  • You're misinformed. As a dream therapist, dreams exist on 4 levels: 1) the symbolic, such as your skin is your boundary 2) the literal, meaning a skin disease or allergy 3) the metaphorical, such as someone is "getting under your skin" and 4) the spiritual, as in my body may whither away, but my soul goes on.

    • Which branch of social science procures therapeutic treatment of a mental dream disorder?

      Please do not use -ists or -isms?

      Archaic.

      Please describe the Physical properties of a 'spirit'.

      Please describe the Physical properties of a 'soul'.

      • Psychoanalysis was founded on dreams. The spirit has no physical properties, so your question is meaningless.

        • Incorrect.

          Your comment is meaningless. Everything in this Universe, and every other Universe, including space, has Physical properties. If something does not have Physical properties, then it doesn't exist; meaning it's meaningless.

          • The spirit is energy, which cannot be created nor destroyed.

              A "spirit", does not have any Physical properties.
              Everything in this Universe, and every other Universe, including space, has Physical properties.
              If a concept does not have Physical properties, then it does not exist in this Universe, or in any other Universe.

              The law of conservation of energy, first formulated in the nineteenth century, is a law of physics. It states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. The total energy is said to be conserved over time. For an isolated system, this law means that energy can change its location within the system, and that it can change form within the system, for instance chemical energy can become kinetic energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

              In the twentieth century, the definition of energy was broadened. It was found that particles that have rest mass are equivalent to amounts of energy (see mass-energy equivalence). There particles were found subject to annihilation in which matter particles (such as electrons) can be converted to non-matter (such as photons of electromagnetic radiation), or even into potential energy or kinetic energy. Matter could also be created out of kinetic or other types of energy, in the process of matter creation. Thus, matter (defined as ponderable matter particles) was found not to be conserved.

              In such a transformation process within an isolated system, neither the mass nor the energy changes over time, although the matter content may change. Therefore, conservation of energy, and conservation of mass, each still holds as a law in its own right (indeed they are restatements of the same law, when mass and energy are recognized to be equivalent). When stated alternatively, in terms of mass and of energy, they appear as the apparently distinct laws of the nineteenth century.

              • Ergo, if this 'spirit' thing actually did exist (which it does not), then there should also exist, in this Universe, or in another Universe, an anti-spirit. I could then cause (hypothetically) a spirit / anti-spirit annihilation event, which would result in its complete or partial destruction, into nothingness.

                Also, I should be able to theoretically transform this fictitious 'spirit' thing into ordinary matter. I would then be creating something else from it.

          • What about photons of light, which are energy without mass?

            • Incorrect.

              Photons are a form of massenergy. Albert Einstein proved that mass (matter) and energy (photons), are different forms of one another (E=mc2).
              Photons, therefore, must have a mass. We, sometimes describe photons as massless, but in reality they do have a mass. It is simply that photons have an infinitesimal amount of mass, we are unable to measure it.
              Better to descibe photons as 'nearly massless', or 'near zero mass'.

          • Did it not occur to you, that Doctor Sigmund Freud, could have been incorrect?

            Also, the 'unconscious mind', does not necessarily conclude in dreams.

            It is much more readily understandable, if one uses the term 'Sentience', and that the Sentience in one's mind, is in the Cerebral Cortex portion of the Brain. Unconsciousness occurs at all times, in the other portions of the brain. Dreams occur in the Cerebral Cortex, in an unconcious-like state, usually in regular cycles. It would be helpful to have a different term for the unconscious-like state of the Cerebral Cortex (perhaps, uncognizance?).
