Dreaming, daydreaming and creativity

Once humans started daydreaming they could creatively solve problems in their imagination, ask abstract questions and generate complex language with a past, present and future tense. This had profound implications, not least for our mental health.

Excellent and very informative , I can't wait to move onto the next course now, so glad I was recommended this site.

This fascinating talk about what followed on from the ‘brain’s big bang’ 40,000 years ago – when our ancestors learned how to consciously access the internal reality theatre of the dreaming brain and ‘daydream’ consciously – was filmed with students on the Human Givens Diploma course.

Very interesting and thought provoking ideas.
