In \u201cNight Shifts<\/a>,\u201d Michael W. Clune participates in the team\u2019s experiments and explores the history of dream research to consider the implications and applications of dream engineering\u2014both positive and dystopian.<\/em><\/p>\n

How timely! But you know, I think I managed this shaping my dreams by myself.<\/p>\n
