Study of the phenomenology of dreams and waking dreams shows that to a large extent dream structure is determined by the representation of space. The spatial aspect of dreams has a personal significance which can be interpreted in the framework of existential analysis.

The functions and dysfunctions of slow wave sleep and of REM sleep and its associated dreams have a tremendous significance in understanding the psychosomatic model of illness and in establishing preventive strategies. Ten patients suffering from a variety of psychosomatic illnessess spent 3-4 nights sleeping at the Dream Laboratory. A psychiatric evaluation was carried out and those suffering...

This paper reviews studies that have examined associations between unusual sleep experiences (including nightmares, vivid dreaming, narcolepsy symptoms, and complex nighttime behaviors) and dissociation and schizotypy. Using correlational studies and structural analyses, evidence is provided that unusual sleep experiences, dissociation, and schizotypy belong to a common domain. It is...

Phantom limb sensations in the waking state and in dreams were examined in 84 limb-amputated patients. These phenomena were divided into complete, reduced, intermittent and nonexisting phantom limb. Common features as well as differences between the phantom limb in the waking state and in dreams were characterized and illustrated by casuistics and dream reports. Thus it was shown that nearly...

Abstract Depersonalization (DP) is classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‐IV‐TR) as a dissociative disorder defined as “persistent or recurrent experiences of feeling detached from, and as if one is an outside observer of, one's mental processes or body (e.g. feeling like one is in a dream)” (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000, p. 532). DP...

What certainty is there for personal survival after death? Five key authors, critically analysed in this thesis, think that OB/ND experiences offer such assurances. Most OB/ND events follow severe clinical crises profoundly embarrassing cerebral function. At the nadir of brain function, invariably resulting in unconsciousness, authors aver that the escape of soul (Sabom), mind, or free...

L’idée de soigner par l’intermédiaire d’un psychotrope semble, pour un observateur occidental, inconcevable. Cette pratique s’observe néanmoins auprès de la population indigène shipibo-conibo en Amazonie occidentale et s’explique par leur cosmologie particulière. Ainsi, la plupart des entités du milieu (arbres, cours d’eau, astres) sont considérées comme des microcosmes, abritant des...

An abundant recall of dreams has been observed in clinical studies on patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy (NC), a neurological disorder characterized by an altered sleep architecture. Laboratory studies have shown that dream experiences developed during 1st-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep by NC patients are longer and more complex than those of healthy subjects. To establish whether these...

The purpose of this review is to identify and propose solutions for the conceptual and methodological problems that arise in attempting to establish a relationship between a prior waking stimulus and subsequent dream content. There have been a number of approaches used to determine whether there is a link between waking experience and dream content. The results have been equivocal and have...

We review the literature on the neurobiology of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep states and associated dreams. REM is associated with enhanced activation of limbic and amygdalar networks and decreased activation in dorsal prefrontal regions while stage II NREM is associated with greater cortical activation than REM. Not surprisingly, these disparate brain...
