The mechanisms involved in the origin of dreams remain one of the great unknowns in science. In the 21st century, studies in the field have focused on 3 main topics: functional networks that underlie dreaming, neural correlates of dream contents, and signal propagation. We review neuroscientific studies about dreaming processes, focusing on their cortical correlations. The involvement of...
Starting from the idea that dreaming could be considered an index of the psychological health of individuals regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, a major risk of psychological maladjustment has been registered for maladaptive daydreamers (MDers;i.e., people with a compulsive fantasy activity associated with distress and psychological impairment).

Dream images, anticipations of the future, memories of the past, perceptual distortions, delusional hallucinations, cognitions intoxicated by alcohol and drugs have always inhabited the visual representations of paintings, comics, films, television series, videogames and, more recently, virtual reality installations. We call them “altered states of consciousness”, meaning any perceptual state...
What is the essence of thinking? The answer is human consciousness. If human beings do not have the ability to think independently, human beings will not be as advanced and complex as human beings are today, and there will be no countless radicals to explore the truth. Therefore, it is necessary to make a scientific inquiry into our consciousness. It is believed that entropy, as a crucial...
1 Modern dream-research has established that 90-99 percent of all dreams are completely non-lucid (that is, dreams where the dreamer is unaware of the dream as an illusory experience).See for instance, Antti Revonsuo, Inner Presence: Consciousness as a Biological

Foucault leads him to the idea of a human as a dreamer being, and a dream as a way of understanding the ontological foundations of human existence. The article reveals M. Foucault’s idea of the predominance of dreaming...
A growing body of evidence highlights that the COVID-19 pandemic affected oneiric activity. However, only a few studies have assessed the longitudinal changes in dream phenomenology during different phases of the pandemic, often focused on a limited number of dream variables. The aim of the present study was to provide an exhaustive assessment of dream features during total lockdown (TL) and a...
