The ability that human beings have to conjure up different thoughts, feelings, and images while they sleep is perhaps one of the most perplexing concepts of all time. Dreams are incredibly fascinating, mostly because so much about them has yet to be uncovered. Scientists, physicians, and psychologists have all completed studies on the subject in attempts to further their knowledge on the act of dreaming; unfortunately, most experiments have only provided a limited amount of information.
