1. Title: The Nature of Consciousness during Sleep
Funder: Self
Brief Summary: Consciousness is present in wake-period, and in sleep. Perception, and Cognition appears during sleep in the phenomenon of dreams, but the state of Consciousness changes in deterministic cycles of NREM, and REM sleep stages. Published findings show that themes of wake-period like vocation, family, socials, violence, and climate, and themes that are not experienced in wake-period like flying, free fall, and seeing angels are recurrent in dreams of diverse cultures. Consciousness, therefore, acquires attributes in dreams that are not present, or manifest in wake-period. These new attributes include teleportation, entanglement, and superposition, which are quantum in nature. Some of these attributes are present in pathological states like psychedelic, psychoses, and behaviour disorders. Consciousness in dreams, therefore, advance understanding of physiology, and pathological states.
Role: Principal Investigator
