Hepatitis C (HCV) is a blood-borne virus that is most commonly acquired by people who inject drugs. If left untreated, HCV can cause cirrhosis of the liver, liver failure and liver cancer.

It is no wonder people dismiss dreams as random neural firings of the sleeping brain. So why is it that throughout history, dreams have been seen as sources of insight, wisdom, art, or even mystical experience?
