Paul Tholey
Psychologist, Deceased Person
1937 – 1998
Who was Paul Tholey?
Paul Tholey was a German Gestalt psychologist, and a professor of psychology and sports science.
Tholey started the study of oneirology in an attempt to prove that dreams occur in color. Given the unreliability of dream memories and following the critical realism approach, he used lucid dreaming as an epistemological tool for investigating dreams, in a similar fashion to Stephen LaBerge. He devised the reflection technique for inducing lucid dreams, consisting in continuously suspecting waking life to be a dream, in the hope that such a habit would manifest itself during dreams.
