I have high-tech tastes. If I had $100 million, I would spend it on research equipment rather than a yacht.

Dream research is a wonderful field. All you do is sleep for a living.

From early childhood, I was interested in understanding how the world worked, and assumed I would be some kind of physical scientist or chemist. But the truth was, I didn't know there was another kind of world, the inner world, that was just as interesting, if not more relevant, than what was going on in the outside world.

In most of our dreams, our inner eye of reflection is shut and we sleep within our sleep. The exception takes place when we seem to awake within our dreams, without disturbing or ending the dream state, and learn to recognize that we are dreaming while the dream is still happening.

In the dream state, the only essential difference from waking is the relative absence of sensory input, which makes dreaming a special case of perception without sensory input.

If you dream you do something, it's as if you actually are doing it from your brain's point of view.

It is certainly important to be looking for cures to medical disorders, but it is equally important to conduct research on human health and well-being.
