This study, for the first time, distinguishes between nightmares and bad dreams, measures the frequency of each using dream logs, and separately assesses the relation between nightmares, bad dreams, and well-being. Eighty-nine participants completed 7 measures of well-being and recorded their dreams for 4 consecutive weeks. The dream logs yielded estimated mean annual nightmare and bad-dream fr...

The author suggests that dreaming cognition be modeled as reflecting dynamic, integrative, culturallysensitive, and historically holistic methods. The author conceptualizes six models of dreaming cognition. 1) Freudian dreaming model, 2) Jungian analytic model, 3) neurocognitive or neurophysiological dreaming model, 4) acculturative dreaming brain model (Sang Bok Lee, 2005: ”Lee Acculturation D...

United States of America is known as a country that promises its people or immigrants who come to become successful by providing ‘American Dream’ the country’s national ethos. These are given equal chances bring out their dreams and aspirations. However, American Dream not always dream for everyone experienced characters in Christina Henriques’ novel The Book Unknown Americans. Issue injustice ...

This paper, which is limited to the art of painting, aims to support the idea that a substantial insertion of concepts and methods drawn on dream psychology and dream neuroscience can contribute to the advancements of Neuroesthetics. The historical and scientific reasons are discussed that have determined the so far poor role played by the dream phenomenon in the developments of Neuroesthetics....

Ernest Sosa has lately posed a new skeptical problem and a solution. Setting out a novel account of dreaming, Sosa worries that ‘‘the possibility that we dream now threatens not only our supposed perceptual knowledge but even our supposed introspective knowledge, our supposed takings of the given’’ (2007, p. 9). In what follows, we outline Sosa’s dream argument and evaluate his solution. Accord...

A present the rigid dichotomy between REM and NREM mental activity has been superseded by empirical evidence that the dreaming occurs continuously throughout sleep (1,2). Many experimental studies have showed oneiric mental production in Sleep Onset (SO), Stage 2 (St.2) and Slow Wave Sleep (SWS), which is not predicted by the REM/NREM sleep dichotomy (3-7). Furthermore experimental data support...

This study investigated the aggressive components of the dream content of 120 Spanish children and adolescents of 4 different age groups. The C. S. Hall and R. L. Van de Castle (1966) coding system was used to rate the number of dream characters and aggressions, and the content findings were analyzed via the indicators presented by G. W. Domhoff (1993, 1996, 2003). Results confirm the findings ...

Clinical lore and a small number of published studies report that the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) intensify dreaming. This study examines the dream effects of paroxetine and fluvoxamine in order to both increase clinical knowledge of these agents and to test an important potential method for probing the relationship between REM sleep neurobiology and dreaming in humans. Four...

Building complex component-based software systems, for instance communication systems based on the Click, Coyote, Appia, or Dream frameworks, can lead to subtle assemblage errors. We present a novel type system and type inference algorithm that prevent interconnection and message-handling errors when assembling component-based communication systems. These errors are typically not captured by cl...

Recently, zonisamide (ZNS) has been approved as a new adjunctive therapy for motor complications of Parkinson's disease (PD). More recently, ZNS was reported to be effective for the management of impulse control behavior in PD, suggesting potential effects on non-motor PD symptoms. Dream enactment associated with aggressive, violent behavior can carry a serious risk of injury to patients, as we...
