Dreaming wakes

Giulio Tononi...is particularly concerned by the possibility that parts of our brain might be going offline without us even realising it. "In many respects, it would be like having a temporary mental disorder without anybody, including yourself, being aware of it," he says.
-- from Are you asleep? Exploring the mind's twilight zone?
Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled.
-- George Santayana
