its difficult doing research on the state of dreaming.
for one, its a niche within a niche- it involves both the science of sleep and memory under the science of the brain, and it involves psychological interpretation from many different modalities. we dont, and may never, have full understanding of the brains processes- which leads to our material understanding of dreams being amorphous (that and the relative youth of the field).
secondly, the concept of dreams are a cultural touchstone almost everywhere on earth. theyre heavily wrapped up in religious mythology, storytelling, psuedo-scientific assumptions and biases. unlike, idk, DNA-sequencing where if you dont know what it is youll probably not have any thoughts on it, everyone has an opinion or personal belief about dreaming because we've all either experienced it, know people who have, or learned about it within the context of a narrative device.
and thirdly from a selfish american point of view, the wests pre-concieved notions seem to dominate those spheres of thought. even in foreign literature or scientific studies-
(because im only fluent in english, and i know this is a heavy bias to my research, but there is more romance language carry-over than say, Bangali or Swahili. this cant Just be due to language structure, it also has to do with colonization. what im saying is that within this limited scope, its annoying how few of our writings try to look outside ourselves. maybe partly due to how personal dreaming is? but if schizophrenia can change its hallucinations based on different cultures/regions, imagine how different dreams may be sensory wise too. it is frustrating.)
-you rarely see hypothesis presented by someone who is not a grifter from california. im exagerrating a bit out of annoyance, but no i do not want to buy your book on dream symbolism that is regurgitated new age idealogy. no i do not want your protein supplements that promise to help me lucid dream. no i do not believe dreams are a method of precognition or other psychic abilities. there are so many arguements to break down why what youre doing is incurious and sometimes purposefully misleading.
Dude I don’t know about everyone else but I LOVE when I stumble across highly specific academic drama that literally nobody cares about but a few people will throw hands for. Like I just wrote a 7 page essay explaining the long dramatic breakup between sociologists and historians and it is PEAK humour. The pettiness in academese. Stuffy old men losing their shit over insult to their fieldwork. All of it.
From “Criminology, deviant behaviour, and mental disorder”
“Some modern sociologists view the system of psychiatric diagnosis as a subtle form of covert control by the orthodox establishment. By defining inconvenient behaviour as sickness, they help to suppress individuals who step out of line. The most blatant example in recent limes is (he Russian practice of committing to hospital on psychiatric grounds persons with deviant political views.”

Emile Durkheim (1858 - 1917) Durkheim made innumerable contributions to the young discipline of sociology, but he is most often lauded for his demonstration that even a personal act, such as suicide, is powerfully shaped by social forces.

Therapists and psychologists: read this or I will find you.
[TW for ultimate bitch mode and shitty therapists/psychologists/whatever] If you are a therapist, psychologist, sociologist, or any other position where you deal with people with mental illness, listen the fuck up. If you don't believe DID/OSDD/DDNOS is real, throw your degree into a fire. If you believe people with DID/OSDD/DDNOS are crazy people who are delusional and need to be locked away, throw your degree into a fire. If you believe people with DID/OSDD/DDNOS are people with imaginary friends who refuse to grow up, throw your degree into a fire. If you believe people with DID/OSDD/DDNOS are dangerous and could hurt people "any second" (like in fucking Split), throw your degree into a fire. If you believe people with DID/OSDD/DDNOS are just weird, freaky people, and are apalled at the criteria above and don't do any of those things, but still think they're weird, or a freak, or think that they're alters aren't equal to "real" people? THROW YOUR FUCKING DEGREE INTO A FIRE, BITCH. These disorders are REAL. No matter how little the world or you understands them. No matter what kind of shit lies the media tells you. No matter how "scary" they are. They fucking exist. HOW ABOUT YOU GROW THE FUCK UP, ACCEPT THAT AND DO YOUR FUCKING JOB. These people come to you for help, and what do you do? One of the things above or some other bullshit I forgot where you don't treat them seriously? RETHINK YOUR JOB. If you really want to help people, ACTUALLY DO THAT AND FUCKING HELP THEM INSTEAD OF HURTING THEM MORE AND BEING A FUCKING WASTE OF HUMAN SPACE. Alters are REAL, and deserve the same basic human rights and respect as anyone else. If you can't accept that, change your fucking job. WE DON'T WANT YOU. WE DON'T WANT YOUR "HELP." EVEN I DON'T HAVE DID, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH YOUR BULLSHIT EITHER! End of fucking rant. If you are anyone in the field of psychology who agrees, thank you, and I appreciate you. We all do. Spread awareness. Stand up for this issue. Do all you can to spread this information to others in the field. Please.
