@petermcginnes: I've gotten a lot of requests to talk about dreaming. Here is a leading hypothesis I find super cool! 🧠😴 #dream #sleep #neuroscience #LearnOnTikTok #EduTok

ShanePC :

You explained this well, although I don’t understand the Risk analogy. Perhaps it’s been too long since I’ve played risk?!

pcheez :

I’ve heard this hypothesis but why wouldn’t auditory and somatosensory areas be similarly at risk of encroachment assuming we’re sleeping in a quiet environment without too much movement?

BOGDAN96@ :

Whatever you say gorgeous!

LEAP Transformation :

That is super interesting!

TheRedTigerGoddess :

lately I have been dreaming a lot. My dreams are very detailed. I am not sure, but when I wake up from these dreams it feels like I have been an active participant in these dreams and I wake up tired like I didn't really sleep. anyone else?

Pokéguy16 :

I’ve never played the game risk

TheQueerDM :

So dreams are just a screensaver?

perfect.lil.troublemaker :

Why does the brain make dreams so bizarre at times?

Stevie D :

That's a very easy way to explain this, incredibly well done 😁

Chloeee💋🐆 :

OK, I have a serious question that I’ve never been able to answer nor do I understand so when I focus, I can make a tingly sensation in my legs and arms kind of like static throughout my body but when I stop when I want, I can immediately switch it off like a light switch and my heart kind of slows down and I twitch, but it doesn’t affect me in any kind of way afterwards,? Nobody’s been able to ever answer this for me so hopefully maybe you can.

Jasmin :

That’s super interesting!!

ASHH :

I have extremely vivid dreams. Nothing bad, well sometimes but it’s not like nightmares.. Just crazy situations. The dreams are very vivid, from people, to colors, to smells and voices.. It’s crazy.

Evergardener :

oh that's really cool does that prove we see dreams every night even if we don't remember them

Bastianz :

i can’t even count the number of time i said how fucking gorgeous he is while watching his videos

Katy’s Healthy Recipe :

Always interesting always helpful ✨

Edward :

love today's lesson Doc!

Kotrag🇧🇬🚩 :

Sure,but how does that explain nightmares and fever dreams?

Jim :

I LOVE Risk!

Elles :

Love this 😌🫶

Steve :

That’s so fascinating! I love these topics. This feels like a topic that could open up deep conversation over beers at a pub. Haha

The XY Crew :

I don’t get the risk analogy, but I get the metaphor. All sense have their seat at the table. If one of them gets up, the others will try to take their food, whether they’re at the table or not. I wonder away from the table they’ll try to take up their space regardless. So in order to keep their place at the table they dream that the visual nature isn’t lost on your brain 🧠 and it doesn’t forget your rightful spot.

JC Valdez :
