  • The Embodied Mind in Sleep and Dreaming: a Theoretical Framework and an Empirical Study of Sleep, Dreams and Memory in Meditators and Controls
    Université de Montréal The Embodied Mind in Sleep and Dreaming: A theoretical framework and an empirical study of sleep, dreams and memory in meditators and controls par Elizaveta Solomonova Programme de doctorat individualisé Sciences biomédicales Faculté de médecine Thèse présentée à la faculté de médecine en vue de l’obtention du grade de doctorat en sciences biomédicales option individualisée Août 2017 © Elizaveta Solomonova, 2017 Résumé Les théories récentes de la conscience incarnée (embodiment) soulignent que l'esprit est un processus incarné, impliquant le cerveau, le corps et l'environnement. Plusieurs aspects de la cognition, de l’interaction sensorimotrice avec l’environnement à la pensée abstraite et métaphorique, ont été conceptualisés dans ce paradigme. Le sommeil et le rêve, cependant, ont rarement été abordés par des chercheurs dans le domaine de la conscience incarnée. Cette dissertation vise à montrer, en s’appuyant sur la phénoménologie, la philosophie énactive et des sciences cognitives du sommeil et des rêves, que le rêve est un processus incarné de formation de sens dans le monde onirique. Ce travail comporte trois objectifs principaux : 1) de démontrer que le rêve est incarné; 2) de clarifier les liens entre les expériences corporelles et la formation onirique; et 3) de préciser si la sensibilité corporelle accrue, en tant qu’une compétence entraînable, mène à des changements globaux dans la façon dont l'information est traitée en sommeil. Le premier objectif est une proposition inédite dans la science des rêves. Dans ce travail, j’analyse les études théoriques et empiriques sur le sujet afin de motiver la notion de l’incarnation corporelle du rêve.

  • DREAMS HEAL 2 How Dreams Heal Introduction When We Sleep, Our
    DREAMS HEAL 2 How Dreams Heal Introduction When we sleep, our brains do not turn off. Instead they process and problem-solve in our dreams. The images, environments, and stories of our dreams often tackle situations we feel unequipped to face in our waking lives. The question remains, however, are these dream images consequential in the mitigation of the painful symptoms experienced as a result of emotional trauma? Dargert (2016) proposes that while neuroscience explores the relationship of brain to mind, the psyche is for the most part unexamined. For the purposes of this paper I will explore the interface between Depth and Archetypal psychology theories and science with an eye toward how they might be integrated to promote a new vision of how dreams can be used to heal trauma symptoms. Embodied Imagination (EI), a kind of guided dream work, is concerned with the direct effect of imagination on the mind, body and spirit, incorporating both archetypal psychology and dream science. Therefore, an exploration of the author’s understanding and experience of the healing properties of EI will also be explored. The Science of Dreaming Despite claims to the contrary regarding rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, dreaming has no clear biological marker. In research cited by Pagel (2014), REM sleep occurred without dreaming and vice-versa. He maintains that it is still unclear whether any special relationship exists between REM sleep and dreaming, stating that “there are electrophysiological, ​ DREAMS HEAL 3 neurochemical, anatomical and physiological systems of dreaming, with each of these systems affected by a wide variety of medical, psychological, sleep, and social variables” (p.xix).

This led him to spend most of the s in Italy, studying the figure painting of Michelangelo which became a major influence on his art. Other influences included 16th-century Mannerism and literary sources, notably Shakespeare. Later appointed a professor of painting at the Royal Academy, he became one of the best English painters of the eighteenth century and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral. Like his The Nightmare contemporary William BlakeFuseli's strength as a painter lies in his imaginative intensity, and The Nightmare - which he sold for 20 guineas - remains his greatest and most baffling masterpiece. Overlooked after his death, Fuseli was 'rediscovered' by 20th-century Expressionists and Surrealists who greatly admired his creativity. Painted shortly after his return from Italy, The Nightmare was first shown to the public in The Nightmare the annual exhibition of the Royal Academy. An instant success, it established Fuseli's reputation as one of the most creative artists in London.

It was hypothesized that working with disturbing dream images somatically and affectively would allow the dreamer to experience negative affects, thus broadening the experience and acceptance of their own multiplicity. The theory-in-practice was Imaginal Transformation Praxis (ITP). The literature review selects works from psychological, psychobiological, popular, and cross-cultural approaches to dreams; Imaginal Approaches to dreams, including somatic dream work, psychological multiplicity, and affect theory; and disturbing imagery.
