Scientists talk to people in their sleep
We dive into some mindblowing research scientists have been doing in the field of lucid dreaming. They’ve actually spoken to people in their sleep, even asking them to solve complex mathematical problems, and those people have responded. It’s a bit like the real life version of that movie Inception, where Leonardo DiCaprio entered into other people’s dreams and interacted with them. We're joined by Ken Paller, professor of psychology and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Program at Northwestern University. Scientists think being able to communicate with people while they’re having a lucid dream has incredible potential, like helping people with PTSD overcome trauma as well as allowing elite athletes and performers to practice doing complex skills.
