About this listen

Why do so many of us have trouble falling asleep? Why do our thoughts spin in wild directions after dark? More important: why do we dream?

In this groundbreaking new book, investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney sets out to discover how the sleeping world reverberates in the waking one. Unlock the power of the immune system at the same time you dig deeply into the source of creativity. Discover the evolutionary process that forges both memory and emotions.

Equal parts cutting edge neuroscience and ancient wisdom, this short and elegant book leads to the inescapable conclusion that we are what we dream.

Great discourse if you interested in the mystery of how 1/3rd of you life is spent. Let’s face it people, we have spent more time under the covers and on the potty then must other places.

Very relatable

The book totally woke me up.
Seriously, Scott Carney reminded me how important sleep is and the benefits of napping. Later in the book he emphasizes the fundamental importance of our dreams. Dreams are who we are and the dream world is as much real as our 'conscious' realm.
The author as narrator makes me cringe and I usually don't purchase books read by the author. Scott did a great job, however, I did set the book pace to 1.25x. The standard pace of his narration was too slow for me.

What an eye opener!
