During the three months before and the three months after a major earthquake in California, students at a college there happened to be keeping a record of their dreams. █████ ████████████ ███ ███████████ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ████████ ████████ █████ ████████████ ██████ ███ ████ ███ ███████ █ █████ ██ ███████ ████████ ██ ███████ ███ ███ █████ ███████████ ██ ██████████ ████ ████████ █████ ███████ ██████ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ███████ ████████ ████████ █████ ████████████ ██ ██ ██ █████ ████ ████████████ ██ ██████████ ███ █████ ██████ ██ █████ █████ ████████████
The author hypothesizes that experiencing an earthquake can cause people to dream about earthquakes. This is based on a study where students in California who had experienced an earthquake later dreamed about earthquakes, while students in Ontario, Canada who hadn’t experienced an earthquake didn’t dream about earthquakes.
The author assumes that the students in California hadn’t dreamed about earthquakes before experiencing one. If that were the case, then the connection between experiencing an earthquake and dreaming about earthquakes would be tenuous.
