40 Winks takes readers on a journey into the mind of a narcoleptic. The reader not only sees the hardships of daily life, but also experiences the fears and thrills of nightmares, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis and after death communication. With her many experiences in the REM/wake mixed state of consciousness and with an education in Polysomnography, the author provides evidence to bridge the gap between medical advances in sleep and neurology and spiritual teachings of the afterlife. We all have a connection to those in the spirit world, and through REM, we open a direct line of communication. 40 Winks offers affirmation to those who may be questioning their own dream experiences as coincidence or being "just a dream."
