An range of intriguing topics is considered including; dream telepathy, near death experiences, alien abductions, belief in astrology, placebo effects and awareness during anaesthesia and in comas.

A variety of viewpoints are on offer, with the emphasis on the reader to make their own mind up. Prepared to be unsettled...
