520    A history of dreaming—and the darkest parts of our 
       sleeping lives  Ever since she was a child, Alice Vernon 
       has slept strangely. From episodes of sleepwalking to 
       hallucinations of sinister figures in her bedroom, her 
       nights are often eventful and sometimes frightening. She’s
       not the only one.  Drawing on scientific, historical and 
       literary sources, as well as her own experiences, sleep 
       historian Vernon explores the history of our relationship 
       with bad dreams: how we’ve tried to make sense of and 
       treat them, from some decidedly strange ‘cures’, like 
       peacock’s dung and magical mare stones, to research on how
       video games might help people rewrite their dreams. Along 
       the way we explore the Salem Witch Trials and sleep 
       paralysis, Victorian ghost stories, and soldiers’ 
       experiences of PTSD.  Parasomnias are not as uncommon as 
       we think, but we don’t talk about them enough. Night 
       Terrors aims to shine a light on the darkest parts of our 
       sleeping lives.
