Have you ever been awake in a dream? No, this episode isn't about Inception, it's about lucid dreaming! Julija talks with Karen Konkoly, a graduate student at Northwestern University, about her research on communicating with people while they're dreaming. They cover who is pre-disposed to lucid dreaming, what to do when people are bad at math, and how to conduct a fun science experiment at home!

If you're interested in developing your own lucid dreaming skills and have an Android phone, check out the app developed by Karen's lab here!
