Researchers have been cataloging dream content for decades. These are tens of thousands of dream reports and here's what they found. The phone is almost completely absent from your dreams. Let me know how that if that hit you in the stomach, cuz it did me. You spend a third of your waking life looking at a phone and it barely registers in dream content at all. You dream about people in your life you haven't seen for 20 years. You dream about that house that you lived in as a kid. You dream about falling and maybe riding on some rhinoceros or something like that. Being chased by something, showing up to school in your underwear. You don't dream about scrolling.
Then think about what dreams are for really quick. Just think about what are dreams for? Your brain basically replays and consolidates what matters. The experiences that are worth encoding, uh the threats that the brain might want to rehearse and prepare for, the people that are worth keeping in your life. 4 hours a day, every day, we're on phones and when the lights go out, your own brain looks at that time and files those 4 hours under nothing happened at all.

The biggest influence operation in human history has nothing to do with any government at all. It's in your pocket. It knows you probably better than your spouse, your kids, your therapist. It never sleeps and it gets smarter every time you pick it up and you touch it. And at night, your own brain testifies that none of it was real.
This is the fourth rule about scripts that we talked about scripts a lot and you know it. If a script is openly discussed, its its power gets lessened. I'm not saying you need to go throw this thing in the trash. I have one. I don't have social media on here, but I had this. I might also pick it up more than I should. I'm I'm not perfect. I don't have all this bit figured out. I'm not a guru.

Maybe get those numbers and maybe you go on a social media diet. Just a diet and watch how your life kind of comes back to reality.
