My (very positive) review of Karen van Kampen’s The Brain Never Sleeps (Simon and Schuster, March 2026) is now on our website and has been sent to Dream Time, magazine of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, for publishing in the Spring edition. Excerpt of review here, link to whole review at bottom of post. ‘This is a wonderful, captivating, wide-ranging and very original book. It is a clear description of all aspects of research into dreaming and the experience of dreams. It ranges from what is happening in the brain when we dream, to dream content, types of dreams, dream analysis, nightmares, psychoanalysis, disorders of sleep and dreaming, and the technology now being used to alter our dreams. And the debates on whether dreaming has a function, and how we can even experiment to test these theories, are also explained well.’ @simonschuster dreamsid.com/science-posts-…

Wonderful experts’ discussion on @BBCRadio4 #withinourtime of how Dada started in Zurich, the many types of creativity within it, from poetry to collage to masks, how it spread to other cities, and how after about 8 years its informality & anarchic spirit gave way/birth to surrealism. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@NoContextHumans Is this removing the mothers from their babies and so sending the lambs to slaughter?

Why is sorting sheep so satisfying to watch?

@GWRHelp They have taken it to see if anyone claims it.

@Prof_Lockheart Thank you. There are many staff members on board this service. They will make their way through the train, checking tickets and operating the catering trolley. If you can make them aware as they come through, they can take care of this. - Cece

@GWRHelp there’s a bag left in the train. What should I do?

@GWRHelp In coach K.

@GWRHelp Do you have a phone number

@Prof_Lockheart Hi there. Could you please make a member of staff on board aware of this or hand this to staff? - Cece

@GWRHelp There’s no one about.
