"The dreaming brain is hyper emotional and hyper visual with dampened logic. It also locks down your body so you're temporarily paralyzed so the dreaming brain can let loose, be emotional, be wild." - Dr. Rahul Jandial

Neuroscientist Dr. Rahul Jandial takes us on a fascinating journey through the mysterious world of sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. He explains the science behind those terrifying moments when you wake up unable to move—a phenomenon experienced by one-third of people worldwide. With remarkable clarity, Dr. Jandial breaks down how our brains transition between waking and dreaming states, revealing why these transitions sometimes overlap and create experiences so profound they've inspired cultural myths across civilizations.

Delving deeper into the neuroscience of dreams, Dr. Jandial explores how our dreaming brain becomes hyper-emotional and hyper-visual while dampening logic. He unpacks the fascinating chemical processes that temporarily paralyze our bodies during sleep and how the misalignment between mind awakening and body releasing can create extraordinary experiences. Whether you've experienced sleep paralysis yourself or are curious about harnessing the power of lucid dreaming, this conversation offers invaluable insights into the complex relationship between your waking and dreaming consciousness.
