This article aims to show that Giovanni Piana’s work provides a valuable and coherent outline for a phenomenology of the unconscious. After a necessary introduction to the topic as it appears in Piana’s writings, the analysis develops along three main lines of inquiry. First, Piana’s account of the structure of consciousness is reconstructed, highlighting its critical distance from the Freudian...

Dreams often incorporate recent waking experiences, but whether the relationship between dream content and subsequent memory depends on the state of the memory before sleep remains unclear. In this exploratory study, fifteen participants learned novel word-definition-image associations across a four-day home-based protocol. Dream reports were collected after serial awakenings following initial...

Nightmares are distressing sleep experiences associated with emotional difficulties, impaired daytime functioning, and reduced sleep quality. Although imagery rescripting (IR) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing nightmare-related distress among adults, evidence regarding its applicability in children remains limited, particularly in Japan. IR is thought to operate, at least in part, by...

Goals. The article aims to analyze the functioning of сүнс concept in the works of twenty-first century Mongolian authors. In recent times, modern Mongolian writers and poets have frequently incorporated images of various demonological figures into their texts. In our view, this stems from a desire to engage the reader by offering something mysterious, inexplicable, or supernatural....

This conceptual paper explores the relationship between inner speech, auditory imagery, dreaming and voice-hearing, drawing on neuroscience, psychology and philosophy of mind. It examines how agency, ownership, speaker identity and source attribution contribute to our...

When a person compares two apparent sizes, what warrants saying that their relation actually appears, and that the organised physical comparison itself bears that appearance? This two-document research contribution develops a positive, explicitly scoped answer. It distinguishes producing a correct comparison, experiencing a relation, and identifying the physical activity that bears the...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Contemporary addiction models typically treat craving as a persistent vulnerability requiring ongoing management. This N-of-1 case study examines whether intensive Satipaṭṭhāna (mindfulness) practice can alter the experiential structure of craving itself, rather than merely helping a person tolerate or redirect it. METHODS:Longitudinal self-observation by a physician with...

This article examines a possible Indigenous conception of consciousness based on the reflections and visionary practices of the onanya (wisdom keepers of the Shipibo-Konibo nation), in contrast to the reductionist interpretations of neuroscience. While the latter tends to explain consciousness as a mere product of the brain, Indigenous reflections understand it as a relational faculty that...

Abstract Post-traumatic stress disorder is frequently associated with post-traumatic nightmares, which may be related to cortical hyperarousal. Imagery Rehearsal Therapy is the first-line treatment for nightmares. Targeted Memory Reactivation, which reactivates specific memories during sleep to enhance memory consolidation, has been shown to enhance the effects of Imagery Rehearsal Therapy in...
