    DescriptionHave your dreams during the pandemic been a little odd? Perhaps you've had nightmares where you're literally sick, or maybe they've been more abstract, where you're being attacked by animals, or your teeth are falling out. If so, you're far from alone. In fact these dreams can even be healthy. Analyzing our COVID nightmares at scale can reveal a lot about our emotional and psychological experience of the pandemic.

  • TitleThe ‘Wake’ App in ‘Inventing Anna’ Isn’t Real—But Dream Scientists *Are* Collecting and Analyzing Dream Data

    DescriptionThe greatest swindle on the recent based-on-true-events Netflix series Inventing Anna is undeniably that of faux-heiress Anna Sorokin, who goes by Anna Delvey. But, within a couple episodes, we learn she’s not the only con artist in her sphere. Her boyfriend, whose character is named Chase Sikorski, is a high-flying tech mogul gouging investors for an app called Wake, which purports to collect, analyze, and (gulp) sell dream data. In the show, he ultimately fails to create it and loses himself among delusions of grandeur, while the app is relegated to nothing more than, well, a pipe dream. But, as it turns out, the technical idea behind this proposed invention isn't actually so far-fetched.
