What Did Ancient Humans Actually Dream About?

Last night, you dreamed. You shook it off in thirty seconds and moved on with your day. But your ancestor dreamed something eerily similar forty thousand years ago — and they didn't shake it off. They built entire civilizations around it. In this video, you'll discover what ancient humans actually dreamed about — and why the answer reveals something deeply strange about your own mind. You'll learn why universal dream themes like falling, being chased, and the dead returning appear in every culture across human history, what neuroscience and anthropology say about why your sleeping brain runs the same programs it has for forty millennia, and why your nervous system still hasn't fully accepted that dreams are meaningless.
