From a Coast to Coast AM insider, a mind-expanding exploration of sleep problems and unusual dream states–the scientific explanations and the paranormal possibilities.

The sleeping mind is a mysterious backdrop that science is merely beginning to reveal. It was only some sixty years ago that researchers discovered REM, the rapid-eye-movement routine that’s connected with dreams. In Nightmareland, Lex ‘Lonehood’ Nover moves in to the eerie borderlands where in fact the unconscious, dreams, and strange entities intermingle under the cover of evening, uncovering wider and hidden areas of ourselves, through the savage and frightening 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 these who kill while sleepwalking, to supernatural elements such as the incubus, alien abduction, and psychic attacks, Nover provides readers on a fantastic journey through history, folklore, and science, to greatly help us understand what happens whenever we sleep.
