What do you recommend to somebody who experiences every dream almost as if it is a lucid dream? For example, every time they go to bed, the dream they experience feels almost as long as they are sleep. During the dream, my friend has said that he sometimes has control, but from some discussions it seems like a lucid dream that he is observing. Besides from the experience being tasking, typically he has nightmares. and He purposefully stays up late, watching tv, to try and avoid sleeping.

I'm interested in lucid dreaming. I heard if you create a dream journal, it makes it easier to lucid dream. I'll check out your book.

Another point is the high medical costs in the US subsidize the low medical costs in other countries. The US government has the ability to leverage the pharmaceutical and medical technology companies bargaiin medicare/medicaid subsidies to lower prices. However, unlike other countries, the US does not levear, which allows companies to charge americans vastly higher medical costs than our counterparts in the rest of the world. From what I've heard/read, the government hand-off approach centers around the idea that if regulators force a reduction in price, less drugs and medical devices would be researched. Therefore, our high costs are necessary to subsidize the development of technology for the entire world, but I am not sure how much I really believe that. Personally, I believe more government research would help solve these problems. The government take on the risk of initial research and companies do the mass-production and development
