Why Do We Dream? | Dr. Rahul Jandial

The brain needs to dream. The sleep is so that the brain can dream and stay fine-tuned and stay fully adapted and stay fully enriched in all the corners of his mind without just the boring part of our day. Right. If the brain only did what we did, driving the 101 or doing this, which is fantastic, but it would become rigid, right? It would become like an arm that's never stretched past a certain distance. You get a contracture. Now, the people have other ideas, like it's threat training or. It's a nighttime therapist. I get that and I think in some capacity, but at the most fundamental level, it's like high intensity training for your mind. At night, it just goes wild to make sure all those capacities and resources, imaginations, if you will, are accessible to you if you needed them during the day, if the environment or evolution needed it.
