Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. And today we are going to talk about why we dream.

00:05

What's going on inside our brains?

00:07

The scientific study of dreaming is called oneriology.

00:11

00:14

because you can't hold a dream.

You can actually see this happening if you watch people sleep like I usually do.

01:07

During REM sleep, some pretty bizarre stuff happens.
