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."
