Non-REM parasomnias: a scoping review of dreams and dreamlike mentation

Croatian Medical Journal December 1, 2022 Omolade Longe, A. Omodan, Guy Leschziner et al. 8 citations

A scoping review of 16 high-quality studies from high-income countries examined dream and dreamlike mentation content in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnias. Emotions such as apprehension and misfortune were associated with sleepwalking and sleep terrors. There was a scarcity of literature on sexsomnia, sleep-related eating disorder, and confusional arousal. The review concludes that collecting dream content immediately after NREM parasomnia episodes could reduce reporting bias and improve data quality.

Near death experience: neuroscience perspective

Croatian Medical Journal August 1, 2015 L. Konopka

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are reported by individuals who have faced life-threatening situations, and these experiences share identifiable features that suggest a transitional stage of consciousness. Cultural rituals surrounding death often frame it as a passage to another reality, which aligns with the fascination with NDEs. The text notes that while much is known about birth, maturity, and old age, death remains difficult to study scientifically, yet NDEs offer a window into the dying process.
