  • Episode 4: Time in Dreams
    Dec 17 2024

    Have you ever wondered why time feels so different in dreams? In this episode of Time in Dreams, we explore the fascinating phenomenon of time distortion within dreams and altered states of consciousness. Discover the science behind REM sleep, brain activity, and how research reveals the surprising duration of dreams.

    We delve into the neuroscience of time perception and examine the philosophical perspectives of Freud and Jung on the connection between dreams, memory consolidation, and the unconscious mind. The discussion further expands to altered states such as meditation and psychedelic experiences, where time seems to stretch, contract, or even dissolve completely.

    If you’ve ever experienced time moving differently while dreaming or meditating, this episode will encourage you to reflect on your own perceptions of dream-time versus waking time. Join us as we uncover the mysteries of the mind and explore how time in dreams shapes our understanding of reality.

    Perfect for listeners interested in dream studies, neuroscience, psychology, and altered states of consciousness.
