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

Like, I don't know if this kind of makes sense, but just because scientifically we know that all people dream and that if you have PTSD, you have nightmares.

You have a lot of like psychoanalysts, people like Freud, right, who said, okay, if your teeth are falling out in a dream, that means you are afraid of death.

If you have a dream of a phallic object, that means you're in the phallic phase and penis, penis, penis, anus, anus, anus, phallus, phallus, phallus.

So you have all of these like texts by psychoanalysts and therapists about archetypes and symbolism where they say like this is true.

I don't really buy that on a scientific level.

I think that it's fine to make that interpretation.

It's fine to have that as a hypothesis.

But there's a gap for me between the science of dreaming and all of these psychoanalytic interpretations.

But we sort of know that there is some connection, right?

So how do we understand what that connection is?

And that's where we have to get to literally how the brain and how the mind work.

So the first thing that we have to understand about the brain is that it processes a lot more information than you are consciously aware of.

So like my favorite example of this is if you look at these like spy movies, right?

Where it's like someone is training to be a spy.

There's like the senior spy, like the mentor spy and the junior spy.

And they like go, they like walk down the street and they sit in a cafe.

And then the mentor spy is like,

Okay, which person had a yellow handbag?

And then the trainee spy is like training their mind to recall this little bit of information and who's sitting over there and which person was on their cell phone and what language was the person who was talking on the cell phone speaking.

Like there are all these like, there's like all this like training, right?
