My typical dream goes something like this. I'm trying to log into my Gmail account and I

am typing the correct password and it blocks me. I type correct password and it blocks me.

I recover the password and I don't get the SMS. I type the next password and it blocks

me. This is the kind of thing I dream about. Because of this, I typically tell people

and say out loud that I don't dream, which really means I don't pay attention to my dreams

because they're so pedestrian because they're anxiety-related and because for me, at

least in my previous life, it's been easier just to ignore what I'm thinking about for

that 25-30% of my day when I'm sleeping. In the past year, I've had one of the better

sleep years of my life, which means I would give it like a B-minus in terms of sleep quality.

I'm not a... I've struggled with sleep for a lot of my life, but it's been improving and

I'm noticing that the quality of my sleep is directly correlated with the quality of my

mental health, so I am trying to get better at it. Hence, this week's show on dreams

and the importance of dreams for mental health, for memory consolidation and just for a holistic

mindful being. We all dream. We dream every day. Whether you're paying attention or not,

I'm not. It's there and it's something we can learn from. It's something we can utilize

and it's certainly something that we should be mindful of. And when I say we, I mean me.

If you're new here, it's the Lucas Rockwood show. I'm a yoga teacher, a teacher trainer,

a serial entrepreneur. I'm the father of three kids, but first and foremost, I'm a student.

I like to learn things. So I got into the world and I find people who are writing books,

studying dreaming, meditators, medical doctors, all of the above. And I try to bring their

best work here to you on the show. So hopefully, we can all live more inspired lives. Let's

see how it goes. If you'd like to support the show, best thing to do is just scroll down
