Where do your dreams come from?
Scientists have found out that dreams and REM sleep are not directly connected! So an old lady, around 73, had a stroke in a very specific location in the occipital lobe of her brain--and she's lost the ability to dream. She still has REM sleep cycles, but not with dreams! That means that all the mumbo jumbo about our dreams being part of our subconscious and all might have some weight after all. I always thought so, finally some hard evidence. :)
