In this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of dreams. Ever wondered what exactly dreams are or why we have them? We’ll break down what science says about the purpose of dreams, how they’re connected to different sleep stages, and whether we actually dream every night (spoiler: we do!).

We’ll also explore the meanings behind some of the most common dream themes, from falling and being chased to those weirdly specific ones like losing your teeth or showing up naked in public. Join us as we unpack these dream mysteries and discuss what they might reveal about our minds and emotions.
