This episode is all about the two major kinds of dreams and the sorts of learning and unlearning they are used for. I discuss REMassociated dreams that control emotional learning and their similarity to various trauma treatments such as ketamine and EMDR. I also discuss NonREM dreams and their role in motor learning and learning of detailed, nonemotionallyladen information. I relate this to sciencebacked tools for accessing more of the types of sleep and learning people may want. Other topics are listed in the time stamps below. Please put any questions or thoughts (or dreams!) you have in the comments section.
