My mother, my aunt, and I always have really weird dreams when there’s a full moon. What’s the scientific explanation for this? I’m sure I don’t know. Once my mom dreamt she was covered in baked potatoes. She also dreamt she was a basketball star and kept running down the court and dunking the ball (she’s five-foot-three, by the way, and she woke up sweating). Most of my weirdest dreams involve food.
