Can we control our dreams? Psychiatrist Dr. Joan Perez-Rifareal says we can

Description

Sigmund Freud changed the way we thought about dreams by asserting what they can tell us about ourselves and our innermost feelings. Psychiatrists like Dr. Rifareal today use dreams to understand what their patients are going through. Then there are “lucid dreams,” dreams that seem so real that you know these are dreams even if you’re asleep. She explains to Howie Severino that you can influence how you dream so it helps address mental health conditions and even enhance creativity. Lucid dreams are such a fascinating phenomenon that it’s the premise of a new digital series aimed at Gen Z audiences called "In My Dreams." "In My Dreams," a romance-magic realism digital series starring Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay, is a story that deals with lucid dreaming and a love story for people with depression. In My Dreams will be launched on May 18 on GMA Public Affairs' Facebook and YouTube page.Dr. Rifareal addresses as well what many believe about certain nightmares called bangungot. Can they really kill? She unlocks that mystery.
