Course Description

From the moment we close our eyes in the evening, until we open them again in the morning… we enter a fascinating world of endless possibilities… and most of us are hardly aware of it.

We sleep every night, of course. I mean, we need to rest, right? But did you know that quality sleep is by far the number one condition for a good functioning brain. Sleep function evolves over time, from childhood to our golden age, but at any stage it is THE critical factor for our overall health, and brain health in particular. So yes, we’re going to talk about that in this course,

but there’s more….


Sweet Dreams

Every night we are creating our own virtual reality through our dreams. We are immersed in the most unlikely scenarios. But what does it all mean? Most of us just ignores them, but what if we dream for a reason. What if those dreams are trying to tell us something. At least… some of them. And how can we know? Well, we’re going to cover that as well.

And we’re going even further.


Take control

What if I told you it is possible to use your dreams to your advantage. To harness their creative potential and use it for problem solving in the real world, when you’re awake.

What if I told you, it is even possible to wake up within your dreams and become aware you’re dreaming, and from there onward take control of everything that happens in your dream. Flying around like superman, time-travel, teleportation. It’s all possible and everybody can do it. And I’m going to show you how.

But even better than that, you can use your dreams as a virtual reality playground where you can rehearse and prepare yourself for situations in the real world, and become better at skills you need to develop.


Neuroscience

As always with the Brain Academy, everything we will see in this course is based on Scientific research and facts. For centuries it was extremely hard to study sleep. But that completely changed with the advances in neuro-imaging technology. The discoveries made these last 10 to 15 years completely changed our understanding of how sleep works and why we sleep.

In this course, I’m sharing it all with you. The studies, the research, but more importantly, how to use this in your own life with simple tips to improve your sleep quality, and simple methods to take control of your dreams and use their creative power. There’s a whole set of practical exercises for you to try out. To take the theory and turn it into action.


Action

So if you want to explore what happens at night between your ears

If you want to understand what those dreams about failing an exam, walking around naked or your ex are all about?

If you want to learn how to take control and become the director of your own dreams…

You know what you have to do.

for some reason, the video keeps getting stuck for a few seconds or more and then starting again. it has been happening since my first video. and it gets quite irritating to be really engaged with a topic and have to take a forced break and not know how long it will take to get restarted. my only real complaint. also, maybe Gregory careman can work to improve not waving his hands with every syllable.

By George Krause on 3/4/2024

So far I find the course interesting and informative. I do recommend the presenting to read The Analytic encounter: transference and human relationship by Mario Jacoby, then revisit the section regarding Carl Jung, with specific reference to the section of Jung's view of interaction between analyst and patient.

This course is good. Some of it is obvious – but, then, what is obvious to me is not necessarily obvious to some others, and vice versa. As with most courses, I watch it at double speed. Perhaps I'm just impatient. Delivery is excellent: no dumbing-down but also nothing unexplained.

Excellent presentation for people who are not neuro-scientists. Great overall discussion without needing to get advanced degrees in biology and chemistry. Just the overall basics. Good course so far!!!

By Fauzia Fatchan on 5/2/2023

This is the second course that I have taken from Gregory. It's very informative and much enjoyable. This can be a basic before we explore the subject further. I recommend this course for anyone who wants to develop themselves in a fun way. PS : I was at an airport yesterday and bought a book - Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. When I came to the last section today, that book was on the top of the list of recommended readings. Not coincidence, I believe :)

Good course, he told us some good practices and ways to improve our sleep, and dreams and maybe motivate us to better waking and sleeping routines. He also covered lucid dreams, but I have not tried that one, so I hope that works too.

By Juliana Sousa on 11/8/2022

I have completed 4 courses with Mr Gregory; Neuroplasticity, Neuroscience for parents. Neuroscience of sleep and dreams and NBA. I am a CBT Therapist who started studying for helping others, but I am amazing how the courses have helped myself first. Mr Gregory is fun, explains in a easy way and well. He is also very clever .Hope I will get there one day :-) I just have to say "Thank you" Your courses has changed my everyday life... I enjoy every step of the way! Just one advice for new students: " I know sometimes is very hard... we end up trying to change things and people around us"...but please remember that is very important to change ourselves in the first place...

By Arvinth Nair on 7/17/2022

I took this course because I was sleepy during the day no matter how long I sleep at night. No doubt I learnt something new and the lucid dreaming part is a very beneficial knowledge that I haven't heard of.

By Aromal Satjayababu on 2/12/2022

Scientific approach to sleep and dreaming. There were many AHA moments in the course especially in the dream and lucid dreaming sessions. Answered many of the doubts I had about my dreams. Thanks and Gratitude to Gregory Caremans

By Petra Crnetic on 11/6/2021

I am following mr. Gregory for some time now and he is an amazing lecturer. His courses give great information and I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in knowing more and deepening their knowledge on how our brain functions. :)
