Does 10 seconds in a dream equal 10 seconds in real life?

How do you get information to somebody when they're in a dream,

and how can they answer you back while they're inside their dream?

Why might you see someone in real life

flicking the light switch on and off

every time they enter a room?

Can you prompt your brain

the way you prompt a large language model

like chat GPT?

And if so, if you could pose one question

to your unconscious brain,

what would it be?

Welcome to Inner Cosmos with me, David Eagleman.

I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford,

and in these episodes, we sailed deeply into our three-pound universe

to understand why and how our lives look the way they do.

Today's episode takes us on a journey into the world of lucid dreaming.

So get comfortable and let's dive in.

So maybe you saw this great movie Inception.
