Project 14: Dreamstudy is a project toward the establishment of an ultimate Dream Interaction Laboratory. It is part of the Cognitive Science Systems Project.

Project 14 has a multi-disciplinary goal in the meld of theory and practice in humanistic,  transpersonal, organizational, social transformation, consciousness and spirituality.

The areas of concentration are investigation of bias (ethics), in conjunction with epistemology, criteria selection and dreamwork praxis.
What would the project do?

Project 14: Dreamstudy is assembling defining factors in what or which dreamwork could be implemented within the scientific enterprise. Thereby, the project is first an analysis of dreamwork research not an analysis of dreams.

The onides Dream Laboratory and the Ganzfeld and Autoganzfeld Experiments are the inspirations and protocols.

What is happening first?

There is a problem internal to dreamwork that needs to be addressed first to establish a basis for the project. The following objection has been registered by R. L. Van de Castle a psychologist with a background in dream research and dream telepathy.

"Subsequently, Van de Castle (1989) expressed particular distress by the failure of replication studies to adhere to onides research protocols." (Ullman et al., 2000)

It has been noted, by Ullman et al., perhaps the academic community has shown bias in evaluation of the onides dreamwork. In that there may be ethical questions about the detractors of the inspirations and protocols, there is a call for further research in two congruent steps: 1.) investigation of areas of bias, epistemology and criteria selection then 2.) a long look at praxis.

What is the basis for the project?

Project 14: Dreamstudy feels that there is a basis for investigation, research and epistemology. That basis needs to be shown first in the onides et al. research protocols. "Perhaps our data base and our research protocols will be a continuing source of material for serious researchers who are attempting to encompass the study of anomalous phenomena within the scientific enterprise." Krippner, S. (1993) "The onides ESP-dream studies." Durham, NC: The Journal of Parapsychology.

Several researchable questions exist for the Project 14: Dreamwork Analysis Pilot project to consider. "Given the diametrically opposed assessments of the onides dream experiments, and setting aside momentarily the manifest malice in some of them, which side is correct? Equally disconcerting, how is one to tell? What criteria should govern?" (Ullman, 2000) These questions are seen as bias, epistemology and criteria selection, the three concentrations of Project 14: Dreamwork Analysis Pilot. In the sense of investigation of bias, Project 14 is a project with a strong and aggressive ethics imperative.

What is the goal of the project?

The goal of a pilot analysis would be to expand the three concentrations of bias, epistemology and criteria selection

1.) to determine the relevant researchable questions for subsequent replication studies,

2.) to identify calumniators, lampooners, traducers, libelers and dawpluckers,

3.) to identify research criteria,

4.) to propose methodology, research design, data analysis formats, falsifiabilty protocols and ways to determine results.
