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

And if your brain tries to serve it up to you in a concrete way, you will reject it because you, like all other human beings, have psychological defense mechanisms.

Your brain experiences more emotion than you can process in a given day.

That is what I think the function of dreams is.

Dreams, like the reason that we have dreams is because we experience all these emotions that get suppressed by our logical mind, get suppressed by our defense mechanisms.

We're focused on data and then our brain is left with all this activation, right?

So just because you are suppressing an emotion doesn't mean that your limbic system and your amygdala are not active.

Blood is flowing there and then your brain is like trying to bury it.

So that needs to be processed in some way.

And this is why the more logical you are, the more useful dream interpretation is because your brain is pushing aside all of this stuff.

Now, how do you work with your dreams?

So the first thing that I would recommend is that you get a dream journal, okay?

So a dream journal can be like a notebook.

I like pen and paper, strongly recommend it.

I don't know why.

It seems like it accesses the dream better, but you can use like a notes app on your phone.

Leave it by your bed at night.

If you wake up in the middle of the night with a dream, write down as many details as you can.

When you wake up in the morning, just write down as many details as you can.

Some people that I've worked with who do a lot more dream work will sort of say that like it can be useful to literally talk to your brain before you go to bed.

So you can have some like weird, I know this is woo-woo, but like people who work with dreams say that this works pretty well, right?
