Talk:Dream

Alternative / Alternate
Alternate means to-and-fro, rotating, not something which can be chosen as a different option. Please sort out 'alternate reality' which should read 'alternative reality'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.166.176 (talk) 21:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Human dream
This article is specifically about human dreaming. Should there be a separate article about animal dreaming? Most mammals, most birds, some spiders, octopuses, cuttlefishes, etc. dream. We need to have encyclopedic work about that as well. Kingturtle = (talk) 12:09, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Do you have any reference to the empirical evidence that some spiders dream? Or in fact sources for any of the claims for other animals? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

The information saying it cannot be proven that animals dream is incorrect. See: https://news.mit.edu/2001/dreaming 97.151.160.203 (talk) 02:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. In particular, you need to show why your source should be used over the current one. HansVonStuttgart (talk) 12:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That was 13 years ago. Here's another link. But the full details of the paper(s) in Neuron are not given. Seems to have been work at MIT by Matthew A. Wilson, on rats. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:47, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

People blind from birth do not have visual dreams
How do we know this? As long as the parts of your brain are there and can be stimulated some OTHER way, other than your eyes feeding you the images (such as when someone has a visual hallucination, for example, it's not coming from their eyes) It's just that they'd have no way to describe what it is, as they can have no concept of what colors and shapes are, unlike people who can see. 173.76.166.185 (talk) 01:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
