He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A dream about your brain can be a glimpse into your mental processes. The brain is very active while dreaming. Dreaming is when you integrate new experience and information. The neural pathways are open to being changed. So your brain is going through some powerful processes as you dream, and it’s possible to visualize them. See: Letters Dreaming about a part of your brain being removed: you might be trying to correct a problem in your thinking, to forget something, or to break a neural pathway. A dream about brain surgery suggests that you need to rethink something. See: Surgery For example, a young man dreams that his friend, a girl he really likes and dated at one point but has agreed just to be friends with, performs brain surgery on him. She disconnects one part of his brain, then rearranges another part, symbolizing disconnecting from the idea of having a romantic relationship with her, and rearranging how he thinks about her. The brain is associated with learning, but think beyond academic learning to consider what you learn from life. The dream might suggest that you look closely at the basis of your convictions and ideals, why you have them, what they spring from, and how they serve or benefit you. Also consider the demands and expectations you put on yourself, especially those related to intellect. See also: Body parts, Heads, Letters, Psychologists, Rightness, Surgery
