Dream Sciences

The multidisciplinary study of the cinema that plays in your head while you're unconscious, featuring you as the star, director, and bewildered critic. It attempts to answer why you're giving a presentation to an audience of giant chickens, why your teeth are falling out (again), and why your high school crush is there, looking disappointed. Despite decades of research, the primary findings of dream sciences remain: dreams feel longer than they are, and you will always wake up right before the good part.

Example: "According to dream sciences, my recurring nightmare about being chased by a giant rolling cheese wheel suggests I have unresolved anxiety about... something. Probably lactose intolerance. Or debt. The science is unclear."

Dream Social Sciences

The study of how dream societies function, including the unspoken rules of the dream workplace, the politics of dream governments, and the economics of a currency that changes every time you look at it. It explores why your dream friends are always a confusing blend of three different real-life people, why dream restaurants never have menus, and why the dream bus system is both incomprehensible and always late. It concludes that dream societies operate on a logic that is both utterly alien and weirdly familiar, like a foreign film you're pretty sure you've seen before.

Example: "In my dream, I was elected mayor of a town where all the buildings were made of cake. The dream social sciences were fascinating: the cake council was corrupt, the cake citizens were always on the verge of being eaten by birds, and my entire campaign platform was 'better icing.' I woke up before I could be impeached."
