I Wondered Why We Have Dreams. Here's What I Found | Darkology #30

Dreams have long been a subject of great curiosity throughout our existence. I've often wondered why we have dreams and I decided to see what could be learned from the question: why do we dream? Why do we have nightmares? Do they mean anything? And if so, what?

In my exploration, I learned of oneirology- the study of dreaming through REM and NREM, as well as how it might relate to the practice of dream interpretation, lucid dreaming, and the philosophies of folks like Hippocrates and Aristotle. Psychoanalysts, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung also came up a lot- their understanding of the human psyche, it's various depths of personality, and their theories surrounding the unconscious mind seemed to only reveal a deeper mystery.

This week's Darkology is about dreams, exploring the mystery of lucid dreaming, REM, as well as the unconscious mind.
