462: The Power of Dreams with Charlie Morley

The Power of Dreamswith Charlie Morley ------------------- Did you know that you have four-to-six dream cycles per night totaling about two hours? If you’re like me, you almost never remember your dreams - and certainly not two hours worth. But does it matter? Are they important? Yes, dreaming is adaptive. Just as your body recovers while you sleep, your brain uses dream states to consolidate memory, learn from experiences, and process emotions.
