- Dream world (universe) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Misleading title, not enclyopedic, the science of dreams does not recognize anything called a 'Dream World', less this it's simply a list of dream sequences in fiction, which is not encyclopedic Lil' Dice (yeah, I said it!) - talk 16:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Shows what you know. Keep the article. People will need to know what a "dream world" is. Angie Y. 17:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've actually read quite a few journal articles and books on Dreaming, and no where do they mention a "dream world". There are also zero sources on this article, which is another problem. This is nothing personal, I just simply don't feel this is a worth-while article. Lil' Dice (yeah, I said it!) - talk 17:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

- Strong Keep / Rename - Dream worlds' are a frequently used plot device in fiction. I agree the title is misleading; change to Dream world (Plot device)? Think outside the box 12:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with that. Angie Y. 17:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Kommentar That raises up the issue of tracking down attributable sources that specifically refer to that as a topic. If you're willing to track them down, then I'll consider changing my vote. JuJube 12:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- A Nightmare on Elm Street has a lot about dream worlds used as plot devices and Lucid dreaming in popular culture references many good examples. Think outside the box 10:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't expect me to get those sources for you. You have to find them on your own. JuJube 17:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete and rewrite If you're going to rename this to Dream Universe (plot device) then you need to remove the whole opening false paragraph about dream universes being part of the science of Dreams. They are not. The science of Dreams talks of dreams as what they are -- hallucinations, not alternate universes or planes. 17:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've created the article Dream world (Plot device) and copied the revenant content from this article to there. I've also rewritten the opening paragraph and added more about how it is used as a plot device. Think outside the box 10:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and delete Anything that needs to be preserved should go to Dream world (plot device). Goldfritha 23:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
