Incorporation of details from waking life events into rapid eye movement (REM) sleep dreams has been found to be highest on the 2 nights after, and then 5-7 nights after, the event. These are termed, respectively, the day-residue and dream-lag effects. This study is the first to categorize types of waking life experiences and compare their incorporation into dreams across multiple successive...

Within the past couple of decades, art-historical scholarship has developed a more acute awareness of the need to reassess and re-evaluate its dominant narratives. It has become apparent that the value judgements that have guided modernist historiography can no longer be taken for granted, and there has been an ever-increasing demand for more diverse perspectives. One central issue which has...

Current HCI research overlooks an opportunity to create human-machine interaction within the unique cognition ongoing during dreams and drowsiness. During sleep onset, a window of opportunity arises in the form of Hypnagogia, a semi-lucid sleep state where we begin dreaming before we fall fully unconscious. To access this state, we developed Dormio, the first interactive interface for sleep,...

Primordial consciousness and its language undergirds numerous phenomena of everyday life. In addition to dreaming and mother-infant bonding, which were described in chapter 4 . Several of these are described, including the manifestly pathological (psychosis), and more ordinary phenomena including belief systems, ordinary and extreme, altered states of consciousness whose manifestations can seem...

The study of drug dreams has shown important implications for both the clinics and therapy of addiction rather than for general dream research and theory. Drug dreams are a phenomenon typical and exclusive of drug-addicted patients who, typically, show a craving for drugs. Drug dreams are a typical example of dreams that arise as a result of the deprivation of an important urge of the...

A sequence of studies followed, in quick succession, in which different parts of the brain were systematically removed in order to isolate the precise structures that produced rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Neuroscientific research into the mechanism of REM sleep continued along these lines, using a wide variety of methods, and by 1975 a detailed picture of the anatomy and physiology of...

Systematic research on Freud’s dream theory has been frequently hindered by the conviction that its hypothesis cannot be tested empirically. Actually, the studies on children’s dreams that I am presenting here are evidence of the contrary. These studies point out that it is possible to test empirically Freud’s hypotheses on the early forms of dreaming and that these tests are not irrelevant for...

In this chapter, I describe the formal characteristics of children’s dreams with respect to three indicators: the length of dream reports , the narrative complexity , and die measure of dream bizarreness.

The home-based study allowed the collection of dream reports from one child in two separate sessions at one year’s distance. Lisa (not her real name) was interviewed in the first session when she was four years and six months old, and later at five years and six months of age. Lisa was a good dream recaller. Apart from reporting, at the request of her mother, twelve dreams (five in the first...

This chapter draws on the inspiringly insightful writings of D. W. Winnicott to show how modern culture&s;s uncritical treating of children as if they are &s;mini-adults&s; may well be perpetrating untold harm on children&s;s development. Rudolf Steiner&s;s model of child development has many similarities to a Winnicottian view. In his archetypal developmental cosmology, and similarly to...
