In this thoughtful and funny second episode, Roxie explores one of the most mysterious questions in science and everyday life — why we dream. Blending humor, personal stories, and real research, she takes listeners on a guided tour through what happens in our brains while we sleep.
Roxie breaks down what dreams are, when they occur (REM vs. non-REM sleep), and the leading scientific theories that try to explain them — from memory consolidation and emotional processing to random neural noise and threat simulation. She also touches on how dreams might help with creativity, social rehearsal, and emotional healing.
Listeners get a mix of neuroscience, psychology, and relatable storytelling — including a hilarious dream about croissant-shaped celebrities and a few listener submissions that show just how bizarre our minds can be.
Roxie also gives practical insights:
How to start a dream journal
What affects dream recall
The truth about lucid dreaming and nightmares
How medications and emotions can change dream patterns
By the end, she wraps it all up with a reminder that dreams are the brain’s overnight workshop — a mix of memory, emotion, creativity, and chaos — and worth paying attention to, even when they’re weird.
💭 “Dreams are how the brain stays curious — even while we sleep.”
