X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us for a virtual event and learn how 
 to harness your dreams to improve your sleep and health with dream enginee
 r Dr. Michelle Carr. In <em>Nightmare Obscura</em>\, Dr. Carr unlocks the 
 science behind the sleeping body. Drawing on her expertise in nightmares\,
  lucid dreaming\, and the cutting-edge field of dream engineering\, she re
 veals how we can revolutionize our sleeping&mdash\;and waking&mdash\;healt
 h.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><br />To most\, dreams are things that slip away when we
  reemerge into the waking world\, their remnants jumbled up and only half 
 recalled. At their best\, they are populated by pleasant recollections and
  surreal experiences. But at their worst\, they can be traumatizing and pr
 event us from receiving the necessary benefits of sleep.</p>\n<p><br />So 
 why do we dream at all? What makes a person prone to nightmares? How do ou
 r bodies interface with our brains when we&rsquo\;re not awake? And how ca
 n we harness our sleeping minds to improve our waking lives?</p>\n<p>About
