New tool can automatically analyse dreams and finds they 'don't contain hidden messages'
Have you ever woken up from a dream that made absolutely no sense and wondered what it was all about? A team of researchers claim the dream you've experienced is just a continuation of what is happening in your every day life - with no deeper or hidden meaning. Experts from the Nokia Bell Labs in Cambridge created a Natural Language Processing technique that can automatically analyse dreams and quantify them. According to what sleep scientists call the'continuity hypothesis,' our dreams reflect what we experience in our real lives and the new tool proves the theory. Because our dreams reflect every day life, the authors say it could be possible to build a tool that could help in mental health diagnosis and treatment.
