The possibility of learning to remember dreams was explored with the cooperation of a group of participant-observers who maintained dream diaries for 12 weeks and were selected on the basis of their desire to experience improved dream recall. A self-administered dream recall rating scale was devised which provided measures of several aspects of memory for dreams. The participants apparently...

The present study was an attempt to describe and contrast a variety of states of consciousness. The results indicate that dreams, hypnagogic and hypnopompic experiences, depersonalization, déjà vu, synesthesia, and daydreams can be differentiated by means of a series of descriptive characteristics.

У статті здійснено огляд сучасної методології дослідження змісту сновидінь. Окреслено два ключові підходи до вивчення феномену сновидінь – об’єктивний, що фіксує особливості активності мозку при появі сновидіння та вивчається у рамках психофізіології, та суб’єктивний, у якому зосереджується увага на основних темах, емоціях, подіях у сновидіннях, а джерелом інформації є самозвіти, малюнки....

WHILE SCIENTISTS may debate the appropriate use of hallucinogens, history records our unceasing urge to cope with dreary reality or dread with the aid of magic, drugs, drama, festival rites, and (with biological regularity) through dreams. The need to transcend limits also finds a voice in utopian ideologies-be they of the inner world, of this, or the next; the promise of omnipotent mastery is...

Imagination cannot conceive the horrors it [The Nightmare] frequently gives rise to, or language describe them in adequate terms . . . Everything horrible, disgusting or terrifying in the physical or moral world is brought before him in fearful array; he is hissed at by serpents, tortured by demons, stunned by the hollow voices and cold touch of apparitions . . . . At one moment he may have the...

BENEATH man's thin veneer of consciousness lies a relatively uncharted realm of mental activity, the nature and function of which have been neither systematically explored nor adequately conceptualized. Despite numerous clinical and research reports on daydreaming, sleep and dream states, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, hysterical states of dissociation and depersonalization, pharmacologically...

The psychotherapy of a man with ulcerative colitis is reported in which a psychological crisis preceded remission of bowel dysfunction. This turning point featured hypnagogic hallucinations and dreams, including phenomena reported by Isakower, Lewin, Rycroft, and others. The deeper psychological meaning of the illness and the crisis is seen as the patient's attempt to incorporate a constant,...

The so-called experimental psychoses have been in the focus of increased interest recently, as a result of the discovery of new hallucinogenic or psychotic agents and of the fact that the problems can be approached more closely even in the borderline fields of pathopsychological research (biochemistry, electrophysiology, etc.) owing to advance in technique. Thus, it appears that Kraepelin's...

Until now, the analysis of dreams has dealt almost exclusively with their contents and has been concerned with an attempt to extract all their meaning from the images which appear in them. As is well known, the incorporation into science of the analysis of dreams began with Freud, who, upon discovering a basic hypothesis or subject, quickly arrived at a kind of metaphysics of which dreams are...
