Nightmares Make the Mind | Dr. Rahul Jandial

I think nightmares make the mind. Nightmares make the mind. Yeah, they make you sharp. They give you a sense of self versus other. They make you less gullible. They create a sense of threat. The fleeing and the terror. I think it guides the cultivation of this thing called theory of mind, where you realize just because the person is smiling, that doesn't mean they have good intentions. Interesting. And that is it's cool, right? They're not arriving for all of us at age eight, six, seven, eight, and then fading for most of us as we get into adolescence without a reason. That's not a glitch in the system.
