Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the results of all meta-analyses on anomalous cognition conducted between 1989 and 2021 in order to find moderators associated with greater effect sizes. Method: We included all meta-analyses of studies related to anomalous cognition published up to 2021. Results: Our dataset, accumulated over more than 80 years of investigation, refers to 11...
Information on dream interpretation is always interesting to study, especially when it is connected with mystical things. Due to limited abilities, not anyone can interpret dreams. Only people who are given a ‘gift’ can read about it. This research tries to interpret dreams that the sources from manuscripts entitled the Book of Tetamba. This book was written in Pegon script and Arabic and used...
Activating Memories During Sleep Found to Reduce NightmaresiStock/cyano66Using sounds to activate positive memories during sleep may boost the effectiveness of a daytime therapy for nightmare disorder called image rehearsal therapy (IRT)." Nightmare disorder is characterized by dreams with strong negative emotions occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep," wrote a team of researchers...
The spatiotemporal dynamics of interaction between slow (delta or infraslow) waves and fast (gamma) activities during wakefulness and sleep are yet to be elucidated in human electrocorticography (ECoG). We evaluated phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), which reflects neuronal coding in information processing, using ECoG in 11 patients with intractable focal epilepsy. PAC was observed between slow...
Altered states of consciousness (ASC) occur when there is a deviation from normal levels of psychological functioning. They can be self-induced through meditative practices or taking psychoactive substances and therapeutically induced through processes like hypnotic induction. They are determined physiologically when brain rhythms drop from the usual rhythm of waking consciousness to the slower...
Abstract Psychedelics lead to profound changes in subjective experience and behaviour, which are typically conceptualised in psychological terms rather than corresponding to an altered brain state or a distinct state of arousal. Here, we performed chronic electrophysiological recordings from the cortex concomitant with pupillometry in freely moving adult male mice following an injection of a...
Study objectives: Trauma associated sleep disorder is a proposed parasomnia that develops after trauma with clinical features of trauma related nightmares, disruptive nocturnal behaviors, and autonomic disturbances. The purpose of this case series is to better characterize the clinical and video-polysomnographic features of patients meeting clinical criteria for this proposed parasomnia....

AIM: To establish patterns or themes of dreams and dreamlike mentation content reported in all forms of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnias and to identify gaps in the current understanding of this topic. METHODS: A scoping review of available evidence on dreams and dreamlike mentation in NREM parasomnias was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. We searched...

Dream's emotions could exert a major role in desensitizing negative emotions. Studying emotional dynamics (how emotions fluctuate across time) during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep could provide some insight into this function. However, studies so far have been limited to dream reports. To bypass this limit, REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), in which participants enact their dreams, enables...
Freud’s approach to dream interpretation starts with the dream report, is followed by the generation of a “preamble” that explains the details in the dream, and then, the elicitation of free-associations to successive segments of the dream—which lead to interpretations. The first example of the procedure is illustrated not with a dream but a parapraxis (a Freudian slip) involving the forgetting...
