A couple days ago, I encountered this website called Ever Dream This Man? and it creeped me out! So I did some research and its supposed to be legit. Its supposed to be a man who is in certain peoples dreams. I wondered if this is a Science phenomenon or if this religion based... Because now, Im scared :o
He was never in my dreams.
The science behind it would work like this:
1. Notice the sketch is not very detailed
2. There are probably a lot of faces that look similar to this sketch
3. So a lot of people dream of someone who looks similar because people dream of all kinds of people's faces and statistically a certain number of those dream characters will look like this, and if you consider the number of people who dream and that each of them has several dreams a night, statistically you will get a number of close enough matches for this sketch
Notice this site only claims that "throughout the world hundreds of people" dream of someone who looks like that. That's not a high statistic compared to number of people in the world.
4. Then some people look at this site and see this sketch
5. From that point on those people are more likely to dream of someone who looks like that because they saw that site
So that would be the science behind the dreaming of this man. But that's it.
Edit: If the sketch has any similarity to a celebrity or someone visible on TV then the chance of course would be even greater.
Now When I think about it, Its probably Snooki :DQuote:
