Experiments showed higher precognitive identification rates in dreaming conditions versus non-dreaming conditions, suggesting dream states enhance perception.
This study aimed to compare the precognitive results obtained during dreaming and non-dreaming conditions with a group of selected participants trained to recall their dreams, as well as human and artificial judges, in two separate experiments. The participants in this study were adults with extensive experience in remembering their dreams.The task was to dream a randomly selected image, called the target, immediately after the research assistant received the dreams transcriptions. In both experiments, the percentage of the target correct identification in a dreaming condition was 28.5% and 31.4% above the expected statistical chance of 25%, identified by artificial and human judges, respectively. On the contrary, the percentage in the non-dreaming condition was only 13.8%, well below the expected probability of 25%.
