[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 89733, member: 4804"] The problem with using anecdotes like this for evidence is that humam memory is extremely fallible, (look up "false memories") and memory of dreams even moreso. It's extremely common for people to see something happen and then think "Oh, wait, I dreamed about this!" after the fact. What's actually happening is that you're trying to fill in the gap in your memory that the dream occupies. The only way to avoid this is to keep a dream diary and write up dreams as soon as you wake up, and dismiss any events that correspond to "remembered" dreams that don't show up in the diary. (Incidentally, this is also useful if you want to learn how to have lucid dreams, so you kill two birds with one stone) As for magic and science having the same origin, if it can be adequately explained by science then it's no longer magic. As far as astral travel and shamanism, I've yet to see any articles about them in peer-reviewed scientific journals. (Tabloids will publish any old crap) One rule you should follow if you want to prove that these kinds of things are real is to [B][I]never[/I][/B] rely solely on anecdotes, memory or stories. All of these things can be unreliable or outright faked at worst, and impossible to independently verify at best. At minimum you need video/audio evidence, but having a repeatable experiment is much better. (If it's not repeatable then it's either fake or you don't have all the necessary variables in place and need to do more research) [/QUOTE]
