Book excerpt: Lucid dreams are dreams in which a person becomes aware that they are dreaming. They are different from ordinary dreams, not just because of the dreamer's awareness that they are dreaming, but because lucid dreams are often strikingly realistic and may be emotionally charged to the point of elation. Celia Green and Charles McCreery have written a unique introduction to lucid dreams that will appeal to the specialist and general reader alike. The authors explore the experience of lucid dreaming, relate it to other experiences such as out-of-the-body experiences (to which they see it as closely related) and apparitions, and look at how lucid dreams can be induced and controlled. They explore their use for therapeutic purposes such as counteracting nightmares. Their study is illustrated throughout with many case histories.

Book excerpt: At night, during sleep - Who acts-out their dreams, goes "night-flying," has super-human strength and speed, gets hurt or hurts their partner in bed? Who eats food without control, and gains weight? Who has unusual or hurtful sexual behaviors? Who has sleep terrors, with screaming, running around, and jumping through windows? Who becomes violent, with punching and kicking? Who sleepwalks and leaves the house, drives a car, wiggles like a seal, or barks like a dog? Who has legs that are restless and jump around? Who has non-stop dreaming and feels exhausted in the morning? Who becomes paralyzed while falling asleep or waking up and has frightening visions? Who has "extreme sleep"? Important New Findings: Current research has shown that 2% of people engage in sleep violence; almost 1% enact their dreams; 5% have involuntary sleep-related eating; 3% have sleep terrors; up to 10% have sleepwalking; 4% have "confusional arousals" with agitation; at least 5% have episodes of "sleep paralysis;" 10% have restless legs; and the list goes on. Therapy of these conditions is usually effective and safe. In this book, physician and scientist, Carlos H. Schenck, MD, tells his story of helping discover the "dream-enacting" disorder in 1982, which he and his colleagues named the "Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder" - RBD. Since the time that RBD was first reported by Dr. Schenck et al. in 1985, thousands of cases of RBD from around the world have been published in medical journals. RBD is now recognized as one of the most important clinical discoveries on sleep since the time REM sleep was discovered in 1953. Dr. Schenck has also helped discover other sleep behavior disorders ("parasomnias"). Dr. Schenck now shares the stories told to him by many of his parasomnia patients and their families, who describe their fascinating yet dangerous and strange tales from "the far side of sleep." Dr. Schenck discusses the science of parasomnias, and its connection with the brain sciences, clinical medicine, psychology, law and literature. This book should interest people affected by parasomnias or other sleep disorders; and those interested in sleep, dreams, and human behavior from various perspectives; students and professionals in medicine, nursing, sleep technology, biology, neuroscience, law, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other fields.

Book excerpt: Lately cannonballs have flown their arcs, leaving the crystal sky unbroken, while on Earth their traces are all too visible. Yet though Heaven has never seemed so far away, the divine is terribly closer. War on Earth presages War in Heaven; the struggle between the holy houses of Christ and their eternal Adversary has erupted among the living. These are the signs of the last days: in 1651, a dead angel is found in a tree in Lincolnshire and a nymph rises from the waters of Kent; in 1642, a dying man is miraculously healed in the grave; in 1665, uncanny skull-masked doctors descend upon a plague house; in 1683, the French secret service unveil mirrors that show the futures; in 1671, Aphra Behn - she-spy and poetesse - infiltrates a gathering of alchemists; in 1649, the English kill their king, and history begins... NEWTONS SLEEP by Daniel O'Mahony is the first Faction Paradox novel to be released by Random Static. Though set in and building on the Faction Paradox universe, it is a completely self-contained story that does not require any familiarity with previous Faction publications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we sleep? How much sleep do we really need? What causes sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia--and what can be done about these sleep disorders? Why do older people have more trouble sleeping than young people? We have all puzzled over--or been plagued by--the mysteries of sleep. Now a leading researcher on sleep provides an engaging and informative introduction to the subject that answers many of our questions. Peretz Lavie surveys the entire field of sleep research and sleep medicine--from the structure of sleep stages and the brain centers involved in sleep regulation to the reasons for and significance of dreams, the importance of sleep in maintaining good health, and the function of biological rhythms--interweaving facts with fascinating case histories, anecdotes, and personal reflections. We learn, for example, about: *development of sleep patterns from infancy to adulthood and in the aged; *the wide variety of sleep habits in animals; *dreams of Holocaust survivors; *sleep under the threat of Scud missile attacks; *how melatonin influences sleep; *the story of the "Acrobat's Leap" sleep-deprivation experiments in the Israeli army; *how to treat insomnia; *what to do with a baby who refuses to go to sleep; and much more. Originally published in Hebrew to great acclaim, this book will enlighten and entertain everyone interested in how and why we sleep.
