Consciousness, Dreams, and the Observer Effect: A Research Design Toward the Simulation Hypothesis

This study explores patterns of consciousness during dream and meditation states, with a particular focus on how these altered states might reflect observer-dependent phenomena. Inspired by the Quantum Eraser Experiment, it considers whether measurable differences in EEG data could support aspects of the simulation hypothesis. Though written outside of formal academic training, the paper merges intuitive observation with scientific literature, aiming to open a dialogue between inner experience and empirical inquiry.
