Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harness the transformative power of night dreams, half-awake dreams, and daydreams for healing, manifestation, and insight • Examines the types of dreams we have and how to remember and interpret them • Offers techniques for using night dreams and liminal dreams to improve our health and well-being and for manifesting our dreams in reality • Provides techniques for using daydreams for healing, insight, and creativity • Explains how dream techniques can be used to influence the behavior of people, things, and nature in the waking world Dreams can change our lives in profound and tangible ways. In this guide to mastering the art of dreaming, Serge Kahili King, Ph.D., explores techniques to harness the power of dreams for healing, transformation, and changing your experience of reality. Drawing on his analysis of more than 5,000 of his own dreams as well as those of students and clients from his almost 50 years of clinical work, King examines the types of night dreams we have, how to remember them better, how to make use of them to improve our health and well-being, and how to interpret them. He explores how dreams are understood in neuroscience and psychology, in Native American and Aboriginal cultures, in indigenous Senoi dream theory, and in India, Tibet, Hawaii, and Africa as well as ancient Egypt, Greece, and China. He examines the power of liminal dreams--those experienced in the half-awake state before or after sleep--for manifestation and self-understanding. He offers techniques for enhancing the dream experience for both night dreams and liminal dreams, along with practical methods to induce lucid (conscious) dreaming and to create healing thoughtforms. King then explores daydreams in depth, including fantasy, guided imagery, meditation, visions, and remote viewing and provides techniques for using daydreams for healing, insight, and creativity. He divides daydreaming into two categories, defining “active daydreaming” as the scripted dream in which you envision a goal happening and “passive daydreaming” as allowing ideas and memories to arise spontaneously from the depths of the mind. Reflecting on how dreamlike our daily experience is, King shows that each of us can use dreams as tools for seeing the world differently and influencing the behavior of people, things, and nature.

Download or read book Conscious Mind Sleeping Brain written by J. Gackenbach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A conscious mind in a sleeping brain: the title of this book provides a vivid image of the phenomenon of lucid dreaming, in which dreamers are consciously aware that they are dreaming while they seem to be soundly asleep. Lucid dreamers could be said to be awake to their inner worlds while they are asleep to the external world. Of the many questions that this singular phenomenon may raise, two are foremost: What is consciousness? And what is sleep? Although we cannot pro vide complete answers to either question here, we can at least explain the sense in which we are using the two terms. We say lucid dreamers are conscious because their subjective reports and behavior indicate that they are explicitly aware of the fact that they are asleep and dreaming; in other words, they are reflectively conscious of themselves. We say lucid dreamers are asleep primarily because they are not in sensory contact with the external world, and also because research shows physiological signs of what is conventionally considered REM sleep. The evidence presented in this book-preliminary as it is-still ought to make it clear that lucid dreaming is an experiential and physiological reality. Whether we should consider it a paradoxical form of sleep or a paradoxical form of waking or something else entirely, it seems too early to tell.

Download or read book The Sociological Interpretation of Dreams written by Bernard Lahire and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Freud, dreams were the royal road to the unconscious: through the process of interpretation, the manifest and sometimes bewildering content of dreams can be traced back to the unconscious representations underlying it. But can we understand dreams in another way by considering how the unconscious is structured by our social experiences? This is hypothesis that underlies this highly original book by Bernard Lahire, who argues that dreams can be interpreted sociologically by seeing the dream as a nocturnal form of self-to-self communication. Lahire rejects Freud’s view that the manifest dream content is the result of a process of censorship: as a form of self-to-self communication, the dream is the symbolic arena most completely freed from all forms of censorship. In Lahire’s view, the dream is a message which can be understood only by relating it to the social world of the dreamer, and in particular to the problems that concern him or her during waking life. As a form of self-to-self communication, the dream is an intimate private diary, providing us with the elements of a profound and subtle understanding of who and what we are. Studying dreams enables us to discover our most deep-seated and hidden preoccupations, and to understand the thought processes that operate within us, beyond the reach of our volition. The study of dreams and dreaming has largely been the preserve of psychoanalysis, psychology and neuroscience. By showing how dreams are connected to the lived experience of individuals in the social world, this highly original book puts dreams and dreaming at the heart of the social sciences. It will be of great value to students and scholars in sociology, psychology and psychoanalysis and to anyone interested in the nature and meaning of dreams.

Book excerpt: Χρησιμοποιώντας τις ιδιότητες του περιβάλλοντος, ο άνθρωπος, μπορεί να αντιλαμβάνεται με τρόπο φυσικό, μέσω του σώματος και του υποσυνειδήτου του, τους κινδύνους του περιβάλλοντος, και κατ’ επέκταση να διατηρεί την προσωπική του ασφάλεια. Παρ’ όλα αυτά ο άνθρωπος δεν έχει αναπτύξει, στο μέγιστο βαθμό, την ικανότητά του αυτή. Τα ζώα, όμως, λειτουργώντας βάσει αυτής της ικανότητας, είναι σε θέση να προειδοποιούνται από το περιβάλλον για τις φυσικές καταστροφές και να διαφεύγουν πριν από το ξέσπασμά τους. Ωστόσο, χρησιμοποιώντας τα όνειρά τους οι άνθρωποι θα μπορούσαν να ξεπεράσουν τα ζώα στον τομέα αυτό. Έχοντας αφιερώσει 20 και πλέον χρόνια σε έρευνες πάνω στο συγκεριμένο θέμα, αποφάσισα να αναλύσω, μέσα από αυτό το βιβλίο, μία προσιτή για όλους μέθοδο, που υπόσχεται να «επανακτήσει» την επικοινωνία μεταξύ του σώματος, του συνειδητού και υποσυνειδήτου, με απότερο σκοπό την απόκτηση περισσότερων πληροφοριών σχετικά με τους κινδύνους του περιβάλλοντος. Επομένως, μέσω της επικοινωνίας του σώματος και του υποσυνειδήτου, οι άνθρωποι θα μπορούσαν να είναι σαφώς ανώτεροι και πιο ικανοί, τόσο από τα ζώα, όσο και από όλα τα τεχνολογικά μέσα, ως προς το να διαισθάνονται και να προβλέπουν όλων των ειδών τους κινδύνους, είτε αυτοί προέρχονται από τη φύση, είτε από την ανθρώπινη δραστηριότητα ή ακόμη και από τεχνολογικούς παράγοντες. Η τεχνική που αναλύεται στο βιβλίο αυτό, θα μας βοηθήσει να «ανακτήσουμε» όλες εκέινες τις σημαντικές πληροφορίες, που εγγυώνται την προσωπική μας ασφάλεια, αλλά κι εκείνες που αφορούν τους κοντινούς μας ανθρώπους, οι οποίες, βέβαια, μας αποκαλύπτονται κατά τη διάρκεια της ονειρικής διαδικασίας. Έτσι λοιπόν, βάσει της συγκεκριμένης τεχνικής θα είμαστε σε θέση: - να αποφεύγουμε έναν αιφνίδιο θάνατο, τρεπόμενοι σε φυγή πριν το ξέσπασμα μίας φυσικής καταστροφής: ενός σεισμού, μίας ηφαιστειακής έκρηξης, μίας κατολίσθησης, ενός κατακλυσμού, μίας καταιγίδας, ενός τυφώνα κλπ. - να αποφεύγουμε τις επιθέσεις από εγκληματίες, τρομοκράτες, κλέφτες, βιαστές, αλλά και να ανατρέπουμε τα σχέδιά τους. - να γνωρίζουμε, πριν την αναχώρησή μας για κάποιο ταξίδι, με το αεροπλάνο ή το πλοίο, για παράδειγμα, εάν θα φτάσουμε σώοι και αβλαβείς στον προορισμό μας ή εάν θα ήταν προτιμότερο να αναβάλουμε το ταξίδι μας, λόγω κάποιας ενδεχόμενης επίθεσης, ενός ναυαγίου, κάποιας βλάβης ή κάποιας επικείμενης φυσικής καταστροφής… - να διαισθανόμαστε επιπλέον κινδύνους και παγίδες και να τις αποφεύγουμε με επιτυχία. - να αναπτύξουμε ακόμη περισσότερο τις ικανότητες μας, ούτως ώστε να ενιχύσουμε τη διαίσθησή μας και να την ακολουθούμε ακόμη κι εκτός ύπνου, γεγονός που θα μας επιτρέπει να αντιλαμβανόμαστε, με μεγαλύτερη αποτελεσματικότητα, τους κινδύνους του περιβάλλοντός μας. - να εντοπίζουμε τις αιτίες που μας προκαλούν τους απλούς εφιάλτες, με αποτέλεσμα να μην ανησυχούμε χωρίς λόγο. Θα είμαστε, επομένως, σε θέση να ξεχωρίζουμε τα όνειρα λανθασμένων προειδοποιήσεων από τα όνειρα, που όντως μας προειδοποιούν για επικείμενες φυσικές καταστροφές, επιθέσεις, ληστείες, ατυχή περιστατικά σε πυρηνικόυς σταθμούς κ.ο.κ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Medieval Presence in the Modernist Aesthetic: Unattended Moments, editors Simone Celine Marshall and Carole M. Cusack have brought together essays on literary Modernism that uncover medieval themes and tropes that have previously been “unattended”, that is, neglected or ignored. A historical span of a century is covered, from musical modernist Richard Wagner’s final opera Parsifal (1882) to Russell Hoban’s speculative fiction Riddley Walker (1980), and themes of Arthurian literature, scholastic philosophy, Irish legends, classical philology, dream theory, Orthodox theology and textual exegesis are brought into conversation with key Modernist writers, including T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Samuel Beckett, Marcel Proust, W. B. Yeats, Evelyn Waugh and Eugene Ionesco. These scholarly investigations are original, illuminating, and often delightful.

Download or read book Histories of Dreams and Dreaming written by Giorgia Morgese and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, dreams became the subject of scientific study for the first time, after thousands of years of being considered a primarily spiritual phenomenon. Before Freud and the rise of psychoanalytic interpretation as the dominant mode of studying dreams, an international group of physicians, physiologists, and psychiatrists pioneered scientific models of dreaming. Collecting data from interviews, structured observation, surveys, and their own dream diaries, these scholars produced a large body of early research on the sleeping brain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book uncovers an array of case studies from this overlooked period of dream scholarship. With contributors working across the disciplines of psychology, history, literature, and cultural studies, it highlights continuities and ruptures in the history of scientific inquiry into dreams.
