How Does the Dream Consciousness/Protoconsciousness Concept Resonate with Linguistic Ideas and the Hypothesis of a Universal Grammar?

Abstract

Comments on the articles by J. Allan Hobson (see record [rid]2014-54589-002[/rid]), (see record [rid]2014-54589-003[/rid]) & (see record [rid]2014-54589-004[/rid]). We are living in an era when communication has never been easier. In the small world of the academy, we contact many more people every single day than any scholar of the pre-industrial era could have met in his entire life. The result, however, is that contacts tend to be reduced to electronic messages or, when time is generous, to video conferences on our laptops. Sadly, however, our correspondence is rarely guided by that sacred principle of chance which generates serendipity, one of the fundamental ingredients of science.
