The REAL Reason You Dream Every Night (Science Backed)

About this video

Every night when you fall asleep, you become clinically psychotic. That is the claim from Dr. Matthew Walker, Professor of Neuroscience at UC Berkeley and one of the world's leading sleep experts. Before you reject the diagnosis, he presents five reasons. First, you start seeing things that are not there. You are hallucinating. Second, you believe things that could not possibly be true. You are delusional. Third, you become confused about time, place, and person. You are disoriented. Fourth, your emotions swing wildly from one extreme to another. You are emotionally labile. And fifth, you wake up and forget most or all of it. You are suffering from amnesia. If you experienced any one of those five symptoms while awake, you would seek psychological help. But during REM sleep, it is a normal biological and psychological process.
