وأهم هذه الدراسة وآلا إلى تحليل التشابه والاختلاف بين الهلوسة والحلم من منظور علم النفس وثورة الهند الإدراكية، من خلال التركيز على ثلاثة أبعاد هي: حالة الوعي، إسناد المصدر، والبنية الزمنية للتجربة. وظهرت الأدبيات العلمية أن الظاهرتين تتقاطعان في العلوم الحيوية الحسية والإحساس القويم بالواقعية، كما تشتركان في اعتمادهما على إنتاج المحتوى الإدراكي من خلال عزل عن جهاز الحسية المباشرة. غير أن...

Abstract Altered states of consciousness (ASC) refer to states that differ markedly from normal waking consciousness. ASC may occur spontaneously, such as in dreaming, or through consciousness modifying techniques, from meditation, to cannabis and psychedelics. The etymology behind the term psychedelic, meaning mind-manifesting, is based on the hypothesis that certain substances, including...

This essay explores the role of visual images in dream imagery as a space where unconscious processes intersect with historical forces. It offers a comparative reading in Freud's Interpretation of Dreams (1900) and Benjamin's Arcades Project (1982). Freud conceptualizes dream images as condensed memory traces that navigate between perception and hallucination, revealing repressed desires....

This reflective essay explores the educational significance of dream-based and intuitive knowledge through the lens of a field experience in the Peruvian Amazon. While participating in a course on sustainability and Indigenous knowledge, I encountered a member of the Ese Eja community who described how medicinal plant wisdom once came through dreams—through spiritual connection with the forest....

This article examines fabulation as a political practice, exploring its role in dismantling clichés and generating new possibilities for life. It draws a cosmic politics from Deleuze and Guattari's theory of literature and their metaphysics of dreams, more specifically, from the distinction between fiction and fabulation, and the role of the insomniac dream as the vision and audition of a...

Disorders of arousal from non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep are characterized by complex behaviors arising from incomplete awakenings. These behaviors can occasionally involve sophisticated motor actions and interactions with the environment. We report an apparently previously unreported case of a patient who repeatedly took photographs with a smartphone during somnambulistic episodes. A...

Consciousness can persist, transform, and dissolve across wakefulness, sleep, and advanced meditation. Despite empirical and theoretical advances within each domain, these states are rarely examined within an integrated scientific framework. An interdisciplinary perspective reveals converging phenomena that challenge binary accounts of consciousness and highlight its graded, dynamic, and...
