Disjunctive cognition

"[6] Such dreams are usually not experienced as bizarre, despite the fact that such a statement in waking life would be considered psychotic.I was tall and lanky like Katharine Hepburn, but not particularly attractive (Fosshage and Loew, 1987, p. 10).”[7] Disjunctive cognition can also involve time perception.It is much less common to perceive the opposite: dreaming of oneself as a child, where the time and place are that of one's adulthood.They had not aged since we were together sixty-three years ago in Prague, and their faces expressed amazement that I had grown older.Another commonplace bizarreness of dreams is the interobject, in which the dreamer sees something between two objects, as in: I dreamt of something "between a swimming pool and an aqueduct," or "between a cell-phone and a baby".This has led researchers to ask how people determine a specific character in a dream is their "mother" or "themselves" if they do not physically appear to be.
