P&C drink and review Zelus Beer Company's "Light Into Dark" Porter, then discuss dreams and dreaming. Why do we sleep?

The boys also discuss common dreams and their alleged interpretation, which raises the question, are dreams a mechanism for getting messages from our subconscious? Is it healthy to pay a lot of attention to your dreams?
