This why I love social media. I'm able to listen to a conversation on a topic that I'm interested in. It's as if I'm sitting in the same room engaged in a conversation.

I was told by an avid follower of Carl Jung that when waking from a dream, first notice the feeling the dream expressed and then ask yourself if that’s a feeling your aren’t allowing yourself to experience in your conscious life. The purpose of our dreams is to keep us mentally balanced. Basically to keep us sane.

I'm so happy that a neurosurgeon is FINALLY talking about dreams and premonitions explaining this with science as in the past, science was too quick to dismiss dreams as fodder which is offensive to those of us who predict so many things via our dreams

I had a brain haemorrhage, eight years ago, and the dreams I had after I woke out of my coma, were surreal and reoccuring. The concepts of the dreams were like: a pile of people dead on top of me and I couldn't move or feel my body; me calling out for help and no one can hear me; me talking to someone I knew and and having them reply with, "I'm not Wendy, I'm a nurse at St George Hospital", etc. Turned out I had the haemorrhage, became paralysed(couldn't move or feel my body), calling out for help(in my coma, and no one could hear me- I was just reliving it), trying to speak to "Wendy's" better nature(turned out to be a nurse by my ear telling me she's not Wendy, she's a nurse).... Anyway, after I came to, the hospital provided a neuro-psychologist, and she said, "your brain knows your body is in danger(I had emergency brain surgery, and was swollen) and is trying to put two and two together to help you understand, but it doesn't have two and two, it has two, four, yellow, square, and fire, and it's creating stories to let you know you can't move, you can't be communicated with, and you're surrounded by strangers" it was wild. And what's weirder; two years before I had the haemorrhage, I dreamt it. I recognised the ICU scene by sound, alone, in my coma. I definitely want to be part of a dream study.

For me lucid dreaming doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a peacefulness beyond the waking life. You travel to far away places and you know you’re dreaming and flying to all kinds of places. They’re very vivid, colorful, and yet when I wake up I was energized, motivated, and felt as like I was given a gift that was priceless. I’ve never forced a lucid dream and never knew what it was until lately hearing the term. For me they’re very rare but when I get them it’s a force to be acknowledged. As the day or week or month goes on bits and pieces comes to light in your inner soul that explains parts of it but not all of it. Leaves some mystery for your soul to wonder about.

Who else can wake up from a dream to use the restroom and put themselves back into that same dream; continuing the story? I sometimes put my self back into week old dreams to continue the dream to see where the story was heading 💜

I’ve had so many lucid dreams. They’re amazing and I remember them vividly. I can also return to them. My favourite is flying because I know I can because it’s not real. Absolutely incredible feeling. I loved listening to this podcast. Super interesting.

I’ve watched this twice now, I’m just so impressed as a healthcare provider that this neurosurgeon was able to speak so that a general audience could understand. Excellent interview 🥰

5"00 "In certain diseases dreams come to the rescue." Yes, when I had cancer one dream was of a positive loop device which lit up when good news was played from or recorded into it. In another dream a healthy fattened cow told me to get well. I felt such intense love from the cow and hugged it. Both dreams gave me the message that love and positivity will help me heal.

How many lucid dreamers are watching!? I've been a lucid dreamer my whole life, and can recall vivid dreams as early as 3 almost 4 years old. In my personal experience I've regularly dealt with sleep paralysis accompanied with my dreams and as a teenager I often carried fragments of my dreams into waking consciousness like a blur between realities. I still deal with sleep paralysis but I'm able to will myself free easier and faster by shifting my head until my body wakes up. My head feels significantly heavier than usual while I'm doing this but all it takes is a firm will! As they say mind over matter. Occasionally I go through what I call "Slip-Wakings". I'm entering the sleep state and the dreaming begins to take shape, my body can sense the paralytic state taking effect and so my waking mind flares back as I'm trying to wake myself up in panic. I belive my almost automatic panicked reaction is the result of years having lucid nightmares accompanied with paralysis. During one of these episodes I had last year, at the moment when body paralysis and clear consciousness collide, instead of indulging panic and the desperate desire to wake my body back up, I decided to feel the stillness and wholeness of my body. I had the clear desire to experience flight, as I've never flown in my dreams. After connecting to my body, I started to imagine my arms flapping, and no fucking joke, the very thought sent an electrifying sensation throughout my entire body as if it had been lit up. For those of you who understand the feeling of frisson when listening to music or poetry, it was similar to that but completely magnified on a whole other level, it was electrifying and I flew as a great heron over crystal clear waters that reflected the sky like the salt flats of Brazil after spring showers. It was magical, and unlike anything I've experienced in dreams as otherworldly and complex as they are. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Thank God for KZfaq and podcast. I don't watch national TV in at least over 10 years. KZfaq is the only social media I consume.

Can you please cover the topic of Deja vu? And things or situations a person dreamt of that came true later on in life.

I fully believe that our dreams is another way to see our life in another dimension. whenever you close your eyes to dream, you view your life from a different life, like a alternate universe. This is why all dreams are different, but always have the same people in your life - dealing with different situations. Honestly this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

Whenever i set the intention before bed to lucid dream, i imagine I'm in a dream and I use the mantra "i am dreaming" over and over. I almost always lucid dream and the more i do it the easier it gets. You can quite literally lucid dream if you just set the intention before bed. I have met with my dad in my dreams to fly together. We both set the intention before bed and though our dreams were quite different, we both met with eachother and flew.

Let’s talk about the quality of jay’s questions though! He’s asking them on the spot this is impressive

I just love the way he honestly says "I can't answer that", "my opinion is" and how we need more data to get to greater insights... People sometimes don't understand that this is exactly how science is made... There's a long journey before we find clear evidence, but this is how it starts! Excellent interview! 🩷

My own experience with dreams is that they are occasionally prophetic and usually capture subtle layers of my waking life. Themes that repeat are usually me working out issues. The freedom from judgements and restrictions that my conscious self would impose on my dreams makes them healing and means i usually wake up rebalanced. In modern life we don't think about it so much, but there are plenty of things we don't understand. What does consciousness arise out of? Whatever it is - whatever it is it seems like many creatures (other animals besides humans dream too) return each night to that generative pool. Glad we are starting to pay more attention to an activity that we

This conversation is pure gold !! Best part is how humble he is about his work!! People when they really love what they do are so fascinating ❤

I just found you guys. Ive been writing my dreams for 14 years in journals, but remember dreams from when I was a child. Some lucid, some obe, other lifetimes, other planets, I'm really happy I found you guys - this ought to be interesting. I'm 59 now.

I've been controlling my dreams since I was a youngling. Im excited for dreams to have more substantial research.

I think this really debunks a lot of the extra meanings I try to add to my dreams. It’s just desire !

I've been recording and interpreting my dreams most of my life, and I have been interpreting them for others for about 20 years. It's nice to see so much of what I have gathered through my experience being reflected and in cases backed by the research mentioned here. Thank you for this episode.

Encouraging the best dreams to live up to, keep up growing habits & the leadership in everything. Best way to finish my day today by being here listening to this episode on the podcast. Keep up the great work Jay

In the beginning of May I dreamt 3 times in 14 days that my husband died. On May 29 my husband unexpectedly passed away while out of state on a month long work trip. He was 55 years old. I’m devastated. I’ve had dreams predicting things of this nature since childhood.

I had a recurring dream as a child about sick and dying babies. Mostly me having twins where one is ok, and the other is dead. I started my career as an RN in neurosurgery but was rerouted to NICU after an injury. Many times I experienced scenarios I dreamt about as a young child. Nice to look at the physical brain and what is happening in real time. A lot of dream studies about energy from previous life. Also fascinating ❤.

I’m a professional dreamer. When you fall, you can keep going to hit the ground, you’ll just fall into the next dream.

The idea that our dreaming brain could be predicting future health issues is mind-blowing! If we could detect diseases early through dreams, should this change our approach to medical screenings and healthcare?

I dreamt about you Jay Shetty the day before I subscribed. I saw you before I even knew who or what you did for your occupation. Your name was displayed under your image that wasn't clear. I lost my phone the week previously without connection to social media, and when I could return to the internet to search your name I saw your Poscast on my feed. Thank you so much for this information I dream after I pray sometimes. Thank you Jay Shetty your contributions on your channel have been very helpful and healing for me during this particular time in my life which has been very difficult. I have compassion for all during these times and have a very strong bond with the higher powers of love & light, astral. I am a much better person after finding your Podcast thank you. May you continue to overcome your own obstacles and continue to heal humanity🙏🏼You and your guests are always in my prayers thank you for helping me as you have through some very difficult trials and deliberate agendas in toxic contracts unwillingly. I rely on the Higher Powers fully to guide me. May Yashuah continue to guide us all through our lives,purposes & dreams. Have a blessed day all, guys💯

I fell asleep to this video and dreamed vividly about my ex gf who betrayed me last year. I still can't get over it. In the dream, she extended her smear campaign to social media, and I was devastated. I just woke up at 3am and am trying to digest the emotions I just felt.

This was needed and so good! As a person of Christian beliefs who dreams a lot, I needed the scientific background about the brain coupled with my religious studies. ❤

Yes, lucid dream experience usually takes place around 4am and 6am. I remember my first lucid dream experience. I usually write down all lucid dream experience. I only started to have lucid dream experience because i was interested in them i thought it was all alot of bullcrap but i was wrong. Lucid dream are real. You can experience it if you desire them and the more you read and listen to podcast talking about the topic the greater chance you have to experience one for yourself.

My God, this man is so intelligent... both of them. This was wonderful

This entire conversation was absolutely wonderful! I am in awe of dr. Rahul’s fine etiquette elucidation of dreams as a doctor and how he explains it scientifically and philosophically. Not to mention his humbling way of interacting with Jay. Other drs. Or professionals tend to speak with a certain finesse sense of ego and I can normally catch it with their body language mainly. dr. Rahul it’s so common and relaxed when speaking that I’m actually drawn to this conversation with such fascination. Normally, I get bored and tired of hearing about these things are fascination to me seeing as I am a stroke and an emergency brain surgery survivor. So obviously the brain really fascinates me, especially with because I still remember the dream that I had while I was medically induced in a coma.. or at least I think it was during the coma or perhaps the surgery if we can still dream during that… would love to ask him that question. But overall, I thank you for making this video and sharing it with us, I would have loved to have heard more about the predictions and premonitions of them after dreaming. There was one I am specifically interested in learning and understanding.

WOW .... What a beautiful man this Dr. Rahul Jandial is🥰

Jay during this interview the entire time i kept thinking you were speaking to someone different because of his voice. Let me throw this name at ya... Mathew McConaughey? His voice is so similar. It had me checking the screen. His passion for this subject was authentic and interesting. Thanks for having this subject. Very unique and inspiring!

I’ve always been fascinated with dreams so much so that I wanted to have a dream expert do a study on me. I noticed that I get the most vivid/intense and emotional dreams when I fall asleep on my back. I’ve always wondered if the sleep position has an effect on your dreams??

Fascinating discussion, thank you both. I too have experienced lucid dreaming, not all the time, but every now and then. I dream a lot, sometimes remembering many details and other times, the dream is lost minutes after awakening. Emotional dreams seem to stay with me longer.

I usually get creative at the sleep entry/sleep exit zone, for years I’ve been wondering why but thankfully I watched this video, my final conclusion is that these are zones where the rational and creative parts of our brains meet and intertwine with subtle control on our behalf.

So good! Thank you!❤️ Briefly, I was having some dreams of scary images. I spent a little time thinking about the unsettling images but didn't have time to invest, so I tried lucid dreaming. I went to sleep thinking about the images and turned them into one-dimensional, like a photo on paper. Then I saw myself lighting the piece of paper and the image bursting into flames; then embers drifted softly onto the ground as I went on my way to do something fun like row my boat. Lol Our minds are so powerful.

Outstanding Rahul, and Jay. Thank you for those final five. They were beautiful.

My ex boyfriend was murdered in 2012 and it was the hardest thing in my life I had to go through. I used to dream of him kind of often and in those dreams, I would always be the only one who wasn’t aware that he was still alive. I was confused to why people were acting like it was totally normal. Recently, when he came to visit me in my dreams, it wasn’t like that anymore and it was just happiness. I’d love any come back about my dreams.

It’s quite fascinating the part where Dr. Rahul Jandial talks about our ability to rescript dreams via imagery rehearsal therapy👍

I believe me and my daughter are connected telepathically so sometimes I can try to communicate her while we are sleeping and dreaming and sometimes she lets my thoughts crossover to her but sometimes she shuts them down by verbally saying out loud “no mommy” she’s 3 and I’m 25

My soul Flys free in my dreams to multiple universe's. Lucid dreaming ❤

My dreams feel as real as if I was awake. Except for the confusion of being at many places at any given time. I can feel, smell, touch, and even my conversations in a dream are pretty straightforward. Just 2 nights ago I had a conversation in my dream with my ex's sister. Even telling her in my dream that I dreamt we had this conversation. When I woke up, I was confused about what really happened. Then I snapped out of it, realizing it was a dream. I have also dreamt about my loved ones who have passed on another world in the universe. Days later I see similar planets that have just been discovered on KZfaq with stunning detail to my dream. It's weird feeling to wake up from a dream, to think it was real life. Welllll, what is real life?

As someone that dreams daily and can almost remember them everytime I awake.. Definitely need to discuss mine with a pro.

Profound insights. Thank you for this interview!

Carl Jung did extensive work with the psyche of dreams and had deep meaning and symbolism for the person in their lives

Is there anyone else that when you are dreaming you wake up and then go back to sleep and continue the dream.

I'm so into this topic, coz I dream so much. My mom believes that she has a deep connection with my great great grandma, and sometimes she has dreams that come true

My dream life is so important to me. I’ve been recording my dreams for over 20 years now and want to compile them all in a book at some point. I also find it easy now to see what they are about and how they relate to what’s going on in my life. I also have had many dreams that have come true ie. Been precognitive in nature. As well as having some extremely scary , spiritual, deep dreams that have led to me questioning reality as well as lucid dreams. Anyway great. More people should look at their dream lives with more importance.

Really enjoy this talk. Just got the audiobook. 🎉 I have premonition dreams once in a while. Usually to protect me from a negative event. I can recognize it when is happening so I get out of the scenario to a space i can be alone to remember everything and prevent as much as I can the "disaster". Alcohol and sugar reduce my ability to remember my dreams.

Only 9 min into the video and i love the animated discussion. I love dreaming is like HIIT training for the brain. Looking forward to absorbing the material in this interview ❤

I dream almost every night. It’s like I have another night life. When I try to describe them to my husband, it takes me hours. My dreams go through places over and again, same houses in different stages, and always places I’m forbidden to go. I also know that if I go off the property of the place, I won’t find my way back. And yes, I’m exhausted when I wake up.

I once was tired with my life I wanted to live my youth again to rewrite time. I had once lucid dream where I can turn back time and live my life when I were in college. It was so good it felt real.

I was able to find my lost thing in a dream. I was amazed to find that I had kept it in a very unusual place and that only my dream could have made me reach it. Anyone else ever experienced the same?

Thank you immensely, this video is what I was subconsciously really waiting for. God bless!

Hello Jay, just watched this last night 7/19 and boy oh boy it's as though the Universe said "here ya go" everything you've been asking in regards to not only dreams but other dimensions in which I visit during sleep consciousness ❤ last night I set an intention to sleep all night and to wake up refreshed and YES indeed it happened. I set another intention to remember my dreams and indeed it happened. I received a visit from an ex boyfriend who is passed! Just beautiful! Thank you for this amazing insight 😊❤

Just before falling to sleep you can ask to dream about something specific. I once asked to dream that I was in the casino and see the next winning bet and the betting amount on the roulette wheel. That night I had the following dream. I was in a casino at a roulette table and i had a bet of 10$ on the line between 17 and 18. When I woke up I remembered the dream and was pretty excited.That night I went to the local casino. I bought 10$ of chips and placed the bet and left the table for the restroom. When I got back, I had won 175$. Litterally making money in my sleep. Predicting the future too. Your welcome.

I do remember many of my dreams and can, pretty frequently, can go back to sleep and continue my dreams. However, I can't once recall a dream where I had teeth falling out, yet you speak like it's uber common.

I love that interview.. it’s amazing to have more knowledge.. I had warnings dreams .. I knew I’m dreaming ,. My grandma ( who died years before ) she came into my dream and told me to watch my daughter around the shop .. and next day happened at the shop . I won’t talk much about it right now just wanna say thank God I had that dream Two years ago I had lots of drama around my life and my kids and my dad ( died too year before ) he came into my dream to calm me down and answer my questions .. I had few more warring dreams and all happened as they showed.. I remember dream almost every day . Have very emotional dreams many times . The worst I do remember is about my kids death .. we in the middle of Europe believe if U dream about someone’s death and they still alive means they will live a long life .. I really wanna believe its true 😅 thank U for so interesting interview

As someone who smokes green on the daily, my dreams vary from not remember to having very intense & deep dreams that continue on even if I wake up. I think it depends on the person 😊

With regards to his response about reconciliation dreams… if we can be trained to have lucid dreams and, as I understand them based on my limited research and personal experience, we can alter a dream while in that state, then it would be safe to say we can train ourselves to have dreams of forgiveness and reconciliation. Just my thoughts to add to the convo.

He was absolutely amazing. Gratitude for this video🙏🏽

After watching Cinderella as a child, i developed a fear that if I had a dream 3x it would come true. I had this reoccuring dream that the jolly green giant from the green bean can would come and step on my home. That made me convinced it would happen 😂.

I don't seem to dream for years now. I can only remember 2nor 3 of a dream or know if I dream. I don't remember dreams, even if I have dreamed unconditionally.

Thanks so much for this conversation, it’s brought some great insights on future navigation of dreaming. My previous mindset about meanings of dreams was heavily influenced by superstitions. On another note, I have been using a meditation app that has a deep sleep function. When I sleep to that music, my dreams are vividly wild and I remember them after waking.

Came here from the other interview because it was hard to get for me, glad I can understand it better here.And the video even have topic pointers which is great.

Dr. Estes (Women who run with the wolves book and others) has shared all this long ago about dreams. She is a Jungian psychoanalyst and storyteller/healer. If you have not read her book, it would be helpful to you on many levels.

Another good one is What dreams may come- my all time favorite

I’d love to hear Dr. Jandial talk about conscious dreams.

Amazing!! Ive have vivid fantastic lucid and recurrent good and bad dreams aall my life!!

I tasted the most delicious peanut sauce and the sweetest coconut cocktail in two separate dreams years apart. These two dreams stood out because i realised my taste buds exploded in its breadth of sensory palate while dreaming. There was another dream where my chest was itchy and i spent the whole dream scratching my chest for relief. The sensory feeling in the skin felt really authentic. I wonder if anyone else has expanded sensory feelings besides sight, sound and emotions in their dreams?

It only has happen once. I once close my eyes around 10pm and went straight to lucid dream than i woke up at 10.30pm only 30 minutes sleep

What about "waking dreaming" ? I am a member of the Cherokee tribe, and I practice waking dreaming and it is incredibly powerful. I am not sure if there is a difference between waking dreaming and certain types of meditation. There are so many different ways to meditate.

I am always running and hiding in my dreams, why? Maybe I was a thief in my past life.

Fantastic podcast, an intelligent discussion with his scientific background together with humbleness and simple explanations. Also that he’s very good looking with a lovely voice adds to the enjoyment. Thanks 🙏

I tend to catch myself crying (feeling tears and hearing a loud cry) talking (having conversation, moreso I'm the observer) and laughing out loud during some dreams. I felt myself ball up while falling to my knees crying in the dream

1:38:47 I absolutely loved this podcast. I love the dreamworld! I hit the bottom when I fall in dreams and it will repeat over and over each fall resulting in a different pain and/or injury, yet the start of the dream is always the same. I’ve found this extremely intriguing. I’ve also astral travelled since childhood however, can’t induce them as the fear consumes me. The vibrational frequencies are far too strong for me to endure when I drop into that state. Recently my dreams have taken a dark turn. I was putting it down to being in emergency housing which retains a lot of trauma throughout the complex both from residual energy from previous tenants and fresh pain, violence, prostitution and so on which is really hard to bear, especially as I’ve not personally been around such darkness…..I started dreaming of being set on fire and not able to escape my flat. I’ve only dreamed of fire when I was pregnant and no affiliation with issues of fire, although I find fire in general quite relaxing. I always wished as a child to one day, record my dreams and have journaled many times over the years, studied Carl Jung, read many books and articles….fascinating stuff. Thank you for sharing this podcast. I throughly enjoyed the insight, observations, research and general discussions. “Systemic resilience-what you bring to the fight Processive resilience-what the fight brings out in you” I feel elevated after this session, honestly I feel honoured 🦋

first❤ thank you for another interesting episode!

I have epilepsy, and my aura (feeling just before having a seizure) feels like my brain is being quickly pulled into a very familiar dream that’s happening in that moment. My seizures are not convulsive. I don’t remember, but I’ve heard that I stare at what’s around me like I’ve never seen trees or walls before. A few minutes later, I’m still unaware, but I can function somewhat. After 30 minutes or so, I start to come out of it. When I regain awareness, I realize I’m wearing two different shoes or maybe I’m drinking my coffee black. Dreaming is incredibly spiritual to me. I feel it’s where me and my non physical spirit meet up. My epilepsy is an open door.

When he brought up black and white dreams it made sense. Growing up one of my fourth grade teachers would show us Charlie Chaplin films in lunch. I became so obsessed with them that anytime he had any I would go and watch them with my teacher. As an adult I still dream in black and white, it’s very rare when I dream in color 😭😭

I believe when I am distressed I have positive dreams to OFFSET IT & keep my mental health well. The body is compensating to maintain homeostasis.

I've experienced dreams as early as the next day to almost a year before it came to pass in the physical. Once it's happened I reference back to the dream. I keep a dream book.

I think dreaming about being naked, could mean that you might feel exposed by something. Or seeing someone else naked in your dream, might mean you feel like something about that person is made apparent to you that you didn’t see before.

I have had at least one nightmare every night since I could remember, most days I have about 5 nightmares and wake up very confused every day. I'm excited to try some of the things Dr. Jandial has mentioned, hopefully it helps me sleep better. Any other tips highly appreciated!

Congratulations on you 3M sub family 🔥🔥

I'm glad I found this video! Great interview that I think a lot of people have curiosity about on this topic. For the last 5 questions and the answers that were given, I 100% agree with.

19:05 sleep entry 38:56 Unwanted recurring dream Sleep exit dont reach to your phone in the morning

I had a dream my father put on large brown pants and suspenders with a bowl hat and painted his nose red like a hobo. In my dream he said, “This is my choice, I don’t want responsibility.” My Dad had never been on the streets but a couple years later he was homeless due to alcoholism and I believe the dream was given to me to help me prepare my heart and cope.

I have a lot of dreams of past loved ones. What about visitation from past loved ones I was hoping that he would have touched on that.

I love conversations like these! I had a dream once that lasted the span of 2 weeks in my mind , and the Second longest one I had involved plane trips to and from Thailand. anybody else have long time span dreams?

Love your video, Jay Shetty

Great topic, my feeling is he remains on a superficial level. If you read C G Jung you feel how dreams express deep cultural wisdom and archetypical knowledge across all cultures, regardless of them having been in contact. Freud examined how dreams manage to circumvent the censorship of the mind in a funny way and provided lots of examples. Fascinating topic.

Thanks for the interview- what about futuristic dreams that come true or a person wakes up and goes back to sleep and continue the same dream? Thanks

Wow extremely impressive thank you for adding value to both of you !

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” was rightly said by Benjamin Franklin and Jay Shetty’s amazing podcast is our Bank of knowledge and wisdom . You’re INCREDIBLE JAY ! 😇🙏💙

Nightmares are individual. When I was a child, in my own room, I would dream about having a bunk bed; a "dracula" would attack me in the top bunk. It also overlaid with parts of my childhood town. I had it repeatedly, and finally, I told my Mom. She said, "If you can figure out that you're in a dream and not wake up too much, kill the dracula/vampire. How do you kill it?" I answered, "Garlic but that's just fluff. It will irritate him like it would anyone, but not kill him." She said, "How do you kill him?" I said, "A stake?" She said, "Try that." The next time I had the nightmare, I awoke myself enough, but not too much. I stabbed it in the heart with a stake. I never had that nightmare again. I did think about it when I had recurring nightmares. I awakened myself just enough to deal with the issue. Then, I fell back into full slumber. Thank you, Mom!! Dreams are everything they have discussed. They are also adjustable if we can wake up *just enough*. "try not to be too rigid. Try to be open minded." ... "Lucid dreaming.. in control."

I’d like to see you interview Dr. Umar Johnson

This is crazy timing for thid episode to come out since I have the weirdest craziest dream and sleep ever this month
