Abstract Introduction We report the electroencephalography (EEG) changes observed in a case of sleep paralysis. Methods We present the case of a 15-year-old boy with recurrent isolated sleep paralysis. As part of the diagnostic evaluation, the patient underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) and subsequently, a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). During the MSLT, the patient experienced sleep...

The Word, as the creative principle of life, is a concept found in many cultures, from the Hebraic to the Uitotos (or Murui) of the Colombian Amazon. The author finds parallels between the immersion of Joyce´s Finnegans Wake in the Word as the key to unlocking different but interrelated dimensions of reality, and the cosmo-vision of the Murui. Finnegans Wake presents a panoptic view of...

Dreams were a subject of interest to philosophers thinking about the connection between the mind and the body in the nineteenth century. Many scholars have pointed out that the mind and the body were intimately linked and affected each other. Although science was on its way to becoming more technical and numbers focused in its investigatory practices, medical students and other...

The study of dreams has been central to understanding human (un)consciousness, cognition, and culture for centuries. Analyzing dreams quantitatively depends on labor-intensive, manual annotation of dream narratives. We automate this process through a natural language sequence-to-sequence generation framework. This paper presents the first study on character and emotion detection in the English...

After briefly surveying the basics of waking, sleeping, and dreaming, this chapter turns from physiology to experience. Dreams are often bizarre, with incongruity, uncertainty, and sudden scene changes, possibly due to failed feature binding. Studies of dream recall and content reveal sex differences in content and show how children&s;s dreams develop along with their cognitive abilities. Dream...

Consciousness always requires some representational content; that is, one can only be conscious about something. However, the presence of conscious experience (awareness) alone does not determine whether its content is in line with the external and physical world. Dreams, apart from certain forms of hallucinations, typically consist of non-veridical percepts, which are not recognized as false,...

Dear Editor, The Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online defines dreams as a succession of ideas, pictures, or feelings that happen while people sleep ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dream ). The Sleep Foundation describes a dream as ideas or images that come to mind while people are asleep; a dream may occur at any sleep stage, but rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is when dreams tend to...

The article provides a comparison of the two cosmologies of Bashar and Seth. Both sources of information are not real from our point of view, the information is channeled. According to them, however, it is rather our own reality that is not really real. It is a projection of consciousness within consciousness, similar to a dream, constantly being recreated at the rate of Planck time. What we...

Background: Disconnected consciousness describes a state in which subjective experience (i.e., consciousness) becomes isolated from the external world. It appears frequently during sleep or sedation, when subjective experiences remain vivid but are unaffected by external stimuli. Traditional methods of differentiating connected and disconnected consciousness, such as relying on behavioral...
