Why it was chosen: Someone cynical would suggest that the only reason George Lucas, with his infamous Star Wars merchandising contract, put a lengthy pod racing section in Star Wars Episode I was so it could be turned into a video game and make him more money.
STICKGOLD: A recent survey of marketing firms found that 77% of advertising agencies and marketing groups say that they hope to start using this type of dream incubation within the next three or four years.
FOLKENFLIK: Last week, Stickgold and two other sleep scientists published an article in Aeon magazine about dream advertising. Stickgold says there's power in how what we see when we're asleep shapes our reality when we're awake.
FOLKENFLIK: Like the debate over subliminal advertising in decades past. Using dreams to sell an addictive product, like alcohol, raises ethical concerns for all three researchers. When you mess with dreams, they said, there could be real consequences for how we function psychologically. But all three were clear. Advertisers have a long way to go before this could work at scale, even if millions of Americans do have smart devices monitoring sleep cycles.
In the study, conducted by Dr. Mehmet Yucel Agargun and colleagues, they looked at the sleeping positions and dream patterns of 60 healthy adults and found out that those who had lain on their left sides experienced the greatest number of nightmares.
The theory is that sleeping on any side causes an imbalance, but the left side results in more intense emotions and feelings of insecurity, which are strong associations with feminine qualities in traditional Chinese medicine. The right is more masculine and grounding, and evokes dreams of safety and relief.
According to more recent research by Dr. Calvin Kai-Ching Yu of Hong Kong Shue Yan University, which looked at the sleeping positions and dream patterns of 670 adults, people who sleep facedown on their stomachs have more exciting and positive dreams overall.
Sleeping belly down provides a wide-range of positive dreams, covering everything from seeing UFOs to wandering around naked. Most common are dreams about love affairs, most likely dreams about dating celebrities, or more realistic (and erotic) experiences with your significant other.
Not only do back sleepers typically snore, but they also tend to toss and turn more while asleep. This movement throughout the night also tosses sleepers' dreams around, and as a result, they tend to erratic and unpredictable dream patterns.
Now that you know what positions shape your dreams, shake things up by choosing a new way to sleep. If you're tired of facing the same nightmare every night, try sleeping on your stomach for more pleasant dreams. Can't stand the slight suffocation that occurs on your stomach? Roll onto your side and try out a few scary dreams.
Whatever you choose, keep in mind that you can alter your nighttime experience by moving around. And if you don't want to leave it up to chance, try lucid dreaming (made easier with some lucid dreaming goggles).
As long as you brought in metaphysical (Chinese) the Buddha took the lion posture (on the right side) before dying by choice. Also there are some interesting books on dream yoga that you all might want to look into its part of the Tibetan if i remember correctly karmapa order. It goes much more deeply into the above.
Be good! Dreams thrives because of the wonderful coMmunity supporting it. Whether you're playing, using indreams.me or interacting in Media Molecule's social spaces, please keep in mind that words, images or ideas that you might not find offensive might be quite offensive to someone else. Help us create a place where people want to share and feel supported when they do. A great coMmunity starts with you and makes the Dreamiverse amazing for everyone.
Dreams and dreaming have been discussed in diverse areas of philosophyranging from epistemology to ethics, ontology, and more recentlyphilosophy of mind and cognitive science. This entry provides anoverview of major themes in the philosophy of sleep and dreaming, witha focus on Western analytic philosophy, and discusses relevantscientific findings.
There are different ways of construing the dream argument. A strongreading is that Descartes is trapped in a lifelong dream and none ofhis experiences have ever been caused by external objects (theAlways Dreaming Doubt; see Newman 2019). A weaker reading isthat he is just sometimes dreaming but cannot rule out at any givenmoment that he is dreaming right now (the Now Dreaming Doubt;see Newman 2019). This is still epistemologically worrisome: eventhough some of his sensory-based beliefs might be true, he cannotdetermine which these are unless he can rule out that he is dreaming.Doubt is thus cast on all of his beliefs, making sensory-basedknowledge slip out of reach.
Importantly, both strong and weak versions of the dream argument castdoubt only on sensory-based beliefs, but leave other beliefsunscathed. According to Descartes, that 2+3=5 or that a square has nomore than 4 sides is knowable even if he is now dreaming:
Earlier versions tended to touch upon dreams just briefly and discussthem alongside other examples of sensory deception. For example, inthe Theaetetus (157e), Plato has Socrates discuss a defect inperception that is common to
Dreams also appear in the canon of standard skeptical arguments usedby the Pyrrhonists. Again, dreams and sleep are just one of severalconditions (including illness, joy, and sorrow) that cast doubt on thetrusthworthiness of sensory perception (Diogenes Laertius, Livesof Eminent Philosophers; Sextus Empiricus, Outlines ofPyrrhonism).
Augustine (Against the Academics; Confessions)thought the dream problem could be contained, arguing that inretrospect, we can distinguish both dreams and illusions from actualperception (Matthew 2005: chapter 8). And Montaigne (The Apologyfor Raymond Sebond) noted that wakefulness itself teems withreveries and illusions, which he thought were even moreepistemologically worrisome than nocturnal dreams.
Descartes devoted much more space to the discussion of dreaming andcast it as a unique epistemological threat distinct from both wakingillusions and evil genius or brain-in-a-vat-style arguments. His claimthat he has often been deceived by his dreams implies he also sawdreaming as a real-world (rather than merely hypothetical) threat.
In the Meditations, after discussing the dream argument,Descartes raises the possibility of an omnipotent evil geniusdetermined to deceive us even in our most basic beliefs. Contrary todream deception, Descartes emphasizes that the evil geniushypothesis is a mere fiction. Still, it radicalizes the dreamdoubt in two respects. One, where the dream argument left theknowability of certain general truths intact, these are cast in doubtby the evil genius hypothesis. Two, where the dream argument,at least on the weaker reading, involves just temporary deception, theevil genius has us permanently deceived.
Unlike dream deception, which is often cast as a regularly recurringactuality (cf. Windt 2011), brain-in-a-vat-style arguments are oftenthought to be merely logically or nomologically possible. However,there might be good reasons for thinking that we actually live in acomputer simulation (Bostrom 2003), and if we lend some credence toradical skeptical scenarios, this may have consequences for how we act(Schwitzgebel 2017).
At the end of the Sixth Meditation, Descartes suggests asolution to the dream problem that is tied to a reassessment of whatit is like to dream. Contrary to his remarks in the FirstMeditation, he notes that dreams are only rarely connected towaking memories and are often discontinuous, as when dream characterssuddenly appear or disappear. He then introduces the coherencetest:
For all practical purposes, he has now found a mark by which dreamingand waking can be distinguished (cf. Meditation I.7), andeven if the coherence test is not fail-safe, the threat of dreamdeception has been averted.
How considerations of empirical plausibility impact the dream argumentcontinues to be a matter of debate. Grundmann (2002) appeals toscientific dream research to introduce an introspective criterion:when we introspectively notice that we are able to engage in criticalreflection, we have good reason to think that we are awake and notdreaming. However, this assumes critical reasoning to be uniformlyabsent in dreams. If attempts at critical reasoning do occur in dreamsand if they generally tend to be corrupted, the introspectivecriterion might again be problematic (Windt 2011, 2015a). There arealso cases in which even after awakening, people mistake what was infact a dream for reality (Wamsley et al. 2014). At least in certainsituations and for some people, dream deception might be a genuinecause of concern (Windt 2015a).
Cartesian dream skepticism depends on a seemingly innocent backgroundassumption: that dreams are conscious experiences. If this isfalse, then dreams are not deceptive experiences during sleep and wecannot be deceived, while dreaming, about anything at all. Whetherdreams are experiences is a major question for the ontology of dreamsand closely bound up with dream skepticism.
