Reply to Researchers have shown that individuals who are played a piano chord during sleep that was previously paired to a specialist form of nightmare therapy have happier dreams and fewer nightmares than those who didn't undergo previous pairing, showing that this approach can alter emotions in dreams. by rjmsci

Dreams are a clue to underlying psychological happenings - you don't want to alter these, they are an attempt by the subconscious to make something known to the conscious mind. Pay attention to your dreams - the good and the bad.

Definitely, and knowledge accumulation is important to be a specialist in a field, but this approach doesn’t offer the full experience.

It’s like giving a man fish rather than teaching him how to fish for himself - it’s something that is lacking in education generally.

A lot of history is traditionally passed down orally, and often through the use of symbols signifying universal truths. When oral tradition is interrupted (for example when all your elders die of mysterious causes, or when all your children are sent to factory/reconditioning schools) then history must be re-discovered through archeology - an imperfect method of piecing together clues to reconstruct a best guess for what might’ve happened.
