Hank Green discusses several dream theories, but I find the Activation-Synthesis Theory particularly compelling. It posits that dreams are the brain's way of making sense of random neural activity during sleep, which aligns with the neurological understanding of how our brains process information and emotions. This theory emphasizes the brain's role in creating meaning, suggesting that dreams may not just be random but could reflect our subconscious thoughts and experiences.
