A novel approach is introduced to explain the appearance of telepathy‐like effects as the consequence of disturbances in the normal equilibration or ‘equilibrated non‐equilibrium’ of ordinary human experience. A new electromagnetic version of Freud’s psychoanalytic model is proposed, which begins by treating the mind as a charged object that interacts with others and the environment in a...

Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize–winning novelthe road(2006) addresses the cliché that at the moment of death the endangered individual experiences a “life review” during which his life “flashes before his eyes.” McCarthy's protagonist intuits that “the right dreams for a man in peril were dreams of peril and all else was the call of languor and death” (18). Thus, in the view of McCarthy's...

Self-reported individual differences in attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance) are sometimes assumed to tap only conscious mental processes, although many studies have found correlations between such measures and responses to the Thematic Apperception Test, the Rorschach Inkblot Test, and diverse laboratory measures of unconscious mental processes. Dreams offer another route into the...

A process-based approach to archaeology combines traditional third-person data collection methods with first- and second-person inquiries. Drawing from the traditions of cognitive archaeology, transpersonal psychology, and ecopsychology, this mixed-methods approach can be thought of as a movement toward a more holistic or “integral” archaeology. By way of example, a prehistoric rock art site on...

"Dream Is Destiny":Waking Life and the Digital Aesthetics of the In-between Maja Manojlovic (bio) A life is everywhere, in all the moments that a given living subject goes through and that are measured by given lived objects: an immanent life carrying with it the events or singularities that are merely actualized in subjects and objects. This indefinite life does not itself have moments, close...

The use of ketamine may be associated with the recall of unpleasant dreams after sedation. We hypothesized that a positive suggestion before sedation could reduce the incidence of ketamine-induced unpleasant dreams. To test this hypothesis, we randomized 100 patients receiving sedation with ketamine for their procedure into 2 groups with 1 group having an anesthesiologist provide a...

This brief essay emerges from an ongoing study of relations between imaginative writing and liminal states or movements of consciousness, especially those on the threshold between waking and sleep, or between consciousness and its loss or inhibition. In the examples considered here, such writing is meditative and self-reflective, and brings the first person into the centre of its concern. Its...

The Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa complicates the idea of fictionality, by underscoring the fact that the personality of Soares (the fictional author of The Book of Disquiet) is neither his own nor completely different, and showing how Pessoa was constrained by his own creations and creativity. This essay, "Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet. Imagination, Reality and the Pleasure of...

Η πτυχιακή εργασία ξεκινά με μία ιστορική αναδρομή στο θέμα του ύπνου καθώς αυτός θεωρείται από αρχαιοτάτων χρόνων μια φυσική πηγή ξεκούρασης και αναζωογόνησης. Στη συνέχεια παρατίθενται οι βασικές απόψεις της ομοιοπαθητικής και πιο συγκεκριμένα του κ. Γεωργίου Βυθούλκα για την ενύπνια κατάσταση, που άλλωστε αποτέλεσαν και την αφορμή για την συγγραφή της εργασίας αυτής. Ακολούθως, γίνεται μια...
