Summary:
From a Coast to Coast AM insider, a mind-expanding exploration of sleep disorders and unusual dream states–the scientific explanations and the paranormal possibilities.
The sleeping brain is a mysterious backdrop that science is merely beginning to shed light on. It was just some sixty years back that researchers discovered REM, the rapid-eye-movement cycle that’s connected with dreams. In Nightmareland, Lex ‘Lonehood’ Nover travels in to the eerie borderlands where in fact the unconscious, dreams, and unusual entities intermingle under the cover of night, exposing wider and concealed aspects of ourselves, through the savage and terrifying to the incredible and sublime.
Encompassing recognized medical phenomena such as for example rest paralysis, parasomnias, and Ambien ‘zombies,’ and the true-crime casebook of those who eliminate while sleepwalking, to supernatural components such as the incubus, alien abduction, and psychic attacks, Nover brings readers on an extraordinary journey through background, folklore, and science, to greatly help us know very well what happens whenever we sleep.
