This is a basic rundown of what I'll be doing for this chapter. If you have any suggestions for organization, content, ect. post them here. I could also use a lot of help from the Research Dept. since this is a very science-heavy chapter. I've looked up a few things so far and provided links to them.


Chapter 3: I'm hoping to include a lot about current knowledge on the physiology and psychology of sleep. I think this chapter can be stretched quite a bit. Spockman has already posted the beginnings of a piece on the current theories of dreaming that is looking good so far. Please also help him by corroborating his information.


-The Sleep cycle and neurology of dreams (REM/NREM): most of this was already covered in the original, so with Kromoh's permission I'd like to use what we have there.

-Neurology of LUCID dreams. What happens to the brain? What do we know is different? How are/were lucid dreams proven? Why did the science community take so long to accept lucid dreaming? (lack of evidence, lack of research, prejudice?) I need some help finding info for this one, all I can find is what LaBerg has written.

How to tell if a dream is lucid or not? Do you stay lucid for the whole dream once you get lucid? Why not?



-Current theories of why we dream (Spockman) To just get an overview of what's out there, you can check out Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream#Dream_theories

But I would rather like to avoid using Wiki because as a general rule I don't think it's a great source, more of just a good place to get ideas of where you can go from there.
