What happens to the body during sleep? Explores the mystery of REM sleep, shows a computer display of the waves that sweep across the brain during sleep, and presents extraordinary footage of a cat "acting out" its dreams. The analogy of comparing sleep to a ship on automatic pilot graphically illustrates how some functions must and do continue while the conscious brain is asleep.
