From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Bob Carlson, and this is Unfictional.

Unfictional is KCRW's program of stories and original documentaries.

It's part of KCRW's independent producer project,

kind of a laboratory for independent radio producers, writers, and performers.

And today on the program, a story from scientist and storyteller Moran Serf.

It says, scientists say that they can record dreams.

20 minutes later, the FBI uses scientists to record everyone's dreams.
