And the other stuff that's floating around that I was thinking about during the day, where's that?

Where do I do with that?

How do I process that?

So dreams are,

You're witnessing your brain rewiring itself, speaking to itself in its native language of ideas and metaphors and concepts and feelings and how they relate to each other without rules.

And so that's why all the stages are important.

And in stage two, that's not happening.

But in stage two, it's happening.

It's a lot of the recovery and repair stuff is also happening.

Because in REM, your brain's active doing this stuff.

And in deep sleep, your brain's also active doing this other stuff.

And in stage two is when everything else gets to happen.

Um, in a, in a more particular, so like all the stages are important.

You cycle through them and it's about every 90 minutes.

Anyone can Google that, but it's not exact.

It's they're different across the night.

Um, and that's also why it's easier to wake up out of stage two and REM than deep sleep.

And so if you woke up and you remember a dream, it's because you woke up at a REM.

That's all.

That's all that means.
