Summary

In this episode, I take you on a new exploration journey, to discover what science can tell us about sleep and dreams: What happens when we sleep? What are the phases of sleep and the difference between quiescent sleep and paradoxical/REM sleep? Why do we need it? What are intermediary states of consciousness like sleepwalking or lucid dreaming? I also tell you about the origins of dreams, their possible functions, and how neurobiology, psychoanalysis, psychology, religion, or literature approached them.
