Key takeaways

• Our dreams reflect our emotional state and mental health. Dreams can be used as a tool for processing emotions and gaining self-insight.

•  Having good “sleep hygiene” habits leads to better quality sleep and more meaningful dreams. 

•  Vivid, intense dreams often correlate with lighter stages of sleep. Dreaming helps solidify and retain memories, so those who dream more may have a better memory.

•  Lack of dreaming can indicate sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality. Most people dream 4-6 times per night but don’t always remember their dreams.

•  Sleep paralysis often involves disturbing dream imagery and hallucinations upon waking or falling asleep. These episodes tend to diminish as we age.

•  Nightmares are often a response to stress, trauma, or anxiety. They can become problematic if frequent or significantly distressing.

Memorable Quote: “The first place [to start improving sleep] is to wear blue light-blocking glasses for 2 hours for a bed and reduce your exposure to all artificial lights at least 2 hours before bed.”
