One study examining dreams after the 9/11 attacks found that not a single one of 880 dreams involved planes hitting tall buildings or similar scenarios, and no scenes were close to the actual attacks.
“One study examining dreams after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 found that “not a single one of the 880 dreams (440 of them after 9/11) involved planes hitting tall buildings or similar scenarios, even though all the participants had seen these events many times on television (and it was clearly an emotionally important experience). No scenes were pictured that were even close to the actual attacks”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
