@@hubermanlab :)7 Please- What are your thoughts on- ¿DMT in association between: Dreaming, Dying , & early development? From my understanding your pituitary gland produces DMT- when you are within REM; moreover, some sporadic amounts- during early development.. & an unprecedented amount when we dye & even random amounts leading to death… ¿What is your take- on the importance & associations between these DMT, life events?
My partner had been, for decades , afflicted with frequent nightmares. She had been prescribed several different medications for this problem, with no relief. As a hypnotherapist, we conducted two hypnosis sessions for this. Her nightmares have abated by about %90. Also, THC suppresses REM sleep, and there’s a phenomenon called rebound REM when you quit cannabis
I felt trapped for a while, but a very deep dream opened a door to begin individuation. Dreams are powerful if used wisely. The biggest tools you can have are a pen/pencil and paper right next to your bed. So, I agree completely with your comment. In the words of Steven Tyler "Dream on".
And some of the absolute worst. Some of the most hellish experiences I've ever had were in ultra vivid dreams that would make the worst horror movie look like Sesame Street.
Same, my beloved mama passed away 6 months ago and i have dreams of her almost every once a week.. She is alive and struggling to survive every single time.. I hope your dad and my mom are finally at rest..
My condolences to you. Never easy losing a parent... Lost my mom 5 years ago and while time does heal, it's still hard to accept. I too have had visits from her in my sleep and they brought me to tears on waking up. One in particular where she was comforting me that things were going to be ok and I woke up in a very serene and relaxed state. Dreams are pretty cool!
Hi dear Dr. Huberman, I'm from Iran and I've been listening to you podcasts for the past 3 years before I moved to Canada 2 years ago. I listen to your podcast every single day on my way to school and coming back while I'm biking. Your podcasts completely changed my life in a whole other way. I know you get this a lot but it made me so interested in science and particularly neuroscience that I'm hoping into getting into u of t to pursuit my passion in exploring science and contributing to this world. I've always in my life wanted to be a doctor since I was born, you don't know how much you influenced and motivated my mindset. You're my biggest role model and it's my biggest dream to see you in university of Standford in a few years. I'll let you know in a couple months about my acceptance in u of t bachelor psychology and health science. God willing. I hope you read my comment like how you promised Kian
Dr. Hu reman, you have changed my life in two years for a better version of me in almost every aspect of life experience.. you have allowed me to assist and save a loved one from developing a mental breakdown and ultimately illness. I am eternally grateful to you.
As someone who has done both EMDR and ketamine therapy I find this fascinating. And thanks to you from previous episodes, I now prioritize my sleep health. Thank you Andrew for keeping us educated!
Thank u Dr. Huberman for explaining it so well. As I commented earlier, one thing that puts me to sleep are your NSDR videos, like I literally dose off somewhere in the middle of the 20 minute video and I would wake up to some ad at the end of the video and manage to pull the ear phone off to go back to sleep ......You have an awesome voice. Cannot thank you enough for making those videos - it has helped me.
Thank you. I live in the UK and since 2021 the neighbours and/or people I have lived in shared accommodation with have knocked on the walls whenever I try to sleep. The authorities claim to be powerless to stop this despite the fact that I have carefully documented it and I have moved house many times to different regions of England. Unfortunately I can attest to the negative effects this sleep deprivation has had on my own psychology. The functional impact can be catastrophic and it is rightly viewed as a form of torture. I have reason to believe that I am not the only person who has been targeted in this way and it would be great if we could stop this organised harrasment and make people accountable.
Thank you, Andrew Huberman, for sharing such valuable and insightful information about sleep and its impact on learning, emotional regulation, and overall health. Your scientific yet practical approach helps us better understand how to optimize our nights to improve our daily lives. We truly appreciate your dedication to spreading knowledge that makes a real difference. You’ve gained another subscriber!
Ah, I loved this explanation about REM sleep helping to unlearn unhelpful emotional attachments. Thank you for the succinct explanation! I have benefited greatly from EMDR therapy to help my brain release unhelpful emotional attachments from my caregiver PTSD. I could actually feel my brain remapping to a solution-oriented view of my trauma triggers during the therapy. Just one session was an absolute game changer. That combined with exercise and other factors have allowed me to heal and make progress in my own personal goals and career while still being a caregiver. I'm just about to start my first biostatistician job, and it's exciting. Thank you, as always, for the high-quality, relevant information!
I fell deep into postpartum depression and anxiety when my baby hit the 4 month sleep regression. REM sleep is unbelievably powerful. Thank you for the clear explanation!
After a year of taking a tiny dose of natural melatonin, i have the most vivid dreams ,mostly retrospective dreams that I can link to the previous days events. But are so vivid that I confuse them sometimes with actual events.
This is a very good breakdown of the surface level understanding. But I think it goes deeper than we can test with facts, just like we can't prove what anyone is dreaming about.
Great episode! Please make an episode on how the brain changes during motherhood and how the sleep changes after a child is born affect the mother and if this has anything to do with postpartum depression
I had the craziest dream and I've been wondering what it means, because I remember it very well. I typed in your name, and first video I see is this one... I love it when I communicate with the universe. Amazing!
¡Hola Profe! Thank You for educating us on the importance of consistency of sleep duration. That, instead of "as much as possible" or "8 hours", was truly life changing for me. Thank You for all Your hard work and care for all of us.
Wow, had many vivid dreams over the years, this is a super topic. Will hopefully sleep peacefully cheers prof. Hope everyone sleeps and dreams peacefully. ❤
Exactly what I said once. Memories stay, it just that over a period of time the emotional connection goes on decreasing. Inhave been associated with Yoga and it's practices. Our Guruji Nimbalkarji mentioned about Sakshi Bhavana i.e. witnessing events that comes to one's mind passively or as a third person (who is not involved in the event) that comes post practice of Pranadhara and sitting still and being conscious about whatever floods the mind. My experience is that over a period of time, could feel my emotional connection to the event reduced and could now see how I can learn from the event however unpleasant the event can be.
I have remembered four dreams in my entire life. I don't want to dream .I want to go to sleep and turn off and that's what I tell my brain. When I remember a dream I wake up exhausted And annoyed. If my brain wants fantasy to work things out that I have Lived through all the power to it, let it carry on, I just don't want to watch. Leave me alone, let me rest, lights out.That's it
Many anxiety dreams serve as warnings. I'm a truck driver and regularly have dreams about leaving the hand brake/parking brake off. Or getting out whilst the vehicle is moving and running after the truck to try to get back into the cab. A lot of dreams where the brake pedal is ineffective or doesnt slow the vehicle quickly. I dont really have many accidents in real life. Any accidents i've had in the last 20 years have been non serious & i have 22 years no claims discount. I also grind/clench my teeth at night and clench my fists sometimes when dreaming. I wake up with joint ache in my fingers & knuckles quite often.
The brake pedal not working dream is probably a common one. I've had it several times and would consider it similar to a "primal fear" like falling or nakedness.
I had this dream the other night. I couldn’t catch the car even though I was so close to getting to it and as soon as the car was about to hit the wall I’d wake up.
I'm not saying psilocybin, but psilocybin. As long as you're not bpd or have symptoms of psychosis, they've done wonders for my ability to learn visualization with repetition and practice.
@leialuminous I've done EVERYTHING. While I do experience incredibly real hallucinations on DMT and psilocybin, I never get to "keep" these visuals. I've even trained in image streaming, nothing..
PLEASE add the best treatment for chronic NIGHTMARES: Imagery Rehearsal Therapy. Justin Havens has a terrific YT video. This is best done with a therapist that can guide you, because if you do it wrong, your nightmares get worse. Really. But Prazosin will affect your blood pressure, and bad sleep will destroy your health.
I dream EVERY night in colour and remember all my dreams for hours, sometimes days after I wake. Unfortunately I only get about 3-5 hours sleep a night with a block lasting no more than 2-3 hours before it’s broken.
I remember when I was young i woke up and I saw my mother and told her to come out in the and see my sister and dad but she couldn’t and then she disappeared and I went and told them
Dr. Huberman, are you aware of the evidence regarding the ineffectiveness of the additional eye movement component in EMDR their therapy? I'm confused that the eye movement thing still gets so much attention, even though it's ineffective.
thak you so much master i have to learn more about how getting better and better in my night of sleep for while. I do phisical exercise running three times for week and seek out my inner strength every single day into my dungeon
THANK YOU ANDREW for helping me realize my hallucinations and lost-in-airport experience last month HAD to be due to severe lack for sleep & jet lag. Low sleep week followed by over 2 days zero sleep. It was terrifying at the time, now I’m trying to think it was funny. I think it’s been years since I remembered a dream. Planning on microdosing psilocybin for anxiety/depression. Im curious if microdosing before bed may be more effective than daytime. From all I’ve heard that seems logical ( from my couch).
Hi Doctor Huberman. Thank you for posting these videos. I recently had neck surgery and am in recovery. I’ve lost all strength and fine motor coordination in my left arm and hand. The doctor has prescribed gabapentin as part of my recovery treatment. I play fingerstyle guitar as a hobby; so I am unable to do this at this time. Any advice on reacquiring my guitar playing skills? Also, Gabapentin, how does it help? Thank you again; I have a family of nerds that really enjoy your podcasts.
13:38 russians shell missiles on my city at around 4-6am typically. I can confirm that depriving REM sleep does make it difficult to handle anxiety. Plus, you read the news. Never connected this with sleep. Interesting correlation, will try to get longer REM when possible
Many years ago, my mother and I had the same symptom panic attack that Carter grows up out of nowhere and we’re misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia at the time and when I got put on massive amounts of medication to keep the panic and anxiety bathe, it only worked momentarily and then I had to increase my dosage so I got pulled over for driving oddly in the late 80s and I ended up getting one of the driving while under the influence of medication and when I went to Phoenix to get a new job in a new life with my at that time Husband, I went to a clinic where EMDR we’re just starting and I used it and it did not fix everything. They have never had another panic attack
What is going on when a person has a nightmare about a very traumatic event and awakens with high levels of adrenaline already deployed - racing heart and extreme anxiety. Do nightmares happen outside of REM? Is it an issue that occurs when coming out of REM (because adrenaline supposedly is not deployed during REM)? Once awake with that adrenaline surge it is very challenging to get back to sleep.
I love dreaming !! I have had very interesting dreams. My dreams are a direct reflection of my mental state. Dreams are fascinating! We never stop learning!! Neurons are running full speed.
Dr Andrew Huberman, thanks for the great insights in this video! I have a question though - since during REM sleep our emotions are detached from the traumatic events, what can explain the traumatic dreams that cause people feel the dream as it is completely real as well as the emotions that the dream triggers - especially if it induces fear, anxiety or another strong negative emotion?
Somewhere I heard that REM sleep is also where our day in downloaded in our brain so we do not think about it all the time, I want someone to do a study on us autistic people and see if we all do not enter REM sleep or stay in it long enough and that is why we do not forget the shit we live through and we keep reliving it over and over again
11:00 are you sure? I've experiences heightened states of fear/anxiety during particular recurring dreams. I thought that was normal.. It causes me to wake abruptly in the night. I have recently [within the last year] began EMDR which has been somewhat helpful.
I think it's important that your comfortable mind is effectively co-existing around your environment. The reason is that it affects your dreams. I think it's different from you, but I remember getting treated with retinal detachment, and after that, I had a visual discomfort when I slept with my eyes closed, so I had to sleep with stress. However, as I worked on the activity of enduring with persistence, my eye health improved and I started to wake up comfortably. I think you may need a healing activity to change your thoughts positively. I hope this is a helpful piece for you.
Great question. They use correlated changes in heart rate and breathing. It depends a little bit on the device. Somewhere now starting to rely on temperature which is even better.
i would love to know your take on the jungian active imagination technique. the intentional revisiting of dreams whilst awake. if youve done something on that i would be very interested. i learned about it last year and it is fascinating to me. ive done it a few times and found it quite helpful but not a little terrifying.
I’m really enjoying learning about the correlation between sleep and memory, on the Coursera app. Thanks so very much for introducing us to the world of Coursera. Im so excited about it. The hardest part of it is narrowing down the list of courses that I want to take. Love that problem lol.
I spent some time looking at Coursera. Learning how to Learn sounded interesting. Couldn’t find it anywhere on the site after and hour of exploring. Just lots of other courses.
So, what do we think the effect of cannabis is on this function of REM sleep? I'm 60 days clean from a heavy daily use pattern, and my dreams are still very wild and emotionally distraught. It's very strange
Aside from God and my kids my dreams are my favorite thing in life, the place I go back to , what I want most and lend me hope peace and solace. The only thing that could be better is if they came true. I will not do anything to stop my dreams. I will be filled by them the rest of my life. And so what. They are everything. I love the study of sleep and dreams. And I am grateful for mine
Last night I dreamt that I was at a crematorium and the guy who was cremating someone was using the heat to make some nuggets and fries at the same time. The hell does that mean?!
I guess it's because you've watched too many movies about an event, or because you're so imaginative in your dreams that you're a person whose future story continues even though you're asleep. But I think that's sometimes the case.
Interesting and informative episode Andrew, well done 👏🏼🤙🏼 Ever since watching Altered States and Dreamscape back in the day, dreams have always fascinated. 🧐
I'd love to see Dr. Monika Wikman in your show. Monika received her PhD in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and then deepened her knowledge of Jungian Analysis at the Jung-Von Franz Center for Depth psychology in Zurich. She is an expert on topics including archetypal phenomena surrounding death, dreams, active imagination, and alchemy. Her work with the dying culminated in a research project called ‘Dreams of the Dying’ at UC San Diego Medical Center, which is the foundation of her most recent book, Alchemy of Life, Death and the Wedding Veil. Thanks for considering my request.
I’m a psychic medium but have no control over it. It just happens randomly. Like at my mom’s funeral, she told me something important via clairaudience. My deceased brother visited me in my sleep when I was younger. And since 19, my deceased best friend/soulmate has visited me off and on, mainly in my sleep, however once through clairaudience while I was awake and once when I was able to go into a trance (which I’ve never been able to do again) and only tried it because I knew he was trying to connect with me. I have some videos on my channel about some of my psychic experiences. My question is, is there something I can do to activate this ability, to increase the frequency, rather than letting it continue being random and much out of my control? I do have other psychic abilities but I am more interested in increasing the frequency of my psychic medium abilities. As for the messages I get, they’re quite clear and very profound, so no problems there. Also, I don’t use any cards or tools or anything else. Thanks.
@@chuck4714 Isn't it because you've been worried lately? For example, I like to have a break even when I'm active. Then, I feel the effect of feeling comfortable before and during sleep, even after waking up dreaming.
The video discusses the role of sleep and dreams in learning and emotional processing. It explains how slow-wave sleep aids motor learning, while REM sleep helps uncouple emotions from experiences. The video also compares REM sleep to trauma therapies like EMDR and ketamine treatment.
Thank you very much ! The idea of self-induced therapy during sleep appeals to me very much. But I have a question: how can you explain those dreams that are full of anxiety, I mean nightmares ? If anxiety in dreams occurs strongly most people tend to wake up shocked and after a little wgile recognise with relief „ This was only a dream!“ 34:57
Curious to know if the therapeutic use of MDMA mimics REM sleep/EMDR therapy? The fact people who do MDMA therapeutic treatment talk about being able to experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them makes me think of this. Also, could increasing REM sleep for people with mental illness like schizophrenia , help reduce the impact of the illness when awake?

Does it matter if you never remember having dreams? Or very very rarely do?
Are you able to visualise thoughts? There are some people that don't have an imagination so can't dream either.
I would really appreciate if you can bring a new video on neuroplasticity.😊
Yes, please.

13:38 russians shell missiles on my city at around 4-6am typically. I can confirm that depriving REM sleep does make it difficult to handle anxiety. Plus, you read the news. Never connected this with sleep. Interesting correlation, will try to get longer REM when possible
Many years ago, my mother and I had the same symptom panic attack that Carter grows up out of nowhere and we’re misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia at the time and when I got put on massive amounts of medication to keep the panic and anxiety bathe, it only worked momentarily and then I had to increase my dosage so I got pulled over for driving oddly in the late 80s and I ended up getting one of the driving while under the influence of medication and when I went to Phoenix to get a new job in a new life with my at that time Husband, I went to a clinic where EMDR we’re just starting and I used it and it did not fix everything. They have never had another panic attack
What is going on when a person has a nightmare about a very traumatic event and awakens with high levels of adrenaline already deployed - racing heart and extreme anxiety. Do nightmares happen outside of REM? Is it an issue that occurs when coming out of REM (because adrenaline supposedly is not deployed during REM)? Once awake with that adrenaline surge it is very challenging to get back to sleep.
Absolutely fascinating, thank you
I love dreaming !! I have had very interesting dreams. My dreams are a direct reflection of my mental state. Dreams are fascinating! We never stop learning!!
Neurons are running full speed.
Magnesium Glycinate? Lemon Balm? I find it enhances a deep sleep and REM.
Ashwagandha gummies give me the best vivid dreams even if they are a bit weird sometimes 🎉❤
Good morning!
Thank you so much!❤
Dr Andrew Huberman, thanks for the great insights in this video! I have a question though - since during REM sleep our emotions are detached from the traumatic events, what can explain the traumatic dreams that cause people feel the dream as it is completely real as well as the emotions that the dream triggers - especially if it induces fear, anxiety or another strong negative emotion?
14:42 will watch other part tomorrow
Somewhere I heard that REM sleep is also where our day in downloaded in our brain so we do not think about it all the time, I want someone to do a study on us autistic people and see if we all do not enter REM sleep or stay in it long enough and that is why we do not forget the shit we live through and we keep reliving it over and over again
11:00 are you sure? I've experiences heightened states of fear/anxiety during particular recurring dreams. I thought that was normal.. It causes me to wake abruptly in the night. I have recently [within the last year] began EMDR which has been somewhat helpful.
I think it's important that your comfortable mind is effectively co-existing around your environment. The reason is that it affects your dreams. I think it's different from you, but I remember getting treated with retinal detachment, and after that, I had a visual discomfort when I slept with my eyes closed, so I had to sleep with stress. However, as I worked on the activity of enduring with persistence, my eye health improved and I started to wake up comfortably. I think you may need a healing activity to change your thoughts positively. I hope this is a helpful piece for you.
Hhow well do the wearables such as watches track both deep and rem sleep. Can one rely on the data provided from these wearable?
Great question. They use correlated changes in heart rate and breathing. It depends a little bit on the device. Somewhere now starting to rely on temperature which is even better.
Also movement
Never heard the Essentials intro before and thought I had a stroke for a second being completely used to the normal intro
Same lol.
My dreams… sometimes they come true at a later time and some with those who have passed away..
I’m very Faith driven and Native American. Same. ☀️
I get training from God through my ancestry of Angels. 💜🫡
i would love to know your take on the jungian active imagination technique. the intentional revisiting of dreams whilst awake. if youve done something on that i would be very interested. i learned about it last year and it is fascinating to me. ive done it a few times and found it quite helpful but not a little terrifying.
I’m really enjoying learning about the correlation between sleep and memory, on the Coursera app. Thanks so very much for introducing us to the world of Coursera. Im so excited about it. The hardest part of it is narrowing down the list of courses that I want to take. Love that problem lol.
I spent some time looking at Coursera. Learning how to Learn sounded interesting. Couldn’t find it anywhere on the site after and hour of exploring. Just lots of other courses.
@ if you download the app and create an account, when finished it will take you immediately to the first course, which is learning how to learn.
OK Thanks. I didn’t know about the app
So, what do we think the effect of cannabis is on this function of REM sleep? I'm 60 days clean from a heavy daily use pattern, and my dreams are still very wild and emotionally distraught. It's very strange
To be sure, I thought there would be some more focus on cognitive analysis of dreams. I wish I knew what mine meant
Thanks for this great information, I have question could I apply this tools if I am sleeping on day nether for sleeping on night
Aside from God and my kids my dreams are my favorite thing in life, the place I go back to , what I want most and lend me hope peace and solace. The only thing that could be better is if they came true. I will not do anything to stop my dreams. I will be filled by them the rest of my life. And so what. They are everything. I love the study of sleep and dreams. And I am grateful for mine
Last night I dreamt that I was at a crematorium and the guy who was cremating someone was using the heat to make some nuggets and fries at the same time. The hell does that mean?!
Not much, if I had to guess
You're in the mood for some really crispy food
I guess it's because you've watched too many movies about an event, or because you're so imaginative in your dreams that you're a person whose future story continues even though you're asleep. But I think that's sometimes the case.
It means let him cook
Bro dreamed mc donalds documentary
Interesting and informative episode Andrew, well done 👏🏼🤙🏼
Ever since watching Altered States and Dreamscape back in the day, dreams have always fascinated. 🧐
What are you doing differently for your skin Andrew? It looks really good.
I'd love to see Dr. Monika Wikman in your show. Monika received her PhD in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and then deepened her knowledge of Jungian Analysis at the Jung-Von Franz Center for Depth psychology in Zurich. She is an expert on topics including archetypal phenomena surrounding death, dreams, active imagination, and alchemy. Her work with the dying culminated in a research project called ‘Dreams of the Dying’ at UC San Diego Medical Center, which is the foundation of her most recent book, Alchemy of Life, Death and the Wedding Veil.
Thanks for considering my request.
My dreams taught me to wake up and use the bathroom and not piss the bed
Sometimes when I'm really tired and still up, like combing my daughter's hair, I fall into a doze and dream immediately. What kind of sleep is that?
If you drop really quickly into rapid eye movement sleep at the beginning of the night chances are youre sleep deprived but not always.
Where can I sign up for a subscription for REM sleep??
Question: does REM sleep have a particular brain wave frequency? Gamma? Theta?
What does it mean if you don't dream?
I’m a psychic medium but have no control over it. It just happens randomly. Like at my mom’s funeral, she told me something important via clairaudience. My deceased brother visited me in my sleep when I was younger. And since 19, my deceased best friend/soulmate has visited me off and on, mainly in my sleep, however once through clairaudience while I was awake and once when I was able to go into a trance (which I’ve never been able to do again) and only tried it because I knew he was trying to connect with me. I have some videos on my channel about some of my psychic experiences. My question is, is there something I can do to activate this ability, to increase the frequency, rather than letting it continue being random and much out of my control? I do have other psychic abilities but I am more interested in increasing the frequency of my psychic medium abilities. As for the messages I get, they’re quite clear and very profound, so no problems there. Also, I don’t use any cards or tools or anything else. Thanks.
Then why do i still get anxiety and scaeed in my dreams sometimes?
@@chuck4714 Isn't it because you've been worried lately? For example, I like to have a break even when I'm active. Then, I feel the effect of feeling comfortable before and during sleep, even after waking up dreaming.
Thanks a lot. Could you also tell us what are the studies proving that EMDR are not reproducing REM sleep ?
The video discusses the role of sleep and dreams in learning and emotional processing. It explains how slow-wave sleep aids motor learning, while REM sleep helps uncouple emotions from experiences. The video also compares REM sleep to trauma therapies like EMDR and ketamine treatment.
thank you chatgpt
@MB-up3mh you're welcome!
Thank you very much ! The idea of self-induced therapy during sleep appeals to me very much.
But I have a question: how can you explain those dreams that are full of anxiety, I mean nightmares ? If anxiety in dreams occurs strongly most people tend to wake up shocked and after a little wgile recognise with relief „ This was only a dream!“ 34:57
Curious to know if the therapeutic use of MDMA mimics REM sleep/EMDR therapy? The fact people who do MDMA therapeutic treatment talk about being able to experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them makes me think of this. Also, could increasing REM sleep for people with mental illness like schizophrenia , help reduce the impact of the illness when awake?
