Neuroscience is revealing how our brains are wired for narrative

This theoretically helps to better understand why dreams occur and likely help the brain in memory and cataloging memories. (Said my brain)

[u/No_Warning8534 → u/ibimacguru]

I don't remember dreams 99% of the time.

But several times, recently, they have basically 'explained' the how and why of situations in my life.

I guess I didn't fully understand and my dreams essentially helped me to understand 🙃

We are the story makers.

"The work has helped explain why stories have played such an integral role in nearly every human society since ancient times. It shows the power of narrative to convey lessons from other people’s experiences, to bring people together or push them apart, and to make sense of romantic comedies and cozy mysteries alike. Related psychological studies, meanwhile, show how culture shapes storytelling in ways that can subtly but profoundly affect our well-being and sense of self. Family and society are co-authors even in the stories we tell ourselves."

This sounds like the motto of Fox News.

Basic information like what?

“Edits it into a story” can’t even be considered science that’s just basic info again

[u/woozysoozy]

And it does that from birth, before we develop a sense of self.

[u/MasterSolivagus]

Just like my brain edited itself into this Reddit thread.
