BELL RINGS MAN CLEARS THROAT | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Agh! I must be dreaming, you're actually here early. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
Sir, yes, sir. All present and accounted for. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
Eh? Erm, not quite. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
Where's Colin? | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
HE SINGS IN OPERATIC VOICE | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Colin! Colin, Colin! | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
Hey, Colin, Colin, Colin! Wake up! | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
-Wake up, we're on in five. -Oh, crumpets. Must have fallen asleep. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
Positions, everyone! | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
This is Brain Freeze. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
With Dr Knowles... | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
..Professor McCork... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
..and Colin the floor manager. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Stand by! | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-Hi, folks, and welcome to Brain Freeze. -It's time to reveal... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
-Today's Big Question! -Today we're asking, why do we dream? | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
Do you know something? I don't think I've ever had a dream myself. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
That's impossible, Professor. Everybody dreams every night. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
For about two hours, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
which adds up to about six years of our lives spent dreaming. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
And how do you know that? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
By studying people's brainwaves while they sleep. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
There are five stages of sleep. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
This is stage one, when you're dropping off. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Then as you move into stages two, three and stage four... | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
the waves get bigger and slower. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
-But what's this? -Agh! My body's asleep but my brain is awake. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
What's going on? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
Ah, he's entered the stage known as REM sleep, or rapid eye movement. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
We know that most dreams occur during this stage. Unless you wake up | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
during or soon after REM, you're unlikely to remember any dreams. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
Agh! Killer ducky! Cut to commercial, cut to commercial! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
# La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
# La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la! # | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Oh, maybe don't give up the day job just yet, Colin. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-You... You don't like my singing? -No, it's not that, Colin. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
You should try breathing more from the diaphragm, you know? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Not the lungs. And then expel the air, like this. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
SHE BELTS OUT POWERFUL NOTE | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Wow! Great pipes, Doctor. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-Thanks. -Right. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
We're live in five, four, three, two, one. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
This just in from Jasmine, who wonders if dreaming has a use. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Oh, oh, I know the answer to this one. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Some scientists say that dreams help us to organise our memories, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
while others think they enhance our creativity. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
But others reckon it's just our brain making a story out of random | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-nerve activity. -So basically, we haven't a clue. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Well, the truth is, science still hasn't solved | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
the mystery of why we dream, but here are some things we do know. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Finally, something. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Babies spend more than twice as long in REM sleep as adults, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
which suggests that dreaming plays a role in brain development. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
The same is true of kittens and puppies. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
So you mean animals dream too? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Well, some mammals have REM but what exactly they're dreaming about, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
we'll probably never know. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
Today's Big Answer! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
We really haven't the foggiest about dreaming, do we? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Other than that it's got something to do with brain development... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
-Meh. -Fair enough. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
-So that's it for today. -See you next time. Sweet dreams, folks. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
And we're clear! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Ahem. # La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la! # | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
Oh, I know. I'm just a dreamer with no talent. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
-You do too. -I do? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Well, you're the best floor manager ever. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
And who says dreams can't come true? Eh? | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 |
