		<description><![CDATA[What are recurring dreams?

Recurring dreams are collection of images and sounds that repeatedly occur in our sleep, rhetoric dreams with the same events of small variation or changes. It is not always the same, but the composition and settings remains the same. Sometimes they often include circumstances from the dreamer's accumulated knowledge or skills, and may take the form of a nightmare, but it is not always like that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1972, Thomas Nagel first introduced what is now known as the "epistemic gap" amongst contemporary philosophers. It was described in his paper "What Is It Like To Be A Bat?" and the gist of the argument was this: one cannot fully understand the mind unless one is experiencing that mind.

Nagel took the example of a bat because bats are so fascinatingly different than humans; they hang upside down most of the time, use echolocation, they are nocturnal, and most eat nothing but insects. Could a human ever convincingly claim that he knew what it was like to be a bat? Nagel didn't believe this was possible - I agree.

Can the same be true amongst humans? Can another human fully understand the mind of another, or, does one have to be in the first-person to understand the mind more clearly?

Philosopher Frank Jackson wrote a paper in 1982 titled "Epiphenomenal Qualia" where he introduced the famous thought experiment known as Mary's room.]]></description>
