The narrator is an Octopus. Not normally the kind of book you\u2019d find on my reading list, but it just goes to show you that a well-told story keeps you going. And octopuses are amazing. I just loved the book <em>The Soul of the Octopus<\/em>. Wonderful nonfiction. And sticking with my baseline of \u201cyou can\u2019t make this stuff up,\u201d scientists wonder if octopuses have nightmares. The thing is, the creatures are bright and have personalities and learn and teach, too. They get attached to their caretakers and even play by hiding stuff and camouflaging and more. So, an animal that bright, why wouldn\u2019t they dream and beyond that have nightmares? This study isn\u2019t peer-reviewed yet, but it\u2019s fascinating. And, no.
