I examined the associations among sleep-related experiences (e.g., hypnagogic hallucinations, nightmares, waking dreams, lucid dreams), dissociation, schizotypy and the Big Five personality traits in two large student samples. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that (a) dissociation and schizotypy are strongly correlated—yet distinguishable— constructs and (b) the differentiation between...
Dreaming March 1, 2009 Jayne Gackenbach 29 citations
Lucid dreams, as well as control dreams, have recently been reported as associated with video game play (Gackenbach, 2006). In this study, dreams were collected from the morning after a night of rested sleep as well as electronic media use from the day before the dream. In a factor analysis, lucid and control dreams were associated with all electronic media use but most strongly with video game...

Ketamine is an N-methyl-D: -aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with psychotogenic effects and for which there are diverse reports of whether pleasant or unpleasant dreams result during anaesthesia, post-operatively or after sub-anaesthetic use. To assess in healthy volunteers the incidence of unpleasant dreams over the three nights after receiving a sub-anaesthetic dose of ketamine, in...
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory February 28, 2009 Erin J. Wamsley, John S. Antrobus
Research in animals has demonstrated that patterns of neural activity first seen during waking experience are later "replayed" during sleep, in hippocampal and cortical networks. The characteristics of memory reactivation during human sleep, however, have not yet been fully described. Meanwhile, the possible relationship of dreaming to this "replay" of memories in the sleeping brain is entirely...

In this dissertation I develop a theoretical framework for the practice of dream reading as a form of literary engagement worthy of attention from educators. Dream reading is a form of research in which the researcher takes responsibility for self-reflection and potential transformation of self through the construction of knowledge based on “reading” literary fictive images as if they arose...

A meditation-dream proving, yielding interesting results, was conducted with seven participants for the particularly beautiful and culturally renowned Quetzal bird that resides in the mountainous cloud forests of Central America. Secondly, two cases verify a preliminary idea for the North American game bird in the pheasant family known as the Ruffed Grouse.

Cognitive skill improvement associated with video game play has been well documented showing a range of improved abilities from spatial skills to problem solving and general intelligence. The implications for consciousness and it’s development have not been as widely examined. Recent research into the emergence of consciousness in sleep as related to video game play has suggested one...

Two opposite worlds are represented in the traditionalistic discourse about the Markovo village of Chukotka: the traditional world of the older generation, and the modern world of the young people.While elders are regarded as keepers of indigenous knowledge and shamanic powers, it is thought that youngsters who are living in the present-day urbanized village have lost connection with all these...
