This note relates recent research on dream content to other findings on imaginal experiences which suggest that state or situational factors frequently define the content of experiences related to altered states of consciousness. As with hallucinatory, dissociative, and autohypnotic phenomena, dream content reflects a continuity between waking and imaginal experience.

This study compared 21 female adult psychiatric patients diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID) with 21 female adult nondissociative psychiatric patients to determine whether DID patients exhibit a distinguishing set of clinical features, and perceptual, attentional, and cognitive processes. Participants were assessed with the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule to assess...

We thank Stuart Hameroff for detailing the intellectual history of the Orch OR model. However, re-rooting its foundations in a form of monism begs more questions than it answers. Even ignoring the problematic conclusion that—then—all forms of matter (rocks, air, grass, protozoa etc.) have minds, we still find it hard to understand how his mind-component of matter influences the...

EEG data were recorded under field conditions from 11 members of the Santo Daime Doctrine, a Brazilian shamanistic religion, before and after ingesting the psychoactive alkaloid preparation, ayahuasca, or daime, as they term it. Post-ingestion, we observed increases in power in the 36-44 Hz frequency band ("40 Hz") from the left occipital-temporal-parietal scalp electrodes in the eyes-closed...
Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association 1998 L Aron, A Bushra
Regression is one of the most controversial topics in the psychoanalytic literature, and disagreements continue regarding a number of propositions central to the issue. On the one hand are those who maintain a traditional view that analysis facilitates regression, through both its setting and its method. On the other are critics from diverse theoretical schools, Freudian, Kleinian, and...

Mind machines are said to induce relaxation and an altered state of consciousness. The influence of optical-acoustic (OAS) and electrical stimulation (ES) mind machines on general well-being, electrodermal activity, and altered states of consciousness was investigated and compared with pure rest and a placebo. Thirty participants underwent 4 conditions in random sequence: rest, placebo...

Uma amostragem de pinturas rupestres da região do Médio São Francisco (Canyon Fonte Grande, Central, BA) foi comparada com motivos gráficos da arte Tukâno (Reichel-Dolmatoff 1978). Esses mesmos exemplos de pintura rupestre foram paralelamente comparados com os motivos fosfênicos utilizados por Lewis-Williams e Dowson (1987) em um modelo que tenta descrever a origem das representações rupestres...

Addressing work on consciousness published in this Journal allows me to bring relevant present-day material to bear on my ongoing exploration of James's stream. Instead of, as before, making use of an author's findings or ideas to improve our understanding of James's stream, I inquire into what each author has explicitly drawn from James's work in his or her article. I consider all fifteen...

Near-death experiences (NDEs) can be reproduced by ketamine via blockade of receptors in the brain for the neurotransmitter glutamate, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Conditions that precipitate NDEs, such as hypoxia, ischemia, hypoglycemia, and temporal lobe epilepsy, have been shown to release a flood of glutamate, overactivating NMDA receptors and resulting in neurotoxicity....
