I love sleep (as a subject of study and to experience it). It’s such a fascinating topic and has so many important functions in our body! As a pediatrician it’s one of the things that I am constantly reminding parents and children and explaining the why.
Thanks for the piece and welcomed the shift as well!
Well said - dreams are a beautiful mystery, filled with wonder and I’m grateful to the scientists and explorers who have dedicated themselves to learning about this under-appreciated state of consciousness!
You dismiss the psychodynamic theory of dreams as not evidence-based but present no evidence for the more materialist theories you say are more favored by scientists. This looks like bias to me. I'm very interested in what would constitute evidence in this inquiry.
