HealthyGamerGG · What Your Dreams Are Actually Trying To Tell You · 6 Oct 2025 podcast

And the first really weird thing is that dreams are highly conserved in animals and humans.

So basically mammals, all mammals dream, and we sort of know that they dream because there are certain signs of it, and we all dream.

So there must be some utility to dreams, otherwise we wouldn't dream.

Second thing that we know is that REM sleep, rapid eye movement sleep, which is the last phase of sleep,

Tends to be the most restful for human beings.

So when human beings get their REM sleep interrupted or they don't get sufficient REM sleep, their mental health, their physical health, their stress levels, their cortisol levels, like the body and brain don't function well unless we get sufficient REM sleep.

We also know that REM sleep is when dreaming happens.

So there's clearly a correlation between dreaming and health and fitness of the human being.

So that's like the first thing, that dreams exist, they happen in animals, they happen in humans, and there's some reason.

Now the question becomes, why though?

What is the function of dreams?

What do they do?

And this is where we get to another really interesting scientific kind of observation, which is that dreams are not really random.
