Hey I'm the guy who posted about /dream/ being merged with /docta/ being a poor pairing. The post was deleted during the NSA meddling. I think /mind/ may be a good fit from a Freudian perspective, but docta's theme is totally dissonant from /dream/ and I honestly don't feel like /docta/ ever lacked activity as suits a board that requires thoughtful, personalized response.


I've been thinking, there are a lot of boards /dream/ would fit in better than /docta/, /wri/ I already mentioned, and /regs/ could also work as "Dreams and Psychedelics."


But, then I remembered a book I read on keeping a ghost journal. It's the same concept as a dream journal. If you think your house is haunted, and things go bump in the night, you are supposed to record every supernatural occurrence. So why not put /dream/ with /x/? Many cultures believed dreams were a communication with the spirit world, and a lot of paranormal events are probably misinterpreted dreams to begin with. Perhaps the /dream/ mentality would motivate people to keep a paranormal journal as well. We could see a shift away from referential content, alas the weekly world news, to user generated content.

/foil/ could go to /pol/, since their beef seems mostly political. Post Snowden, most of the discussion is actually legitimate political beef. There hasn't even been a single post about alien mind control on foil, so I don't see how you justify this as being paranormal.

Philosophy can go to /lit/, as it is a literary medium in its own right, and knowledge of philosophy is vital to much of literary criticism. One could argue there is no difference between the two types of critique, they are both incestuous and unfailingly referential, not to mention mutually comprehensible. Politics on the other hand, is only a small subset of philosophy, and I don't feel like /pol/ traditionally has the patience or desire to deal with such erudite topics.
