The Mind, Explained • S01E02 • 2019

Each night, the songs get looser, and each day,
they're tightened back up until a unique, clear melody emerges
from the chatter. [warbling] Something similar may happen in humans. When we're in that hazy dream-state,
unbound by reason or consequences, it might be the perfect time
to lay the groundwork for insights and breakthroughs. I think in REM sleep, the brain is creating dreams
that are not designed to settle on a single answer, but to help us realize all the possible
answers that are out there

Each night, the songs get looser,

00:00:03.087 --> 00:00:05.047

and each day, they're tightened back up

00:00:05.013 --> 00:00:08.592

until a unique, clear melody emerges from the chatter.

00:00:09.055 --> 00:00:11.998

[warbling]

00:00:12.721 --> 00:00:15.307

Something similar may happen in humans.

00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:19.561

When we're in that hazy dream-state, unbound by reason or consequences,

00:00:19.645 --> 00:00:21.855

it might be the perfect time to lay the groundwork

00:00:21.939 --> 00:00:23.816

for insights and breakthroughs.

00:00:24.358 --> 00:00:25.442

I think in REM sleep,

00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:29.238

the brain is creating dreams that are not designed

00:00:29.321 --> 00:00:31.698

to settle on a single answer,

00:00:31.782 --> 00:00:35.869

but to help us realize all the possible answers that are out there.
