Show Notes

Happy Halloween my People's Scientist Army! Today in Episode 135 I dive into some scientific evidence on the Neuroscience and Psychology of Nightmares. I discuss many theories on nightmares dating back to the 1800s and earlier. Nightmares used to be called Incubus or Wizard Pressing, thought to be related to supernatural phenomenon. I also go into observational studies that identified different personality traits associated with the prevalence of nightmares and sleep paralysis. Tune in for details!
