The second Dreams book for Oct/Nov 2024 Biere Library Storytime Book Club picks, though I definitely lagged in the second half (thus the late December finish). The first half was interesting, going over the history of dream investigation, and then about halfway through the authors propose a new framework (NEXTUP) on how to consider the purpose of dreams and how they work to make the brain explore weak connections for understanding what the brain experienced. I'll confess to forgetting what the acronym is (network exploration to understand possibilities). 

Overall, does make me think about the nature of dreams more, and I've never been so aware of dreams and what I'm experiencing than I was during this Oct/Nov period!
