Dreams of flying? Nightmares of teeth falling out? Falling off a cliff? As a sleep scientist at the University of Montreal, <a href="https://recherche.umontreal.ca/chercheur/is/in35846/"target="_blank" >Michelle Carr</a> has pretty much heard it all. In Michelle’s new book <a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250342720/nightmareobscura/"target="_blank" >Nightmare Obscura</a>, she explores the science of dreams, nightmares – and even something called dream engineering, where people influence their own dreams while they sleep. Today on Short Wave, co-host <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/1082526815/regina-g-barber"target="_blank" >Regina G. Barber</a> dives into the science of our sleeping life with Michelle Carr.
