Why Do You Dream?

Every night, your brain does something that should be impossible. It builds an entire world — with its own streets, its own rules, its own version of you — and then makes absolutely sure you can't move while you're inside it. Most people think dreams are random noise. Or secret messages. Or nothing at all. All three are wrong. You spend around six full years of your life inside worlds your brain constructed while you slept. In this video, you'll find out exactly why — from the ancient threat-simulation system your ancestors depended on to survive the dark, to the overnight editor that quietly reduces the cost of everything that hurt you this week, to the strangest fact of all: every feature of dreaming that feels broken is actually the system working exactly as designed.
