When Brains Dream: Understanding the Science and Mystery of Our Dreaming Minds
Author: Antonio Zadra
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324002840
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
"A truly comprehensive, scientifically rigorous and utterly fascinating account of when, how, and why we dream. Put simply, When Brains Dream is the essential guide to dreaming." —Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve? When Brains Dream addresses these core questions about dreams while illuminating the most up-to-date science in the field. Written by two world-renowned sleep and dream researchers, it debunks common myths that we only dream in REM sleep, for example—while acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both the science and experience of dreaming. Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold bring together state-of-the-art neuroscientific ideas and findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function called NEXTUP—Network Exploration to Understand Possibilities. By detailing this model’s workings, they help readers understand key features of several types of dreams, from prophetic dreams to nightmares and lucid dreams. When Brains Dream reveals recent discoveries about the sleeping brain and the many ways in which dreams are psychologically, and neurologically, meaningful experiences; explores a host of dream-related disorders; and explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of personal insight. Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the human brain needs to dream, When Brains Dream offers compelling answers to age-old questions about the mysteries of sleep.

Dream Revelations

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
The book aims to create an easy structure to interpret dreams, but dreams are a state of consciousness that is in continuous evolvement. It is therefore important to know that the ideas in this book are definitive tools for dream interpretation but will need your practice to enable you in becoming a dream interpreter for yourself and others. As dreams are a state of consciousness, dreams will continuously change and your identification with them changes; hence it is important to handle complex paradoxes with ease and a personalised approach. The book has taken on a difficult task of comparing spiritual, religious teaching and belief in order to bridge them together in a simple, approachable way. Hence some terms have been used interchangeably. Infinite intelligence, supernal wisdom, supernal guidance, and infinite wisdom, divine all refer to types of manifested energy generated from what is most commonly known as God. Abrahamic philosophy refers to all studies, discoveries, tools, practices, philosophy stemming from Abraham, whose main philosophy describes the unity underlying everything in our existence. This philosophy is the foundation of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hermetic, and all the branches that came from that. C. G Jung teachings have been used extensively to support the methods and techniques used for understanding dreams and interpreting them.

The Dream Seekers
Author: Lee Irwin
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806128931
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In The Dream Seekers, Lee Irwin demonstrates the central importance of visionary dreams as sources of empowerment and innovation in Plains Indian religion. Irwin draws on 350 visionary dreams from published and unpublished sources that span 150 years to describe the shared features of cosmology for twenty-three groups of Plains Indians. This comprehensive work is not a recital but an understandable exploration of the religious world of Plains Indians. The different means of acquiring visions that are described include the spontaneous vision experience common among Plains Indian women and means such as stress, illness, social conflict, and mourning used by both men and women to obtain visions. Irwin describes the various stages of the structured male vision quest as well as the central issues of unsuccessful or abandoned quests, threshold experiences during a vision, and the means by which religious empowerment is attained and transferred.

Book Description
Over the centuries, European debate about the nature and status of images of God and sacred figures has often upset the established order and shaken societies to their core. Out of this debate, an identifiable doctrine has emerged of the image in general and of the divine image in particular. This fascinating work concentrates on these historical arguments, from the period of Late Antiquity up to the great and classic defenses of images by St. John of Damascus and Theodore of Studion. Icon extends beyond the immediate concerns of religion, philosophy, aesthetics, history, and art, to engage them all.

Database of Dreams

Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300209525
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
"Just a few years before the dawn of the digital age, Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A.I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the globe. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten.... In a scrupulously researched and captivating new book, Rebecca Lemov recounts the story of Kaplan's quest and brings to light an informative and disturbing chapter in the prehistory of Big Data."--Dust jacket.
