Michelle Carr: Into the Dream Lab, Gebunden

Klappentext

To most, dreams are things that slip away when you re-emerge into the waking world, their remnants jumbled-up and only half-recalled. At their best, they are populated by pleasant recollections and surreal experiences. But at their worst, they can be traumatising and leave us feeling worse off than when we fell asleep. So why do we dream at all? What makes a person more prone to nightmares? How do our bodies interface with our brains when we're not awake? And how can we harness our sleeping minds to improve our waking lives?In Into the Dream Lab, dream researcher Dr Michelle Carr unlocks the science behind the sleeping body, exploring the relationship between dreams and physical health, with a deep dive into the neuroscience behind some of the most interesting aspects of dreaming: nightmares, lucid dreams, and the cutting-edge field of dream engineering.
