You can argue this both ways. Most of the time I am not following the moon.

There are studies to back this up, both behavioral and at the personal level.
I would say that it depends on the sensitivity of the individual.

Menstration is tied to the moon (28 day cycle). Further, many animals are in sync with nature. It is just a question of sensitivity.
It is nothing personal if you are not in touch with it. We create our realities and in large part our physical responsiveness to the environment due to beliefs, diet, etc.

The bigger question here is why humanity has, for the most part, lost that connection, however obvious it is (to some of us)...

Sorry, but I studied crime in school at the bachelors and masters level. I've seen the numerous studies. The only counter argument that has any validity is that it is lighter outside during full moons, but criminals tend to like darker places...

You can comment upon anothers experiences but that is all you can do. It is quite individual. I'll go with the "primitive" peoples of the world who understand the dream world better. Speaking of, I have studied dreams for years and the correlation between full moons and dreaming is quite obvious. Now, if you practice recording dreams for 10+ years like me and you have first hand experience, then I'm all ears. But I have a feeling that most that comment, well, are just commenting.

This is entirely true.  And it highlights the power of our minds to overcome physical reality, at least within the bounds of our bodies.

Let me correct myself. Possible more crime during a full moon because of the full moon's effects (other than extra light) is a myth.

It's called the placebo effect.

And even if it weren't there's a whole plethora of more plausible explanations - such as, off the top of my head, it being possible for criminals to see more without artificial light - before we need to start looking to tiny gravitational and magnetic differences as have any likelihood of affecting our behaviour!

It's like the homoeopathy thing.  I won't deny some people who go to homeopaths feel or even get better.  But until experiments can isolate 'water memory' as being the most likely factor there's a long list of probable causes to explore before we can reasonably assume there is anything in it.

Yes, and isn't that fantastic? What's also magnificent is through our discovery, exploration and development of scientific principles and methods we have a means of differentiating between stuff that just seems like it ought to explain something and the times where correlation actually does mean causation.

Having said that I'm tending towards thinking we need the dreamers to come up with really random propositions unhindered by too much knowledge of how things work and how we know stuff - so that the more methodical of us have things to test for!  Even if 99.9999% of them turn out to be baseless every now and again we will come across something that is potentially world-changing - and that has to be worth the price

Apologies if that was a bit deep for this time of day (if you're anywhere in the region of GMT)

For example, researchers Ivan Kelly, James Rotton, and Roger Culver, in their study "The Moon was Full and Nothing Happened" (published in the book "The Hundredth Monkey and Other Paradigms of the Paranormal," 1991) examined more than 100 studies of alleged lunar effects and found no significant correlation between phases of the moon and disasters, homicide rates, etc. Furthermore, there is no known mechanism by which the moon would somehow influence a person's mind to make him more dangerous—except of course for his own expectations.

Weird how people still believe in these ancient ridiculous myths which have been proven false over and over again.

You're looking for a pattern which isn't there. You ignore it every time it does not happen.

It might even be expected behaviour. You know it's gonna be full moon so you're gonna act differently because you want to believe.

More crime during full moon is a myth.
And there can be several reasons why you think you dream more intensly during full moon.

If the moon affects behavior enough to show marketable increases in crime, then why not buying behaviors? (Ever wonder where the word "Lunatic" came from?)
I know my dream intensity increases during full moons and I've seen too many children have trouble sleeping during them, so something does look like it is being affected.

We are not just walking around on a planet, we are a part of it and the Universe we live in. Our habits are influenced by everything,... grasshopper. 
(And then there is the Quantum Physics perspective if you prefer.)

Yes and we have the makings of a 3rd straight day of higher prices on progressively lower volume. This happened last week on the 9-11 (no pun) and we wen't down afterwards. It is a tell tale downward formation (if it holds)...

Ignore mode, activate.

Yawn. 

Actually, including moon cycles is a standard feature in nearly every bitcoin charting service... from bitcoinity to clarkmoody. Who needs complex indicators when you've got the tide on your side?

Where is this graph from?
