The Science of Dreams
Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of dreams and exploring what happens inside our brains while we sleep. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology, but for most of history, this field barely existed. The main reason? Dreams are elusive—they can’t be touched, measured, or observed directly. You can’t taste or see someone else’s dream, and even if you ask people to describe their dreams, the results are often unreliable. In fact, it’s estimated that we forget about 95% of our dreams, especially within the first 10 minutes after waking up.

The Geometry of Genius
Let's talk about who created this magnificent geometric painting. To find the answer, we need to rewind to 2002, on a street outside a karaoke bar in Tacoma, Washington. A humble furniture salesman named Jason Padgett had just enjoyed a few drinks and was leaving the bar when everything changed—a blow to the back of his head. Jason was mugged and violently beaten, but that tragic event marked the beginning of an extraordinary transformation.
