** "Sleep Walking and Moon Walking: A Medico-Literary Study" by J. Sadger is a psychoanalytical investigation from the early 1900s that inspects sleepwalking, connecting it to dreams, the impact of moonlight, and sexuality. Analyzing medical cases and literary works, the author ties acts of moonwalking to unconscious mind activities and deeper psychoanalytical concepts. The study starts by giving an overview of sleepwalking as a phenomenon where people do complex things while asleep, forgetting it when they wake. It questions the belief that moonlight affects sleepwalkers, using literary and psychological sources, and citing Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth as a key example of moonwalking in literature. Sadger contends that understanding sleepwalking needs examining with psychoanalysis, and that it often shows suppressed sexual desires from childhood related to family relationships. **
