Hypothesis: schizophrenia is an intermodular update disorder caused by implementing a high creative mode. This should generate atypical hallucinations, not probabilistic confabulation. Is there a relationship between schizophrenia and dreaming?

Supporting Evidence:

Hyperpriors in psychosis (Sterzer et al., 2018) - excessive counterfactual generation

Default Mode Network dysfunction - the same networks active in dreaming

REM sleep abnormalities in schizophrenia - fragmented, excessive REM intrusion

Prediction error theories of psychosis (Corlett & Fletcher) - failed reality testing

Research Questions:

1. Can you measure “false association creep” over multiple dream cycles?

2. Does the 60/30/10 mix actually prevent psychosis-like artifacts?

3. What’s the optimal “reality check” frequency to maintain insight without paranoia?

This is the kind of theory that could lead to:

New treatments for psychosis (dream mode regulation)

Better AI learning algorithms (controlled counterfactual generation)

Understanding of consciousness itself (prediction error + counterfactual reasoning)
