Zusammenfassung: Dreaming is the cognitive state uniquely experienced by humans and integral to our creativity, the survival characteristic that allows for the rapid change and innovation that defines our species and provides the basis for our art, philosophy, science, and humanity. Yet there is little empiric or scientific evidence supporting the generally accepted dream-based theories of neuroconsciousness. Dream Science examines the cognitive science of dreaming and offers an evidence-based view of the phenomenon. Today, such evidence-based breakthroughs in the field of dream science are altering our understanding of consciousness. Different forms of dreaming consciousness occur throughout sleep, and dreamlike states extend into wake. Each dream state is developed on a framework of memories, emotions, representational images, and electrophysiology, amenable to studies utilizing emerging and evolving technology. Dream Science discusses basic insights into the scientific study of dreaming, including the limits to traditional Freudian-based dream theory and the more modern evidence-based science. It also includes coverage of the processes of memory and parasomnias, the sleep-disturbance diagnoses related to dreaming. This comprehensive book is a scientific exploration of the mind-brain interface and a look into the future of dream science. Provides a more evidence-based approach than any other work on the market Single source of integrated information on all aspects of dream science makes this a critical time-saving reference for researchers and clinicians Authored by one of the leaders in the field of dream research.Zusammenfassung: Front Cover -- Dream Science: Exploring the Forms of Consciousness -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- About the Author -- Preface: The REMS Equals Dreaming Debacle -- Urban Myths -- Spontaneous Electrical Activity -- Clear and Irrefutable Evidence -- Neuroconsciousness -- The Special Relationship -- Melancholic Simpletons -- A Slice of the Brain -- An All-Time Low -- Almost Unstudied -- Paradigm Shift -- 1 Archaeology, Anthropology, and Dreaming -- Moving Images - Cave Art -- Mimeographs on Fresh Clay -- Night Terrors -- The Mechanical "Creativeness" of a Lightning Storm -- Illumination -- Non-Dreaming Neanderthals -- The Shadow Play of Consciousness -- Notes -- 2 Shamans, Dreams, and Religion -- Very Disturbing Dreams -- Dreams as Divine Epiphany -- The Purkinje Tree: Shamanism and Trance States -- Dirty Needles and Dream Ecstasy -- Notes -- 3 Dream Philosophy -- Unconcealing Dreams -- The Dream as a Window into Body and Mind -- Memory, Dreaming, and Frontal Lobotomies -- The Same Memory Systems Are Used in Dreaming and Waking -- Descartes' Many Errors? -- Notes -- 4 Studying Dreaming and Consciousness -- Beyond the Chinese Room -- Pathophysiology -- Neurochemical Frog Prophecies and the Control of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep -- The Electrophysiology of a Storm-Wracked Ocean -- Approaching Dream Toads -- Notes -- 5 The Forms of Waking Consciousness -- Attention-Focused Waking -- Default Non-Attentive Waking -- The Rhythms of Creativity -- The Cognitive Curiosity of Hypnosis -- Meditative States -- The Altered State of Drowsy Waking -- Forming Waking Consciousness -- Notes -- 6 The Conscious Forms of Sleep -- Controlling Dreaming: Lucidity and Sleep Meditation -- Sleep-Onset Dreams And Hallucinations -- The "Special" Relationship of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep with Dreaming -- Anxiety (STAGE 2) Dreaming.PPN: PPN: 800118693Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PQE | ZDB-30-PAD
