You can't have thought without emotion.
But I think the newest part of our brain is this area that if we injure it in surgery, not an oops moment, but like a risk of the surgery built in or tumors there or injuries there, people have a hard time creating a narrative about their life.
And they have a hard time finding meaning because they can't sort of frame it the right way.
So I think imagery rehearsal therapy works on nightmares because when people are going through a difficult time, they have to really tell themselves a different story about their own life.
That's my opinion.
And I think there's some pieces that are suggestive of that.
The dreams are not completely random because you can go to the bathroom and wake up and you can slip back in your dream.
You can have recurrent nightmares.
You can electrically stimulate the surface of the brain and have an old nightmare pop up in the operating room.
But more, just like when I was talking to my sons, I was like, almost everybody had nightmares a couple of thousand years ago.
Almost everybody had erotic dreams a couple of thousand years ago.
About two thirds of people are falling or flying.
About one third have teeth falling out.
Not right now, but before TVs, before the horse and buggy, like before fire, our ancestors.
So there's a similar pattern of dreaming that's built in despite how much our world has changed.
That's the simplest way for me to say that that design is built in.
And so dreams are happening to us, but we're also feeding the content of the dreams.
That's not unlike our waking brain.
We're navigating life.
We're outward.
