Summary

70% Informative

LSD, psilocybin, and DMT appear to induce brain activity that mimics the dreaming brain, triggering vivid imagery, emotional release, and altered perception.

REM sleep has long been thought to support mental flexibility, creativity, and mood stability.

Dreams play a critical role in emotional processing and if psychedelics can mimic that, they could offer a powerful tool for therapy.
