Today’s episode will change how you think about your dreams and your entire life. Do you ever wake up from a dream and wonder: What did that mean? Or maybe you’ve had a nightmare and asked yourself: Why did I dream that? Could I stop it? Is my brain trying to tell me something? Maybe you keep having the same dream over and over again. Or maybe you’re the person who says, “I don’t dream.” According to today’s expert, you’re wrong. We all dream. And once you understand what your brain is doing while you’re dreaming, you’ll never think about sleep, your mind, or what’s possible in the same way again. Today, for the very first time on the show, Mel is diving deep into the science of dreaming, nightmares, what your dreams mean, what they’re trying to tell you, and more importantly, how to harness your dreams to unlock the full power of your mind.
