I found information about ASD on line. Many people in the general population are skeptical about dreams and are unwilling to talk about dreams at all.
Some organizations seem to want to be an ultimate authority on dreams and dream interpretation etc.
ASD seems to have open-ended acceptance of various views about dreams. This makes it possible for people with various views to share experiences with dreams without having one's own experience invalidated by self appointed authorities. Along with this is the willingness to take an experimental approach to dreaming and the willingness to subject various ideas to testing. A doll baby has been given information over a period of time. The people giving the information did not think of the doll baby as being alive but thought of him as some object.
