About this episode

Have you ever woken up from a vivid dream and wondered about its meaning? Or perhaps questioned the purpose of dreaming altogether?


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today's clip is from episode 458 of the podcast with one of the world’s leading neurosurgeons and author of ‘This is Why You Dream’, Dr Rahul Jandial.


Rahul’s belief is that we sleep in order to dream. In this clip, we explore why we dream and what our sleeping brain reveals about our waking life.
