This project initially began as an investigation into the neuroscience of dreaming, more specifically, the neuroscience of "abnormal dreams", a term I will more explicitly defined later. This topic intrigued me being that I was both student of neuroscience as well as someone who frequently experiences dreaming irregularities. 

Early on during my investigation into this topic, I found myself raising questions about the objective world (the physical substances and forces the make up everything) and what this means in terms of how we subjectively interpret it. Before I had even realized it, I found myself at a mind numbing intersection between science and philosophy. But by that point, there was no turning back.

​

I had inadvertently produced something which dealt with a topic that I (someone who finds it difficult to entertain ideas that are scientifically unverifiable) always steered clear from.The mind-body problem. Mind vs matter.

Subjectivity vs objectivity, being the catalyst that turned this project into what it is, will also be addressed in great length. The subjectivity/objectivity question in the case of this project is the necessary bridge to resolving the mind body problem scientifically. 

​

The entire process, more than anything , taught me about what I don't know. There's no answer in the end, only a better formed idea of what the question is. Such a conclusion to such a topic is poetic in that science is essentially asking questions whose answers only reveal eve bigger questions. Interpret my interpretations as you will, and thank you for reading. Let's start.
