrew. Thank you for all of the fascinating information that you are sharing on your podcast. Dr. Matt Walker is a great guest speaker. My question about sleep is... does sitting up in a chair, reclining back in the chair or lying down flat on a mat have a difference in sleep quality for the brain. For the body, lying flat would be best, but for the brain, it there a difference? Thank you
Amazing. I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, thanks so much guys!
Just today I had a lucid dream .I'm ready to learn.Thank you!!.
I used to work hard to lucid dream and always was super conscious of my dreams and found great meaning in life through them, but in the end it was a destabilizing force for me, I found myself lucid a lot, and my dreams were disturbing. Now I try to not think about it, try not to dream, and I feel I am more stable for it. If I'm not dreaming a lot, that's a sign things are good with me. I have a history of mania, night terrors and psychosis going back to childhood. It's all fun and games until you are dreaming while wide awake, I can attest. Just my two cents... sweet dreams everyone!
1:52:50 Absolutely love the idea of using mental walks to "short circuit" the brain and fall asleep. Definitely going to start trying that out on sleepless nights.
Thank you Dr Huberman and Dr Walker for these amazing sleep videos. You both have a great professional rapport with each other. I was wondering if maybe in the future, to follow up with this series of sleep videos , you could do a video outlining the key points of this series and adding to it information about how to prepare for sleep from the moment you first wake up...btw, I find your voices so tranquil and relaxing that I listen to your videos to help me sleep, but I relisten to them during the day because they are so full of up-to-date information that are gratefully helpfull!
This is one of your best podcasts, Andrew. Thank you so much. Fukin dreams man...
I love my lucid dreaming and I don't feel tired from it. I tried active imagination, too, which is a state between being awake and lucid dreaming. You have fewer options but still it is amazing. You kinda know what is going on in real life outside and at the same time you are exploring some imagination inside. In my case it was a city without people, only buildings. You could feel a breeze on your face, temperature and hear sounds like real life and you knew you are in your head and you could feel your bed under your back from reality and feel ground under your feet from the inside of you head. Amazing! After those "dreams" I feel like I reset myself after good long sleep. I think everyone experiences this kind of mind states a bit different.
I love this subject! Thanks for this video ❤
This is the way dreams should be worked through in therapy- guiding the client to make their own interpretation
Thank you. You finally gave me an explanation as to why I was waking up due to alcohol.
I spent two years trying to eliminate foods and find out what was causing me to wake up every 45 minutes for the first half of my night, but only on certain nights. I even gave up salt for a year. Finally I stopped wine which I did not drink every night but usually if I went out to eat. So I had an answer as to what was causing this but not why. BTW not a big drinker and 76 years old, so I have become more sensitive as I age.
Terrific series, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Massive thanks to you both
I just woke up from my first lucid dream ever. When I realized I was dreaming I remembered this podcast and tried the eye movement test. What a trip!
Will you describe the eye movement test for me , please.
Yes I been trying lucid dreaming and this'll help
Reminding me of the movie "Waking Life." Kind of want to play this podcast and the film at the same time, or perhaps add a scene. Thank you prof.! You are a treasure!
I love these two's conversations, so informative
Thank you dr. Huberman😊 I would appreciate it if you would talk about the consequences of sleeping too much.
I was hoping they would have mentioned this, too much is probably better than not enough. I sleep 10 hours plus naps and look 35 at 49 years old.
I’ve been looking forward to this one. I have a very, very weird dream life. I call it a life because that’s what it feels like. I often go to work at night in my dreams. Like in the little confectionery I worked in as a teenager. Or the deli I worked in while I was in college. It’s pretty exhausting. Fix me please. I love you two. Thanks so much for the series. And I agree with everything Matt said in signing off. Thank you for you generous heart and everything you do to help us all out.
You need to ask for overtime and double pay with the amount of work you're doing in your sleep.
@@FoursWithin Right? Lol.
Great podcast and finale for sleep series . I have learned a great deal from this series .
The dream segment was very interesting .
Thank you for all your hard work .
*Did not* *did not* Did not want this guest series to end! you 2 are like a Pas de Deux
I had lucid nightmares 7 or more times in my life. Its the most terrifying shit I had in my life. You see shit, you feel shit and you can "fake wakeup" multiple times in a row. For me it was "something" that is following me and staring at me, not even attacking me just staring and following. I cant really fully see it (detail), but I can feel its "intention". The trigger when they attack is when i try to switch the light on or run into them. I can run away but sometimes they or it blocks the way. When I was young I didint know what it is and even today I am afraid. I need to wait in my bed that my body falls asleep so my eyes close on my own and that is not good (who would have thought). When I look back at the times it happend to me it was so god dam terrifying I cant even put it in words, you just cant run away from it. You just run from the inevitably. If you know what a lucid nightmare is and how to defeat it and make it in a "good" one you have a chance but how tf do you know that when you are 10 or so.
Final episode !!! So excited just starting
This is very interesting to me, I dream vividly every single night and have done for most of my life. I meet many different types of beings and go many new places. I'm hoping this helps to unravel a few questions. When it comes to lucid dreaming, the moment I know I'm dreaming I tend to have reality come flooding back and I wake
PLEASE do an episode with Dr. Lisa Miller, author of the Awakened Brain. Her study on the science of Spirituality and its physiological effects on the brain are so fascinating. I would love to hear a conversation between the two of you on her findings and work.
