One part of the brain invents a story during sleep, while another part observes the story.

The claim that one part of the brain creates a story during sleep while another observes it is not supported by available evidence. Scientific studies describe dream formation involving multiple brain regions, such as the amygdala and hippocampus, which contribute to emotional and memory processing. These studies do not explicitly support the idea of distinct brain areas having the specific roles of storyteller and observer.

Mostly False Psychology
One part of the brain is making up a story during sleep while the other is watching the events.
The scientific understanding of dreams is that they involve several brain regions, including the amygdala and hippocampus, particularly during REM sleep. There is no reliable evidence supporting the specific roles of storytelling and observing assigned to different brain regions during dreams. Thus, this claim lacks robust scientific backing.
