Jennifer Windt and Evan Thompson talk about white dreams as possible forms of dreamless sleep in their exchange about Indian theories! I can’t remember if this stuff made it into the TiCS paper that they wrote together though!

Yes, we talk about white dreams in the TICS paper. That paper developed out of the exchange Jenny and I had for the
@OpenMIND_News volume.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
And my @OpenMIND_News paper was in turn derived from my chapter on dreamless sleep in Waking, Dreaming, Being. I was really happy that we got to do a version for @TrendsCognSci together with @MangoTore
