Dr. Taylor, a brain scientist, speaks about the ability for us to create our shared realities from our dreams. What's interesting is how she was able to distinguish the differences from the right and left brain functions. One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
