What is a sender and what do they do?
"A 'sender' in another room would then attempt to send an image, randomly selected from a pool of images, to the receiver by focusing on the image during the detected dream states."

"The Repast of the Lion Henri Rousseau (May 21, 1844 - September 2, 1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naive or Primitive manner. He is also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer) after his place of employment. Ridiculed during his life, he is now seen as an untaught genius whose works are of the highest artistic quality. Henri Rousseau was born in 1844 in a city called Laval. He did not start painting until he was forty. Before that, having served in the army, he then worked in a tollbooth on the edge of Paris. Rousseau had never had any artistic training, and was not influenced by any particular art school. Typically he would start by drawing a landscape such as a stunning view or a favourite part of a city and paint a person in the foreground. He called this "portrait landscape". Rousseau’s most famous paintings are of jungles which is surprising because Henri never saw a jungle, he never left France, but he got his inspiration from illustrated books and the botanical gardens in Paris."

Sender Target Instructions:
Those sending shall use an image selected by the judges for the experiment. An example is that of Repast of the Lion.
Lindblom
Using "Repast of the Lion" as a dream target.
"In one experiment, Henri Rousseau's painting Repast of the Lion, in which a lion is biting into the body of a smaller animal, was selected as the dream target.
The dreamer had several dreams about and animals. In one dream, about dogs, "the two of them had been fighting before.
You could kind of see their jaws were open and you could see their teeth.. .. It?s almost as though could be dripping from their teeth."
For this particular dreamer, the judges confirmed that five of eight dreams corresponded to the image that was sent.
The odds against a chance explanation for this outcome were over one thousand to one.
The onides studies are classics in dream research, and they strongly suggest that dreams are an avenue of nonlocal communication between separate, distant persons."

Goals:
1.) investigation of bias, epistemology and criteria selection,
2.) determination of relevant researchable questions for subsequent replication studies,
3.) identification of the calumniators of bias and identify ethical issues,
4.) identification of research criteria and
5.) to design, propose and define methodology, research design, data analysis formats, falsifiabilty and ways to determine results.
6.) The sixth section would be to assemble data and arrange publication strategy to demonstrate receiver ability.

The Process of Communication

"David Berlo's SMCR (1960) proposes that there are five elements within both the source/encoder and the receiver/decoder which will affect fidelity.
Source<>Receiver relationship
Berlo's approach is rather different from what seems to be suggested by the more straightforward transmission s in that he places great emphasis on dyadic communication, therefore stressing the rôle of the relationship between the source and the receiver as an important variable in the communication process.
As you will see from what follows, he enumerates what are the factors to be taken into account at each 'end' of the communication. Thus, for example, in principle, the more highly developed the communication skills of the source and the receiver, the more effectively the message will be encoded and decoded. In fact, however, the relationship between skill level of receiver and source needs to be taken into account, since, as Berlo points out:
A given source may have a high level of skill not shared by one receiver, but shared by another. We cannot predict the success of the source from her skill level alone."
