Hello I am Jadin also known as Zalkari on this site and today I will give a lesson on the Basics or Fundamentals of Research. Step 1 Get what you wish to know, for example: I want to know what would be helpful with reducing nightmare. Step 2 Go to the search bar or a search engine or even type it in the URL bar at the top of the browser. Type: Nightmare prevention technique s Something less wordy? Type: Stop nightmares. Step 3 Click on any of the links given. Usually .org is pretty reliable, but some .com sites are legitimate. Let's try this link:http://m.kidshealth.org/teen/expert/sleep/expert_nightmares.html Alright a Medical Doctor replied to this. There is even a link to whom she is. Now let's do an essential step to verify. Cross Referencing. Meaning check other sites to see of the information matches up. Look at this link: http://io9.com/5952296/the-science-of-nightmares-++-and-how-to-stop-them The information on both adds up. They match. So this is how you cross-reference. Step 4 Pat yourself on the back. You have successfully researched techniques to stop nightmares. You also have learned what a nightmare is. There's other sources than just the web. There's books. Encyclopedias. Doctors. Thanks for reading. Oh you must read a lot ;)
