Definition: Appeal to Authority is more typically used in ads to promote a brand by using someone well known to attract an easily influenced target audience. This is a red flag because the brand could be sharing false information that could harm the consumer, but since it’s being advertised by someone of a high authority,

Connection:  The ad that I have attached features a well known celebrity, Dr Oz advertising green coffee beans that supposedly “burn away fat in a natural way.” There is no evidence that these coffee beans actually work, but since Dr Oz is well known, his fans are wanting to purchase anything that he “approves” of. A red flag in this ad would be that there is no before or after picture, or even a quote from Dr Oz himself.

Definition: Mystical energy often refers to spirituality or an occurrence that science cannot explain. This means, basing one's beliefs on energy, or intuition.

Connection to pic/vid: In the image that I have posted, there is a diagram that labels all the 7 chakras within our bodies. Reiki treatment heals the energy if a chakra is blocked by using gentle hand movements that supposedly guides the flow of healthy energy. The benefits to this treatment is stress and anxiety reduction, pain reduction, and relaxation.

Definition: Confirmation bias is one’s tendency to search for and interpret information that confirms their beliefs. For example, Mandela effects; believing something is one way, when in reality you made it up.

Connection: In this graphic, there is a person having a conversation on a mobile phone with someone who does not believe in Covid. One of the text boxes says “how are we sure the virus wasn't made in a lab?” The conspiracy that I remember floating around was that the vaccine put chips in our arm to track us. I thought that one was completely ridiculous. A lot of people thought that the pandemic was planned out by the government purposely to walk us all in our homes.

In this video, we are shown eight different things that the US government doesn't want us to know.  After watching this video, it startled me because there's a lot that people don't know about the government. Something that stuck out to me was the fact that the government has records of all of our phone calls, messages, and more. It's pretty scary knowing that they listen to all of our conversations. Another thing that also surprised me, was that UFOs/area 51 are being researched. they haven't released any information but that's something that I would have liked to know.

Definition: Being “all natural” consists of looking after one's health and wellness by eating all natural foods, purchasing cruelty free items, etc. The red flag within this is some people looking at things like vaccines to be harmful since it’s not all necessarily natural. And eating things that are “natural” could contain diseases, etc.

Connection to pic/vid:  going outdoors is good for you, getting some vitamin D and some fresh air, but there are also dangers out there that are “all natural”. Pictured is the poison ivy plant and what it can do to you. A lot of people aren't cautious of the dangers around them in nature, so it's always good to be aware of your surroundings. Pictured on the right is the reaction when someone touches poison ivy.

Definition: Simplicity is an unexplainable coincidence that is sensed with one's psychic abilities. For example, having a dream that your sister had a baby and the next day your sister tells you she’s pregnant. Some can explain having these dreams or gut feelings as intuition or gut feelings, but no one really knows the explanation.

In this article, The writer states there could be two possible reasons as to why dreams come true. Some experts explain that when a person has a dream about something such as failing or passing a test, their actions might change the next day allowing them to pass or fail the test. If a dream comes true that hasn't had any sort of intervention, it's possible that the person witnessed some sort of clue that their brain remembered that could anticipate a certain outcome.

Can one's dreams foresee the future?

It's a question that has captivated cultures for as long as history has been recorded. Many attribute the predictive power of dreams to spirituality and divine intervention. Yet, regardless of the faith of any individual who enters the dream state, there are numerous instances in which dreams actually do come true in ways that were not anticipated. Most prophetic dreams do not bear spiritually significant meaning and hold no link to life-changing events.

Researchers have found that the brain's activity during sleep may explain the capacity of dreams to foretell the future.

The Science Behind Predictive Dreams

There are frequent stories of people who explain that they had dreams that unexpectedly came true. There are several possible explanations.

Some experts suggest that dreams may include events that a person has not necessarily thought through while awake. After dreaming of something, such as passing or failing a test, a student might begin to believe in the probability of either outcome. In this example, a student's behavior might change: he or she may study more or less for the test after the dream. This can happen because the dream may be considered a reflection of the most likely outcome, which becomes very life-like and powerful in the dream state. The power of dreams, however, only applies to outcomes that can be at least partially controlled by a person who knew of the dream.

However, some dreams come true without any intervention or "post-dream" action that could have been controlled by the dreamer or anyone who knew the content of the dream. Evidence points to the idea that dreams can also be a synthesis of a person's conscious and subconscious memories-a synthesis of real clues that make it easier to accurately anticipate the probability of certain outcomes. This theory also suggests that obvious clues may not be considered important until all the facts are pooled. Sometimes this occurs during sleep.

Dream Anatomy and Function

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is dependent on the intact structure and function of several areas of the brain. One study showed that patients who had suffered from bilateral lesions of the ventromesial region or the parieto-temporo-occipital junction lost the ability to dream during sleep. 1,2

And a few studies point to pattern recognition as a component of REM sleep. This suggests that there may be some linking of events that occurs during the dream state that does not always occur when awake. . . essentially putting concrete signs that are collected during waking hours together to form a reasonable deduction about their implications.

At the 24th Congress of European Sleep Research Society in Basel, Switzerland, in 2018, Bernd Feige, PhD, Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychophysiology, Medical Center, University of Freiburg, discussed the results of a study examining awakening thresholds and REM sleep perception in insomnia patients and good sleeper controls.

The study presents direct evidence that the subjective experience of insomnia may be specifically connected to the REM sleep state. Assuming that chronic hyperarousal is a relevant pathway for insomnia, this may become especially evidence during REM sleep, which in insomnia, reflects a hybrid sleep state coupled with altered sleep perception.

"We see a modified type of REM sleep which is experienced by the insomnia patients as being awake, and it has these dreams which are experienced as wake-like and we think it's like having a kind of nightmare, a very stressful dream that's about being awake," Feige said.

Sleep Paralysis and Hallucinations

Dreams are just one aspect of the processes that occur during REM sleep. Sleep paralysis and sleep hallucinations (also referred to as "sleep demons") are other experiences for some that can be incredibly frightening. Many describe the experience as waking in the middle of the night, fully aware of the surroundings but unable to move, paralyzed. As the seconds tick by, they become more and more frightened until they fall back asleep or slowly gain movement again. Others describe feeling a presence in the room with them.

And, yet, aside from the fright, they're harmless. They're simply the results of disrupted sleep. Still, that doesn't help quell the fear when they happen. Sleep disorder specialist Alicia Roth, PhD, a clinical health psychologist at Cleveland Clinic, spoke to what causes these conditions and what you should know if you ever experience them, noting that it "happens when there's a malfunction between REM sleep and wakefulness." These occurrences, she says, affect about 10% of the population.

"There are a lot of different things passing through your mind during REM sleep, some of which you remember as dreams," she continued. "And one of the ways our bodies protect us during this period of REM sleep is to paralyze us so that we don't act these things out in our sleep."

For those who experience sleep paralysis, the problem comes when there's a disruption in that transition between REM sleep and waking. "You're consciously waking up, but that protective paralysis from REM sleep hasn't fully subsided yet," Roth explained.

Definition: Agenticitiy is the tendency for a person to assign meaning/providing a story for an existing or non-existing force. For example, conspiracy theorists coming up with unique explanations for something that can better be explained as something else.

This video has 10 messages that supposedly have a message in it when it's played in reverse. For example, in the song Another One Bites the Dust, when a certain part is played in reverse it sounds like it says “it's fun to smoke marijuana.” Some other songs have much creepier messages that people tend to look into and think that the singer is trying to ask for help, but in reality I doubt that's the case, it's just a coincidence.

Definition: Patternicity is the tendency to find a pattern within a meaningless subject. A good example of this phenomenon is the activity “cloud watching.” Looking at the clouds which are random shapes in the sky and trying to see shapes or faces within them. Others can see faces in a wooden plank, and more.

Connection: In this photograph, there is a cloud that is shaped exactly like a horse. it's impossible for the cloud to actually be a horse so it's just a coincidence. Some may see a horse, some may see just a big fluffy cloud, it's all up to what the person perceives.
