Do I go through with this merger?

Do I sell this company?

Do I hire this person?

Do I marry this person?

And it's been amazing, like the number of like people who love Excel spreadsheets and make decks in investment banks.

That's what they do, investment banks, PE.

The number of people who've decided to break up with their partner because we do a dream analysis and it really brings to the surface everything that they're feeling is astronomical.

Then we get to the third part, which I think is the most woo-woo part, but I still think is pretty valid, which is the symbolism of the dream.

So the objects that your brain creates in your dreams are tied to,

your relationship to those objects.

So a snake for one person may be a dangerous addiction.

And for another person could be like, maybe you're a Slytherin and you love snakes and it's a great pet.

So I don't really believe that, right?

So human beings have differential responses.

And if your brain, and that's kind of why we go back to that first point.

I don't know if you'll remember the second point that I made, not the first point.

was that your brain is like bounded by, I mean, your dream is bounded by your experience.

You don't have dreams and languages that you don't understand.

You don't have dreams with like objects that you've never seen before, right?

So your brain is like, okay, like how do I process fear?
