Dreams: why am I conscious of them and not conscious at other times?
I can recall very vivid dreams from when I was five years old. In general I have always had mostly scary dreams that I would rather not be aware of while in that state (traumatic childhood maybe or genetic, I don't know, my father was also prone to nightmares where he would cry out in the middle of the night). During college I used to take 15 minute power naps, but after recurring nightmares of being stuck in slow-motion falling elevators and then trying to force myself awake only into another nightmare, I had to stop taking naps. Most nights I don't know when I'm dreaming. However, lately I have been conscious of my dreams every night for the past week or so, every single night. I sleep regularly as much as possible (although daylight savings really messed me up this year), finish eating at the same time almost every night, get the same amount of sleep, etc. If ever there was a switch to shut off awareness to nightmares, I'd love to know.
Why I feel grateful and protein folding
Your podcast coupled with my own personal dedication and consistency has me happy and feeling better than I ever have. I’ve developed healthy habits that will stick with me for my lifetime. Please keep the content coming and thank you for the positive impact you have had on my life and life span. My question Eng3 and the NanoVi. I added it to my bedtime routine in October. I box breath in it while stacking PEMF, sleep and recovery is improved. You have informed me the box breathing alone could be where I’m seeing improved recovery. The science check out on this 14k machine?
Why we feel disappointment
Andrew, I have experienced such a deep disappointment reading the article about how you have treated your women. Although you are not the first and far not the last person, famous or not, to do that, I wonder if there is an explanation why this particular case hurts so much. Can you give me an explanation why this remote and one-sided “relationship” of me as an avid listener and appreciator of your professional work and you as a professional podcaster crumbles in light of the knowledge of your wrongdoings? You haven’t done anything bad to me personally, but yet I truly feel so sad. Also please explain what makes it so impossible for guys who cheat to use protection? And finally, after all, can you do an episode fully on cheating - what drives people to cheat, how they do it, how they explain it to themselves, how they live with that, and what happens next? You probably know better what to include into this episode.. Thank you.
Neurofeedback and Neurotherapy
As an expert in health and the brain, I'm interested in your perspective on neurofeedback and neurotherapy. I understand that there has been a significant amount of skepticism surrounding these techniques over the years. However, after decades of research and application, there appears to be a growing body of evidence suggesting that neurofeedback and neurotherapy can be effective for various conditions. At the same time, I recognize that not all modalities within these fields are the same, and some may work better or differently than others. Given the complex nature of this topic, could you please share your insights on the current state of neurofeedback and neurotherapy?
