What's the point of the study? |

I'm in my final year at King's University College (affiliated with University of Western Ontario), and I'm doing a thesis on Dream Incubation, with Prof. Imants Baruss. Due to the fact that it takes place entirely online, I'm able to recruit participants/ volunteers who are not students. The study seems to be unable to work on Internet Explorer, however it works quite well on newer versions of Safari and Firefox! |

Look, I'm sorry to break this to you, but what your professor does can hardly be considered research. |

"I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia, food of the gods." - Claudius Ptolemy
the whole spiritual connection may be far out there, this being a dedicated science forum, but as for the quantum mechanics i'm not too sure |

Quantum physics have shown strong links to spirituality ... I have no citations because I don't consider this a serious enough response at the moment. Moving on... anything experienced can be studied with research, including dreams. Psychology studies internalized processes and also the behaviors associated with it (amongst other things). Her prof who is implied to be inept, may or not be. However just because he may associate spirituality with science doesn't make his thinking far fetched. It's about time the bridge is gapped between the two sciences. There are measurable variables to be studied, especially in something like dreaming. On the other hand, maybe the prof is simply a dreamer and thinking far out of the box... but that's how new ideas, concepts, and theories are conceived... by out of the box thinking. |
