DARPA Funds Research Into a Network-Based Interpretation of Dreams

KentuckyFC writes "Despite the universal experience of dreaming, psychologists and neuroscientists have little understanding of its purpose and mechanisms, or how it varies from one culture to another. So new approaches to oneirology, or dream research, are always welcome. Now a DARPA-funded research team is using network science to analyse dreams for the first time. Dreams have become amenable to network studies because dream reports and their interpretations are now widely available on the web in repositories such as UC Santa Cruz's Dreambank. The DARPA team crawled these databases in English, Chinese and Arabic for symbols that appear in dreams and their descriptions. They then created a network for each language by treating symbols as nodes and linking them to other nodes with similar descriptions. They then searched the networks for regions of more densely connected nodes that form communities. For example, in English, symbols such as 'ladder,' 'hill' and 'goal" form just such a community, representing 'achievement after a struggle.' Finally, they compared the communities from different languages to look for similarities. The results show that dream symbols seem to be connected in similar ways regardless of the cultural background of the dreamers. That provides a new window into the cultural links between dreams experienced by people in different parts of the world."

DARPA... has released another cover story.

These guys are sitting on classified technology and research into mind reading and mind alteration, called TAMI; Thought Amplifier and Mind Interface...

The technique became possible in 1974, when Robert Malech invented a radar system that could read and alter brainwaves remotely, thereby allowing the DoD, CIA, US DOJ and others to deploy a system which soon allowed all brainwaves to be monitored on a world wide scale using the existing radar systems of 1976. The patent is 3,951,134, Apparatus and method for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves. Boom, suddenly they're decoding evoked potentials and seeing what you see, hear, think, feel, and.. dream. At this point, over the last 35 years, a shit load of psychic warfare has went down, Americans have been tortured and abused with it, and mind alteration and reading had been perfected. Dreams can not only be read, but fully simulated, and they know how to track its effects and what its purpose is. I cannot devulge specifics, but their secretive research should be targeted and disseminated, because they are lying at every coner with these bullshit articles. They come out saying they don't know the purpose of dreams, .. this is only true in the public realm, and its a flat out lie. On top of that, similar cover stories ran by the DOD like they say they are just starting synthetic telepathy research in 2008, when the technologies been in use covertly for dozens of years .. and whistleblowers like Dr. Robert Duncan say it has been perfected, ..

Please click through to this page for Dr. Robert Duncan's books, the patents, and his interviews on Coast to Coast and Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory TV show on TruTV. http://www.oregonstatehospital...

Here are Duncan's credentials. He has worked for fortune 500 companies, the DOD, CIA, and US DOJ.. He has the most expensive American education money can buy and he specializes in technologies like directed energy, AI, and brain-computer interfaces. He has interviewed thousands of victims, of this system used for covert mind control, which he says he helped design. Additionally, it does heart rate and vital tracking, movement tracking, and license plate scans from space : http://www.coasttocoastam.com/...

I personally experience simulated dreams every night, which were made with this system. They computer generate the dreams, and use story boards to construct the story and landscapes, .. neurofeedback allows me to control and adapt the dreams, telling the computer how to change it in response to my thoughts and impulses. People are fully tied into their memories during dreaming, and that is incoporated.

Part of Dr. Robert Duncan's book The Matrix Deciphered:

Here is secret #1 that has been suppressed by the forces of ignorance in the government. There was a patent that I will keep referring to throughout this book because of the importance of the work. It is published in the appendix. In 1974, Robert Malech, an employee of Dorn & Margolin Inc., a major defense subcontractor in radar design now owned by EDO Corporation an even larger all defense contractor in electronic warfare, invented a fairly simple radar device that could read whole brain electrical activity at a large distance . It has the major advantages of no wires and full brain electrical activity analysis, not just points on the skull surface. He discovered and perfected a way to use some simple electromagnetic oscillations anywhere from 100Mhz to 40 Ghz to read brainwaves by "illuminating" the brain and its electrical conductance then reading the return signal. The imaging method observes the changes of frequency resonances, amplitude, and phase which represent the states of neuron depolarization throughout the brain.

Secret #2. But more profoundly, he discovered that he could influence brain waves if

I have this recurring dream...

...about the second letter of the Greek alphabet and I always wake in a cold, cold sweat, screaming "oh my God, NO!" Can't figure out what it means.
