| Opplysninger | 'Parasomnias' are surprisingly common. The author set out to understand the history, science and culture of these strange and haunting experiences, the history of our relationship with bad dreams; how we've tried to make sense of and treat them, from some decidedly odd 'cures' like magical 'mare-stones', to research on how video games might help people rewrite their dreams. Along the way she explores the Salem Witch Trials and sleep paralysis, Victorian ghost stories, and soldiers' experiences of PTSD. By directly confronting her own strange and frightening nights for the first time, she encourages us to think about the way troubled sleep has impacted our imaginations.
