A completely quantitative and scientific endeavor exclusively dedicated to understanding dreams, something we spend literally six years of our lives doing yet have no clue about. So much mystery, so much to discover. The rapid pace of neurotechnology's development coupled with the US & Europe government-scientific community prioritizing brain research (albeit in very different ways) will catalyze neuroscience research in our lifetimes. VERY exciting time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2320387&forum_id=2#23715248) |

Date: July 25th, 2013 1:54 AM Author: splenetic outnumbered gas station useless brakes i think in the future this will be quantitatively provable. EDIT: or maybe not. who knows if something like consciousness can ever really be captured, tangibly, by technology or science? |

Gets really interesting about 2/3 of the way in. Basically, the author (a grad student in neuroscience) analyzed a data bank of 20,000 recollected dreams and found that "men dream more often of other men than they do of women, while women dream equally often of men and women. In addition, men more often engage in physical aggression against other men in dreams, while women more often engage in non-physical forms of aggression, for instance verbal rejections and exclusions of others." The suggestion is that dreams have some evolutionary basis, and might somehow be a means of ensuring the "emergence of traits and behaviours that enhance the ability to find a mate and reproduce." That theory was bolstered by two later findings:
(1) "[Those seeking new partners were] far more likely to recall dreams than the securely attached; they took less time to enter REM sleep and had many more dreams featuring aggression against competitors."
(2) "[R]esearchers found that dreaming about some sort of interaction with a romantic target significantly predicted romantic interactions with others the next day." |
