00:00You just had the wildest dream of your life.
00:03Give it 60 seconds and it's already gone.
00:10Meet your hippocampus.
00:12The part of your brain in charge of saving memories into long-term storage.
00:23While you dream, this part of your brain is barely active, running on low power.
00:31So your dream plays out vividly in the moment, but it's never actually being filed away properly.
00:43The second you wake up, your brain shifts priorities fast, loading in today's to-do list instead.
00:51Without that save function turned on, and with real life flooding in, the dream fades within minutes.
00:59It's not that your dreams weren't real to you.
01:03Your brain just never hit record.
01:06Aren't you?
01:07Thank you.
01:07..
