In Falling Awake, Jayne Ann Krentz is again off on an exploration of paranormal talents, with a very likable heroine and hero and a number of plot twists, turns, and subplots. Also a cute curmudgeon of a cat.

The science background on sleep and dream research seems solid, except for a lapse on the question of whether cats dream. Considering that a lot of the basic sleep research has been done on cats, it seems surprising that Krentz would imply that the question is unresolved and mention only Freudian and Jungian theories in speculating on it. Anyone who has watched a cat sleeping has no doubt that they do indeed dream, and in lab experiments they exhibit REM episodes similar to those in humans during dreaming. In Jouvet's classic experiments, when the inhibition of muscle action during sleep was removed, cats were observed to stalk prey, attack enemies, and exhibit other typical cat behaviors during periods of REM sleep.
