Perceptual and Motor Skills June 1998 J Houran
This note relates recent research on dream content to other findings on imaginal experiences which suggest that state or situational factors frequently define the content of experiences related to altered states of consciousness. As with hallucinatory, dissociative, and autohypnotic phenomena, dream content reflects a continuity between waking and imaginal experience.
Psychological Reports June 1, 1998 L L Brubaker
In the past in evolutionary psychology both dream theory and content have been largely ignored. Recently exploration of Freudian and Jungian ideas has begun, making a more extensive examination of dreaming desirable. Further, dream content analysis can provide data for testing evolutionary hypotheses concerning behavior.

"Poetry and Consciousness" brings together C. K. Williams's meditations on psychology, an epistemology of poems, considerations of poetry and its relations to history and to the novel, exploring the causes and consequences of that fruitful breakdown of language the author calls "narrative dysfunction." A former Guggenheim fellow, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, and noted...

We encountered three patients who had experienced hypnopompic visual night-time hallucinations. Their clinical manifestations resembled Charles Bonnet's syndrome and the content of their experiences were understood as attempts at wish fulfillment. However, abnormal REM findings were recognized on polysomnogram at the occurrence of visual hallucination in two cases. We speculated that...
Consciousness and Cognition March 1, 1998 J T Rowley, Robert Stickgold, J A Hobson
The nature and time course of sleep onset (hypnagogic) mentation was studied in the home environment using the Nightcap, a reliable, cost-effective, and relatively noninvasive sleep monitor. The Nightcap, linked to a personal computer, reliably identified sleep onset according to changes in perceived sleepiness and the appearance of hypnagogic dream features. Awakenings were performed by the...
Journal of Sleep Research March 1, 1998 Carlo Cipolli, R Bolzani, Giovanni Tuozzi
Four dream reports, collected from each of 16 subjects in an experimental night, were analysed using the criteria of Mandler and Johnson's story grammar. The experimental night was the first of the four nights where subjects had spontaneously given a dream report after each of the four awakenings planned in REM sleep. A multivariate analysis of covariance, taking the order of the nights where...
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences February 1, 1998 H Takao
Six dreams reported from neurotic patients in the therapy of Jungian analysis are presented to illustrate the symbolic meanings of islands in dreams. The island in dreams symbolizes (i) the entrance point into Jungian analysis, (ii) a complex in which a dreamer has got involved and (iii) the beginning of the newly organized ego consciousness. The multiple meanings of islands are suggested to...
Journal of Analytical Psychology 1998 James S. Grotstein
In the Freudian and Kleinian conception of unconscious mental life, credence is given to the existence and functioning of peremptory instinctual drives as the putative causation of all mental life, yet they are denied an organization or a personality. It is especially when we come to the notion of how dreams are created or how the free associations of an analytic hour are orchestrated that we...
Behavioural Neurology 1998 Gregory Stores
Background: Sleep paralysis is one of the many conditions of which visual hallucinations can be a part but has received relatively little attention. It can be associated with other dramatic symptoms of a psychotic nature likely to cause diagnostic uncertainty. Methods and results: These points are illustrated by the case of a young man with a severe bipolar affective disorder who independently...
International Journal of Group Psychotherapy 1998 J R Jacques
This article explores the analytic therapy group as a spiritual community that can deepen the implications of group transference. From this perspective, group-as-a-whole dynamics include a spiritual dimension in addition to the recapitulation of the family of origin. Clinical vignettes are introduced from a midphase group to illustrate a means of working with spiritual and religious themes...
