Understand and Use Dreams to Learn and Forget

This episode is all about the two major kinds of dreams and the
sorts of learning and unlearning they are used for. I discuss
REM-associated dreams that control emotional learning and their
similarity to various trauma treatments such as ketamine and EMDR.
I also discuss Non-REM dreams and their role in motor learning and
learning of detailed, non-emotionally-laden information. I relate
this to science-backed tools for accessing more of the types of
sleep and learning people may want. Other topics are listed in the
time stamps below. Read the full show notes for this episode at
