Improving My Topic Which is Dreams

This is just a brief description to give readers an idea to what will be coming in the future. Even when we are not doing anything, during states of rest, the brain still processes information. The mind generates future plans and imagines. While we sleep, sensory is reduced, our images and thoughts create dreaming. The content of dreams is subjective, which provides data about the resting mind and brain. These conscious involvements may follow recent memory, that processes general information about the world and responds to future events. Different ideas have been put into place in the last decade regarding the functional meaning of dreaming and sleep. Dreaming and sleep play an important part in humans. They show that our brain is detached from the environment, which can give conscious understanding

Quite basic

I still don't know what an altered state of consciousness actually is.

By will

You can alter state of your consciousness by your will. Actually everyone you see is created by your will. If you force your self to see different things, you will start to see it. I wrote a book about it, but it is another language.

Methods of assessment in the context of neurobiological/psychological research

Removed the section "Methods of assessment in the context of neurobiological/psychological research" because 1) it was poorly referenced and seemed to be largely original research (WP:NOR), 2) it described Psychometric questionnaires without saying how those questionnaires were used in understanding altered states of consciousness - in other words, the section didn't actually say anything about altered states of consciousness, only about the questionnaires, (see Wikipedia:Relevance and Wikipedia:Relevance of content), and 3) it's too particular and specialized for a general article on altered states of consciousness - it made the article too long without adding anything to the understanding of altered states of consciousness - Epinoia (talk) 03:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
