How external stimuli are incorporated into dreams

Many congratulations to our very own Anthony Bloxham, who has had his recent research study on how external stimuli are incorporated into dreams published in the International Journal of Dream Research (vol.7, no.2; p.129-140).  The study, which uses an innovative mixed quantitative and qualitative technique called Q-methodology, looked at how semantically meaningful and non-meaningful auditory stimuli may be incorporated differently into people’s dreams when played while they are asleep.  The study demonstrates that we are sensitive to the semantic content of sounds around us even while asleep.
