The Effects of Positive and Negative Pre-Sleep Stimuli on Dream Experiences

The Journal of Psychology 1988 Kimberly A. Carpenter 8 citations

In this study, the emotional and physical content of dreams was examined with post-sleep reports. In the first phase of the study, 45 students were asked to keep a dream diary for a week.

Results showed...

Dreams and purposes: an analysis of dream narratives in an independent African Church

Africa July 1, 1987 Simon Charsley 1 citation

Opening Paragraph Sampling provided the rationale of my previous account of ‘Dreams in an Independent African Church’ (1973). I took a set of ninety-five dream reports, and a handful of visions, as individual events which could be summed and categorised in a variety of ways. I had been able to garner these over a period of five months' study, from the services of this ‘Independent African...

What is a dream?

Behaviour Research and Therapy 1987 Martin E. P. Seligman, Amy Yellen 71 citations

Dreaming is held to consist of three elements: periodic, unrelated visual bursts, emotional episodes, and the cognitive synthesis of the first two. The theory predicts that there are two kinds of visual imagery in dreams: one vivid, detailed, colorful, large and in the center of the visual field. The other less vivid, less detailed, less colorful, smaller, and in the periphery. These vivid...

Studying the meaning of dreams: accurate definition of the independent variable.

Biological Psychiatry September 1, 1986 R C Smith

Studying the meaning of dreams is difficult and subject to many methodological pitfalls. One of these is vagueness and inconsistancy in defining dream content variables that are used as independent measures. This study evaluated the effect, upon accurate definition of the independent variable, of repeating the dream report and of using associative content as dream material. The importance of...

THE TRANSCENDENT FUNCTION OF THE BILATERAL BRAIN

Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science June 2, 1986 Virginia Ross

Abstract. A “transcendent function,” which integrates conscious and unconscious elements, can be characterized for the human mind. From Carl Jung's model of four basic functions of the psyche—thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition—a modified compass of the psyche is constructed to conform to the neurobio‐logical structure of the bilateral brain. The transcendent function can be correlated...

Sleep June 1, 1986 Carlos H. Schenck, S R Bundlie, M G Ettinger et al.

Four men, aged 67-72 years, had 4-month to 6-year histories of injuring themselves or their spouses with aggressive behaviors during sleep, often during attempted dream enactment. A 60-year-old woman had disruptive though nonviolent sleep and dream behaviors. Polysomnography did not detect seizures but did document REM sleep pathology with variable loss of chin atonia, extraordinarily increased...
