If you have the stroke in the left, they will not have this delusion. That's the funny part, right? So it's only in the right. So this tells you there's something going on about self in the rights that's obviously different.

Alteration of self, right? Yeah. Interestingly, if you have a stroke to the prefrontal on the left side, you will develop catastrophic reactions to anything. So you might have a conversation and start crying in the middle of the conversation without any obvious reason. If you get a stroke in the right prefrontal, you will have become delusionally optimistic.

So you'll go out and buy a Rolex if you can't and become manic effectively. So it shows us that the left hemisphere is involved in positive emotion and the right is involved in negative emotion. And in fact, today, when you use things like TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulation, you might zap the left hemisphere in people with depression and make it more active and you end up with less depression.

I like that. I mean, it makes sense, right? So the right hemisphere is more emotional, big picture oriented, as you say, and it could be that it goes into this infinite loop of possibilities in this big space land where there's no way it can really get fixed. There's no anchoring, right? So that's correct.

Yeah, yeah. No, that's interesting. So I think definitely in terms of using the right hemisphere in dreams, there's got to be something there. So I'm not sure how much this has been explored in terms of the right hemisphere only. But that's definitely because dreams is so much about emotional updating and emotional creating a sense of... making sense of an emotional landscape, right?

So in dreams, for example, it's heavily populated by people, right? Right, right. REM dreams, for example. So each night you cycle through different stages of sleep, stage one, two, three, and then you have deep sleep, and then you have REM sleep, rapid eye movement sleep, where your eyes go from side to side. During this stage of sleep, you're paralyzed from head to toe.

So you have structures in the brain called the pons and medulla in the lower part of the brain that paralyzes you.
