ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In 2003, a laboratory asked the plainest question you can put to the night: when dreams draw on waking life, what do they take? Twenty-nine people kept logs for two weeks. The answer came back in two numbers. Two-thirds of everything these sleepers remembered dreaming drew identifiably on the days around it. And a whole day, replayed intact with its time and place still attached, showed up in one or two dreams in a hundred. The day gets in as parts. The day itself almost never arrives whole. And if you want the grimmest proof, it is on the record. After the eleventh of September, 2001, when the whole country watched the same footage on every screen, researchers went looking for the replay in the dream journals of forty-four Americans, eight hundred and eighty dreams across the date.

Watch a widow sign a quitclaim deed. Stamp the page. Take the fee. Drive home. Ordinary work, in an …

Let me tell you the story first. The store was a Mormon bookstore, an independent, living on the trade of the ward…
Here is a game. I am going to spend the next several minutes telling you about a book, and I will not say its name once. The name is four words. Two of them are the same word. If you follow the grammar, by the end of this episode you will say the name yourself, and you will know why it could not ha…
