O presente artigo resulta de uma composição dos autores. Os desenhos realizados pelos MAHKU – Movimento dos Artistas Huni Kuin – a partir dos cantos huni meka, cantos do nixi pae (ayahuasca), são motivos para o comentário de Ibã Huni Kuin e sua forma de tradução da linguagem dos cantos que ele denomina “pôr ou colocar no sentido”. Na primeira parte faz-se uma breve apresentação da trajetória do...

Cognitive dream theory is based on observations of the parallels between dreaming and waking cognition, the so-called ‘continuity hypothesis’. Many studies indicate that sleep and dreaming contribute to storing and consolidating elements of memory in various systems with differing functions. Robert Hoss, a former president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, has described...

One of the most salient features of dreams is the continual appearance of characters and the interactions between them. Personification appears as interactions between the dream self and other characters, and general patterns become more obvious than in waking life. Aspiring to simulate human reality, artificial intelligence research has found that practical intelligence does not work through...

The hypothesis explored in this book, expanding on Tiemeyer’s article in VT 58 (2008), pp. 573–94, is that the vision cycle in Zech. 1:8 – 6:8 is not a purely literary invention but is based on an actual visionary experience. Tiemeyer sees the eight vision accounts as relatively unprocessed and under-interpreted reports of what Zechariah actually saw, whereas the interspersed oracular material...

“The revolution of man is the revolution of his mind”. It implies the possibility of thinking beyond himself, to understand his raison d'être, as a criticism of his own material activity, that locks him out in a perpetual animal state. As the German philosopher Georg Simmel implies in his philosophical work, man is the only animal that refines itself by looking beyond himself. As we cling to...

Transhumanism is dedicated to freeing humankind from the limitations of biological life, creating new bodies that will carry us into the future. In seeking freedom from the constraints of nature, it resembles ancient Gnosticism, but complicates the question of what the human being is. In contrast to the perspective that we are our brains, I argue that human consciousness and subjectivity...

The conclusion speculates about what it would mean to continue where Merleau-Ponty left off. If throughout his writings, he criticized all ideologies of transparency (the self’s transparency to itself, the transparency of knowledge to the self, or the transparency to the self of others), this also entails to accept that to return to the things themselves doesn’t mean that there could be an...

Parasomnias are defined as undesirable physical events or experiences that occur during entry to sleep, within sleep, or during arousals from sleep. The non REM (NREM) parasomnias include confusional arousals, sleepwalking, and sleep terrors. In children, NREM parasomnias occur out of stage N3 (first part of the night) but in adults can occur out of stages N1 or N2 during any part of the night....

Lucid dreaming is a rare phenomenon, therefore different induction techniques are used to increase the lucid dream frequency. In the present study three cognitive methods were tested: Dream diary, Wake-up-back-to-Bed, and reality testing/reflection. Altogether, 110 participants completed the three-week study protocol. The present findings showed that although the overall effects were not...

This chapter explores the notion of time in waking dreams as described by Carl Jung in his technique of active imagination and in Robert Desoille’s Directed Waking Dream method. It focuses on the subjective experience of time while a person is engaged in them and on key therapeutic issues related to the time factor. A daydream is usually a passive imaginative activity used as a wish-fulfilment...
