Explores human awareness and consciousness as brain functions which neuroscientists still do not fully understand. Discusses dreams as related to chemical changes in the brain. Illustrates the lack of control over one's consciousness in multiple personality disorders by interviewing a victim and his wife, theorizing that physical changes in the brain may lead to the altered states of consciousness. Also describes changes in consciousness induced by stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and drugs like PCP.
