This chapter wasn't really that new in my opinion. We've learned this before but I will say it did expand on it a little more. I enjoyed to learn the complexities of how we sleep and what cycles we go through. It really helps to explain why we sleep restlessly or soundly, and why we need sleep at all. With doing the association tests, I found it quite interesting and surprising on the whole subconscious vs. conscious stuff. I don't necessarily thinks it is one hundred percent accurate but the percent that is I find fascinating. I expanded on why I agree and disagree with the association test in a previous blog called the association test. In a general overview, I thought the test and the idea of the subconscious being portrayed in anything for that matter, is a touchy situation. You have to be careful on how you are testing it and how people will look at it. I looked at it as organizing and trying to be accurate. It was a test of what skin color you prefer over others. Its definitely nifty how the creator came up with it and all but I just think it has slight imperfections. Otherwise the test was really intriguing and a good representation for your subconscious thoughts.
Overall I thought this chapter was really informative and fun to learn.

Cassie I like your point on how we this chapter goes more into that cycles of sleep that we go through. That was very interesting to me also. Because we don't really think about it when we sleep.
