Dear Wikipedia editors, Could I please make the following 6 suggestions to the Mark Blagrove (British psychologist) page:
1. An article referred to on this page that was in press has now been published and has volume, page numbers and doi. In the section 'articles in journals', could you therefore please amend Lockheart, Julia; Holzinger, Brigitte; Katharina, Adler; Barrett, Deirdre; Nobus, Dany; Wessely, Zora; Blagrove, Mark (2021). "120th anniversary event for 'Dora' telling her burning house dream to Freud". International Journal of Dream Research. 14 (2). Retrieved 3 June 2021.
To
Lockheart, J.; Holzinger, B.; Katharina, A.; Barrett, D.; Nobus, D.; Wessely, Z.; Blagrove, M. (2021). "120th anniversary event for 'Dora' telling her burning house dream to Freud". International Journal of Dream Research. 14 (2), 202-208. doi:10.11588/ijodr.2021.2.77283
Please change link for this paper to the permanent paper at the journal site, which is: https://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/IJoDR/article/view/77283
2. Could a reference to that Lockheart et al. (2021) paper just published please be added to the following sentence in the DreamsID section:
In October 2020 and January 2021, Blagrove and Lockheart[29] held online events to commemorate the 120th anniversaries of Sigmund Freud's patient Dora telling two dreams to Freud. Next to 29 please add reference to Lockheart, J. et al. (2021).
3. The Lockheart et al. (2021) paper refers to DreamsID as having ‘a Dadaist and Surrealist performative aesthetic’ (p.207).
Could the following whole sentence ['This follows a Dadaist and Surrealist performance aesthetic (Lockheart et al., 2021).'] with reference please be added to the start of the DreamsID section as follows: ….to create "a tapestry of elements, plot, metaphoric imagery, and Freud's words." This follows a Dadaist and Surrealist performance aesthetic (Lockheart et al., 2021). Then, later in the session, the audience is invited to join in the discussion, referencing the dream to waking life, according to the method devised….
4. Could the following paper please be added to Articles in Journals: Blagrove, M.; Lockheart, J.; Carr, M.; Basra, S.; Graham, H.; Lewis, H.; Murphy, E.; Sakalauskaite, A.; Trotman, C.; Valli, K.

Dear Wikipedia editors, Thank you editors for previous suggested changes made. And noted that link provided in Lockheart et al. (2021) reference is now to the official journal site rather than an institutional repository.
I suggest the following: 1. Following a change to the DreamsID.com website, in the DreamsID section please amend They hold 50–60 minute sessions with the dream subject….. to They hold 60 - 90 minute sessions with the dream subject….
2. There is an unreferenced quotation in the DreamsID section: ……. "a tapestry of elements, plot, metaphoric imagery, and Freud's words."
Reference 10 is the source of the quotation. [Reference 10 is https://sublimemagazine.com/dream-sharing]
3. Reference 16, please change e26708–. to e26708. 4. Reference 20: please change 6: 831–. to 6: 831. 5. Reference 25, please change 10:1351-. to 10: 1351.

Dear Wikipedia editors, Thank you editors, for previous suggested changes made. I suggest the following: 1. In the DreamsID section please change Para 3 ‘and a Senior Lecturer at’ To ‘and a Professor at’ Source: https://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/staff/julia-lockheart/
2. At the end of the DreamsID section please insert: In June 2023 Blagrove and Lockheart held an event at the CG Jung Institute Zürich, in Küsnacht, Switzerland ( https://2023emotionsconference.ch/blagrove-and-lockheart), as part of the conference marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Institute ( https://2023emotionsconference.ch/). [suggest adding link here to the Wikipedia entry on the CG Jung Institute Zürich.] In recognition of the Dadaist influence on the DreamsID collaboration, in July 2023 Blagrove and Lockheart held an event at the Cabaret Voltaire, Zürich. https://www.cabaretvoltaire.ch/#node-80648-en. Cabaret Voltaire was the birthplace of Dadaism in 1916 [suggest link here to Wikipedia entry on Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich)).

Dear Wikipedia editors, Thank you, editors, for previous suggested changes made. I suggest the following: At the end of the section Dreaming, metaphor, insight, and memory consolidation
To create a new, 4th paragraph in this section I suggest adding: Whereas Blagrove had found evidence for memory consolidation being promoted by sleep (Van Rijn, E., Lucignoli, C., Izura, C., & Blagrove, M. T. (2017). Sleep‐dependent memory consolidation is related to perceived value of learned material. Journal of Sleep Research, 26(3), 302–308. https://doi.org/10.1111/jsr.12457) and by dreaming (Eichenlaub, J.‐B., van Rijn, E., Phelan, M., Ryder, L., Gaskell, M. G., Lewis, P. A., Walker, M. P., & Blagrove, M. (2019). The nature of delayed dream incorporation (‘dream‐lag effect’): Personally significant events persist, but not major daily activities or concerns. Journal of Sleep Research, 28(1), 1–8. https://doi.org/10.1111/jsr.12697), he and Lockheart ( /info/en/?search=Julia_Lockheart) later suggested that dreaming might only have a function after sleep, when the dreams are shared with others (Blagrove, M., Hale, S., Lockheart, J., Carr, M., Jones, A., & Valli, K. (2019). Testing the empathy theory of dreaming: The relationships between dream sharing and trait and state empathy. Frontiers in Psychology, 10, Article 1351. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01351). Dreams would thus be fictions produced while asleep, but which only have an effect and significance when recalled and shared after waking (Blagrove, M., & Lockheart, J. (2022). Dream-sharing and human self-domestication. International Journal of Dream Research, 15(1), 86–94. https://doi.org/10.11588/ijodr.2022.1.83442). This approach was expanded on in Blagrove and Lockheart (2023) The Science and Art of Dreaming, and in Psyche Magazine (2024) https://psyche.co/ideas/the-reason-we-dream-might-be-to-bring-us-closer-together.

Dear Wikipedia editors, Thank you, editors, for previous suggested changes made.
I suggest adding after the Sensory processing sensitivity sub-section and before the Dream-lag sub-section a new sub-section: New subsection heading: Lucid dreaming
Blagrove has shown that people who have lucid dreams score higher on personality measures of Internal Locus of Control (Blagrove, M. & Tucker, M. (1994). Individual differences in locus of control and the reporting of lucid dreaming. Personality and Individual Differences, 16(6), 981-984. https://doi.org/10.1016/0191-8869(94)90242-9) and Need for Cognition (Blagrove, M., & Hartnell, S. J. (2000). Lucid dreaming: Associations with internal locus of control, need for cognition and creativity. Personality and Individual Differences, 28(1), 41–47. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0191-8869(99)00078-1). In 2010 he hypothesised that lucid dreaming involves the attentional skill of the dreamer having metacognition about their state of consciousness at the same time as being engaged in the dream scenario. Congruent with this he showed that frequent lucid dreamers are more proficient on the attentional Stroop task than are non-lucid dreamers (Blagrove, M., Bell, E., & Wilkinson, A. (2010). Association of lucid dreaming frequency with Stroop task performance. Dreaming, 20(4), 280–287. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020881). He concluded that these greater attentional abilities required for lucid dreaming may counteract the psychophysiologically dominant and possibly evolutionarily selected usual lack of self-awareness in dreams (Blagrove, M., Bell, E., & Wilkinson, A. (2010). Association of lucid dreaming frequency with Stroop task performance. Dreaming, 20(4), 280–287. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020881). This usual lack of self-awareness / lack of lucidity in dreams was then shown, in a 2023 study led by Michelle Carr, to be overcome by a pre- and within-sleep training method of giving auditory and visual cues to the sleeping participant in the sleep laboratory. This training method elicited lucid dreams even in participants who had never had a lucid dream before (Carr, M., Konkoly, K., Mallett, R., Edwards, C., Appel, K., & Blagrove, M. (2023). Combining presleep cognitive training and REM-sleep stimulation in a laboratory morning nap for lucid dream induction. Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice, 10(4), 413–430. https://doi.org/10.1037/cns0000227). Thank you, DreamerMTB 81.154.219.195 ( talk) 13:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, editors, for the comment on a previous suggestion that was too reliant on primary sources and did not use a secondary independent source. I will make the following suggestion in case this one is acceptable, but can appreciate what the editor has said on proper objectivity and balance. My apologies if this does not meet Wikipedia standards, thank you for keeping me informed on editorial requirements and standards.
I suggest adding after the Sensory processing sensitivity sub-section and before the Dream-lag sub-section a new neutrally phrased sub-section:
New sub-section heading: Lucid dreaming
Blagrove has shown personality and cognitive characteristics of people who frequently have lucid dreams (Blagrove, M. & Tucker, M. (1994). Individual differences in locus of control and the reporting of lucid dreaming. Personality and Individual Differences, 16(6), 981-984. https://doi.org/10.1016/0191-8869(94)90242-9; Blagrove, M., & Hartnell, S. J. (2000). Lucid dreaming: Associations with internal locus of control, need for cognition and creativity. Personality and Individual Differences, 28(1), 41–47. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0191-8869(99)00078-1; Blagrove, M., Bell, E., & Wilkinson, A. (2010). Association of lucid dreaming frequency with Stroop task performance. Dreaming, 20(4), 280–287. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020881), and addressed the possibility of using training to increase individuals’ frequency of lucid dreaming (Carr, M., Konkoly, K., Mallett, R., Edwards, C., Appel, K., & Blagrove, M. (2023). Combining presleep cognitive training and REM-sleep stimulation in a laboratory morning nap for lucid dream induction. Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice, 10(4), 413–430. https://doi.org/10.1037/cns0000227). However, Soffer-Dudek’s review of lucid dreaming research, which included the personality findings above, concluded that there may be possible adverse effects of lucid dreaming and of induction of lucid dreaming (Soffer-Dudek, N. (2020). Are lucid dreams good for us? Are we asking the right question? A call for caution in lucid dream research. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 13, 1423. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2019.01423).
