Summary

Every night your mind makes up stories you didn't choose. We look at what sleep science knows about REM and dreaming, from Freud and Jung's ideas about messages from the unconscious to modern theories about memory, emotion, and rehearsing threats. We also explain why dreams feel so real, how lucid dreaming was confirmed in the lab, and why universal dream dictionaries don't hold up.
