we bust open still more doors of perception. Some people who experienced “lucid dreams” were helping researchers discover more about sleeping brains. Lucid dreaming, we explained, is the state of being asleep but aware you are dreaming. Some dreamers were so adept that they could count to 10 within their dream while signalling to the (awake) researchers the start and end of the count.

If this seems disappointingly banal you only have yourself to blame, since many aspects of dream content are thought to be reflections of your emotional slate in regular, awake life. Whatever you care most about during non-sleepy times is likely to appear with special frequency in your dreams. So if that really is a large,…

swear that I've dreamed about you. There's one I remember better than all the others; we were at a football game, the stadium lights bright and shining behind us. I didn't know you then, but for some reason, maybe fate, you were still there. That dream left me with a feeling I can't describe, the same feeling you give me now.
