“I don't think the dreaming brain is trying to give out conscious mind some sort of message.”

“So it looks when we're in REM sleep, the emotional brain is cranked up and the reasoning brain is cranked down.”

“We can boost the confidence in a false memory by confirming it or at least repeating it multiple times.”

“When you let your mind wander, you switch back and forth all the time, remembering and imagining. Your mind is a time machine.”

“The more that you can associate things you want to remember with structures you already have in your mind, the easier it's going to be to remember.”

“Memories are also connected to a sense of place.”

“Even our most significant memories, the ones that form the foundation of our life story, aren't perfect recordings.”
