Have you ever been in an extremely deep sleep, the softness of your mattress feeling as comfy as a cloud while the most random, incomprehensible dream fills your mind uncontrollably? But next thing you know, it’s a few days later and you’re forcing a dream about an event that occurred during the day – it no longer being a subconscious one. Well, I’m sure you have experienced this at least a few times in your life because I most certainly have. But the question that made me the most curious was: ‘why do we only dream subconsciously at certain times?’. This question popped up in my head, funnily enough, during my attempt at sleeping during the sweltering, hot UK weather. Because it seems odd that one night you’ll have such a mixed, unfathomable and sometimes quite abnormal dream and the next night your mind is blank, and no dreams fill your brain but instead are filled with forced thoughts.
So, enough contemplating and questioning, and now time for answering.

So for what might be my last article (although probably not, I will need to write an article complaining about A levels before the end of term) I wanted to tell you about a first.
