ABSTRACT
In an Aboriginal dot painting in Central Australia, many stories are simultaneously portrayed in a single space. I have been told that these, by now world-famous, paintings have developed from body painting, making the body become story, much like Moto-san's rental body full of storylines. It appears that embodied imagination portrays a multiplicity of stories as a momentary epiphany in space. The most potent stories we currently tell ourselves about dreaming are stories about the brain. To our contemporary minds the brain has become the place of epiphany, the location of dreams. If we can point to places in the brain where dreaming happens, the mind of science can locate them, and tell their stories in brain language. This chapter will describe the stories science posits about dreaming in the brain, as told by two of the leading minds in scienti®c dream research, J. Allan Hobson and Mark Solms.
