It is called lucid dreaming, when the dreamer is aware that he is dreaming and can control the dream content. We lack Spanish-speaking tools that assess the presence of lucid dreams, so our objectives were to carry out the adaptation to Spanish and cross-cultural interpretation of the Lucidity and Consciousness in Dreams Scale (LuCID) and to evaluate the presence of lucid dreamers....

ABSTRACT Although we are beginning to understand the neurocognitive processes that underlie the emergence of dreaming, what accounts for the bizarre phenomenology of dreams remains debated. I address this question by comparing dreaming with waking mind wandering and challenging previous accounts that utilize bizarreness to mark a sharp divide between conscious experiences in waking and...

Differences in conscious experience of reality occur between waking, dreaming, and psychotic states. Between these states, there are systematic differences in the judgment about the reality of the experience when being confronted with bizarre breaks. However, the mechanisms underlying experience of reality in these different states are still unknown. To investigate the effect of bizarre breaks...
Chaos and Nonlinear Psychology

This chapter explains that like biological ecologies, consciousness is stabilized in nonlinear, chaotic, self-creating, or “autopoietic” contexts that are never at rest but continuously recreating themselves through feedback and feed-forward processes. Nonlinearity is virtually universal in biological as well as natural cognitive systems. Unlike mathematical models of highly abstracted events...

Lucidni su snovi hibridni fenomeni između spavanja i budnosti, s velikim terapijskim potencijalom.Tako je moguće proučavati kontinuitet psihopatologije i emocionalne regulacije u budnosti i snovima putem obrambenih mehanizama.Dosadašnja malobrojna istraživanja potvrđuju da multidimenzionalan pristup lucidnom sanjanju posljedično ima drugačije implikacije u objašnjenju (mal)adaptivnosti ovog...

When big data are widely used in all walks of life, obsolete numerous information is processed by high-speed operation of the computer system: data collection, data cleaning, data mining, data presentation; thus, seemingly disorganized data rapidly become logical and interconnected. Numerous results not only can be seen but the trend can also be accurately predicted. The human brain is the most...

Intuitively, we can conceive of the existence of a conscious state as a pure activity that does not necessarily require a body (or even a brain). This idea has found new support in certain recent theories that present the possibility of a totally disconnected and disembodied consciousness. Against this hypothesis, I argue that human experience is intrinsically embodied and embedded, though in a...

Creativity, that is the creation of ideas or objects considered both novel and valuable, is among the most important and highly valued of human traits, and a fundamental aspect of the sciences. Dreams and hypnagogic states have been highly influential in promoting scientific creativity and insight, contributing to some important scientific breakthroughs. Phenomenologically, the latter states of...

Abstract:This article explores the connection between individual experience, religious initiation, historical consciousness, and ethnicity within the context of Dugu, the religion practiced by the Garifuna, an Afro-Amerindian group that originated in the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent. During colonial times, in 1797, the British Crown forced the Garifuna people to leave their homeland; they...

Evidence suggests continuity between cognition in waking and sleeping states. However, one type of cognition that may differ is episodic thoughts of the past and future. The current study investigated this across waking, NREM sleep and REM sleep. We analyzed thought reports obtained from a large sample of individuals (N = 138) who underwent experience-sampling during wakefulness as well as...
