To put it shortly, like if I have an encounter with a serial killer in my dream and I sort of overcome that, I'm not killed by it, right, by that serial killer. I can navigate that situation in an appropriate manner. I'm more likely to survive in real life.

So it shows you that dreams has a lot to do with survival and training the circuits in the brain, making them solidify the ones that can help me survive more. So that's a huge opportunity.

And that's a good point. So the fact is that, you know, when you dream, your brain takes you on this exploration, right? And it looks at various social scenarios, for example, that evoke emotions in you. So it takes, you know, Dr. Peterson and put him in a room with... with Kim and Joe and see how he reacts.

If the reaction is not an emotionally evocative one, it will literally take you and show you another scenario until it hits on a scene that evokes your emotion, that gets you riled up, and then it explores that.

It has to have that element, and then it will go down that path more and explore it more. It'll say, this is interesting.

Not necessarily. So it does, there's a huge dopaminergic aspects to dreams. So it's been shown that if you have a lesion to a part of the brain, the inferior parietal lobule, again, it's a region just below the superior parietal lobule, it's involved in creating images, but also it's, so if you have a stroke there, for example, you won't dream or the mesolimbic dopamine centers,

This is a fancy name for the part of the brain where you have dopamine going to the prefrontal cortex. If you have a lesion there, you won't dream as well. So bliss and dopamine, as well as images, is involved deeply in... Okay, so it's emotional intensity and valence. Intensity valence, yeah.
