I think this article could use more information and could definitely use examples, rather than just the definition of what it is. Ahein21 (talk) 18:23, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dream Transference Review for week 6

Peer Review #1: I organize the added info: -As cited in “Introduction to Jungian psychotherapy: the therapeutic relationship” by David Sedgwick, Jung considered telepathic dreams, or communications between individuals within an unconscious state, fit within the concepts of dream transference.[1]

-In his article title “A Strange Case of Dream Transference”, written by Jeffry Palmer, the author provides a very vivid example in which he shared an identical dream with his grandmother and a best friend about being in a park type environment that felt very artificial and foreboding. He believes that shared dreams of this type might be much more common than some believe. [2]

This information was slightly hard to understand with so section header, so I added a section header titled Examples and made a link for Jung. The cite for [1] was difficult to locate. The citation for [2] was correct, and was a valid example.Nicolasa11 (talk) 22:02, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review #2: I agree with Nicolasa11, referring to the validity of the citations used, as well as the ease of locating citation #1. There is some major editing I am going to try to do (I'll explain it here while I edit).

I first changed: "As cited in “Introduction to Jungian psychotherapy: the therapeutic relationship” by David Sedgwick,..."
1. To: "According to Jungian psychotherapy,..."
2. I also added parentheses here: (communications between individuals within an unconscious state)
  1. To help the complex sentence flow better
Next I changed: "In his article title “A Strange Case of Dream Transference”, written by Jeffry Palmer, the author provides..."
1. To: "Author, Jeffry Palmer, recalls..."
The changes I made was to eliminate the unneeded in-line citations (since you properly cited your contributions below), hopefully resulting in improving the readability of the information provided.

I hope I was able to help!...Bowlamat (talk) 03:56, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the validity of dream telepathy

in no part of the article does it mention that there is no concrete evidence suggesting that dream telepathy is real. perhaps these people have dreams that are highly informed by their past experiences and thus can construct virtually life like and highly predictive dreams of potential future situations.

"Mainstream scientific consensus"

The phrase "Mainstream scientific consensus" personifies, and assumes the existence, of a group as a social being "who" is inhibiting other viewpoints. But which scientists are meant and what are their specialties? Psychologists, from what I've seen informally, do not have a consensus on this matter. Are we to assume that the phrase rules out psychologists as being "real scientists"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.213.153.228 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where did that phrase "real scientists" come from? Consensus doe not mean that those who disagree are not real.

But parapsychologists, who believe spooky and wacky things like telepathy, for which there is no good evidence, are indeed outside the consensus. --Hob Gadling (talk) 18:29, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
