Apologies in advance if anybody here, or elsewhere on the internet has come up with this theory. I'll claim it as my own until somebody points out otherwise
This came to me the other day as I was musing over what EVPs could actually be if they are not a form of Pareidolia.
I wont say 'dont fight the hypothetical' but just hang in there and consider my thoughts if you will please.
Ok, so I love the topic of lucid dreaming. It is both a fascinating scientific & psychological area of study.
I'll try & keep it as brief as I can.
Whether you are lucid in a dream or non-lucid, all of us from time to time meet these dream-characters. Now assuming they are not visitors into your dream from someplace else they are (one hopes!) part(s) of your own subconscious mind. Be they young, old, man, woman, child etc.
Now anecdotal reports state that some of these dream-characters appear to be more sentient than others. Some act Zombie-like, some disagree that you are in a dream, some agree that you are. Various funny & sometimes scary responses come from these dream-characters.
Disclaimer - I do not have an academic background in Psychology, so I am not sure if the next bit of my theory holds water. If this is the case, then I am sure somebody will point this out to me.
Ok, so do these dream-characters still exist when a person is awake? I am not sure even the boffins know this answer fully, or maybe its more of a philosophical discussion?
But, assuming that these dream-characters are still roaming about in your subconscious, even when you are awake. Could (and here is the leap of faith/reasoning) these dream-characters be using a latent form of telepathy & somehow be imprinting their voices onto the recording equipment?
Furthermore, if you are priming yourself when entering a supposedly haunted location that bad/spooky stuff is going to happen on a ghost watch, could a person be unwittingly triggering these facets of their own mind into saying bad things?
I mean lets face it, most (although not all) EVPs are of the more creepy instead of nice factor. A little bit like somebody watches a horror film then has a bad dream, but this is more a manifestation of your subconscious when you are awake.
Thanks for reading folks.
