This episode covers a lot. Dreams, nightmares, daydreaming, lucid dreams, R.E.M., and more. What are they and do they have a purpose? We tread into the odd such as sleep paralysis, and reoccurring dreams. Is trauma somehow connected to some of this phenomenon? Whats the science? 

What is the pineal gland? What calcifies this area? Is it involved in conscious, dreams, & sub-conscious?

Drugs, alcohol, & how they affect sleep. Even what a doctor may be prescribing. 

How important sleep hygiene is. This involves everything from schedule to temperature & everything in-between. 

We glance over 2 important names.
