[00:00:00]You just had the most vivid dream of your life. [music] It's already gone.

[00:00:04]Not fading, gone.

[00:00:06]The moment you woke up, your brain erased it on purpose.

[00:00:11]During REM sleep, your brain shuts off norepinephrine, the chemical you need [music] to form memories.

[00:00:16]So, everything that happens in your dreams can't be recorded.

[00:00:20]Your brain [music] is literally incapable of remembering them.

[00:00:24]The dreams that feel most real, the ones you desperately try to hold on to, gone in seconds.

[00:00:31]Every single [music] night.
