That document by LaBerge is horribly written for a "scientific" paper.

The MIT paper doesn't prove the existence of love but the existence of a reaction to familar items and associations.

Did you read both of those documents?


I'm not saying love or lucid dreaming doesn't exist...not by a long shot. I know they exist just as much as you do. But we have yet to empirically prove their existence as anything other than a subjective experience.

There's nothing wrong with that. Some things defy proof or current methods of study, and that's okay.

I still believe it would be a good idea to encourage people to look into the concept. Some people would fine their way here, and that benefits us all.
