Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: The theory of surfaces has undergone substantial changes in recent years, with many different active areas at this point in time. It has become mainstream to study minimal surfaces and constant mean curvature surfaces in more general target spaces than space forms. So far, the main strands of development center around methods from the theory of elliptic differential equations, complex analytic methods, and integrable systems techniques. The study of singular surfaces has widened the classical point of view and seems to be a particularly promising direction of research when considering certain moduli space problems.

BROKEN SUPERSYMMETRY IN THE MATRIX MODEL ON A CIRCLE
Creators: name: S. BELLUCCI
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1992

description: We consider the discretization of a D = 2 surface using polygons. We map the surface onto superspace and integrate over surfaces of arbitrary genus, obtaining a discretized version of the Green-Schwarz string in D = 1. Taking an unusual critical limit of the supersymmetric matrix model involved, we construct exact solutions, to all perturbative orders, for the discretized superstring in one dimension, both when the target space is a real line and when the theory is represented in terms of matrix variables on a circle of finite radius. We comment on the behaviour of the compactified perturbative expansion under duality tranformations.
Proposal for Studying $N^*$ Resonances with $\bar{p}p \to \bar{p}n π^+ $ Reaction

description: A theoretical study of $\bar{p}p \to \bar{p}n π^+ $ reaction for anti-proton beam energy from 1 to 4 GeV is made by including contributions from various known $N^*$ and $Δ^*$ resonances. It is found that for the beam energy around 1.5 GeV, the contribution of the Roper resonance $N^*_{(1440)}$ produced by the t-channel $σ$ exchange dominates over all other contributions. Since such reaction can be studied in the forthcoming $\bar{P}$ANDA experiment at Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), the reaction will be realistically the cleanest place for studying the properties of the Roper resonance and the best place for looking for other "missing" $N^*$ resonances with large coupling to $Nσ$.

description: Generalizing the work by Cherkis and Schwarz [1], we carry out the double dimensional reduction of supersymmetric M5 brane on K3 to obtain the supersymmetric action of heterotic string in 7-dimensional flat space-time. Motivated by this result, we propose the supersymmetric heterotic action in 10-dimensional flat space-time where the current algebra is realized in a novel way. We explicitly verify the kappa-symmetry of the proposed action.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this contribution, a generalized protocol of quantum teleportation is suggested to investigate the possibility of remotely transfer unknown multiparities entangled coherent state. A theoretical technique is introduced to generate maximum entangled coherent states which are used as quantum channels. We show that the mean photon number plays a central role on the fidelity of the transferred information. The noise parameter can be considered as a control parameter only for small values of the mean photon number.
Family members in a long dream series
Creators: name: Schredl, Michael
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Family members appear within dreams quite often, a finding that is in accordance with the continuity hypothesis of dreaming and the Social Simulation theory. Within a series of 2,025 dreams recorded over more than 30 years by a female dreamer, they were examined to determine how frequently family members occurred over time in her dreams. Overall, the findings indicate that family members were quite common in her dreams, with the mother appearing with the highest frequency. The frequency of the dreams with most family members decreased over time, supporting the hypothesis that childhood/adolescence experiences (closest family bonds) appear less often in dreams as the dreamer is getting older. The frequency of the dreams that included the mother decreased after her death, also supporting the continuity hypothesis of dreams. For testing the strengthening hypothesis of the Social Simulation Theory, it would be very interesting to study whether the frequency of dreams of a particular family member is associated with an increase in closeness over time.

description: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has strongly impacted the world. Recent research findings have shown its significant impact on sleep habits, dreaming, and psychological well-being. In a sample of 329 adult Italian subjects, we investigated the following four factors during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: sociodemographic and COVID-19 related variables, mood (using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale), sleep (using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and oneiric activity (using the Mannheim Dream Questionnaire and the Most Recent Dream instrument). Results indicated that participants presented moderate levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as poor sleep quality. Results also indicated that the participants living in regions subject to the strictest quarantine/isolation measures, as well as participants whose work habits have been negatively affected because of the restrictive measures, reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as the strongest effects on their dreams and nightmares. Furthermore, participants most directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and poor sleep quality, as well as the strongest effects on their dreams and nightmares. Finally, results of the Thematic Analysis of Elementary Contexts showed that dreams seem to be centered on both pleasant memories linked to experiences that are now forbidden as well as on stressful and dangerous situations. In sum, the findings of this study indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic, understood as a contextual and catastrophic event, significantly affects people’s oneiric lives, as well as their psychological well-being.

Analysis of some factors influencing the distribution and abundance of the poplar and willow borer (Sternochetus lapathi (L.)) on scouler willow (Salix scouleriana Barratt).
Creators: name: Safranyik, Laszlo

description: A study was carried out during the summer of 1963 to determine the importance of some factors influencing the distribution and abundance of S. lapathi (L), on scouler willow, on Spur 17 of the University Research Forest, near Haney. The investigation was done through the observation and sampling of populations in the field, supported by laboratory experiments designed to determine the number of larval instars and the rate of dispersion by means of walking. The following items were investigated: 1) Number of larval instars, 2) Inter- and intra-tree differences in insect mortality, 3) Differences in within-tree distribution of different life stages, 4) Differences in between-tree distribution of combined, adult-plus-pupal stages and of larval instars, 5) Rate of dispersion of starved and fed beetle populations, 6) Influence of tree height, d.b.h., age, and number of crevices per square inch of bark area on infestation intensity and, 7) Sampling method to determine larval population levels. Five larval instars were found for the larval stage of the weevil. Tree height, d.b.h., age, and number of infestations per tree had no marked influence on trend of weevil mortality. Mortalities of first and second instar larvae were higher within the lower three foot trunk sections of sample trees than those in the higher sections of the trunks. The vertical distribution of larval galleries had no marked influence on the mortality of the other life stages of the weevil. Mean infestation height of combined, adult plus pupal stages was significantly lower (significant at 0.05 level) than that for the combined larval stages. Starved beetles dispersed more than their fed counterparts. D.b.h., and tree height were the most important variables in determining the intensity of infestation on an individual tree. A two-stage sampling method was developed to ascertain larval population levels.

The healing and transformative potential of lucid dreaming for treating clinical depression
Creators: name: Sackwild, Lana
name: Stumbrys, Tadas
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Lucid dreamers, who become aware within their dreams that they are dreaming, are able to use this state of consciousness for self-exploration and self-development, including the possibilities of therapeutic work. Preliminary evidence suggests that lucid dreaming may contribute to mental health. This explanatory sequential mixed methods study explored the relationship between lucid dreaming and depression . One hundred sixty-three participants, mostly lucid dreamers and many of whom had experienced depression, completed a survey investigating the relationship between lucid dreams and depression. Six survey participants then took part in in-depth qualitative interviews to elucidate how experienced lucid dreamers, who had been previously diagnosed with or prescribed medication for depression , utilized their lucid dreams to purposefully and practically access and alleviate the crux of their depression in the past . Both quantitative and qualitative data support the idea that lucid dream work may be an effective treatment for mental health issues, including clinical depression. Three major themes that emerged from the qualitative interviews – self-exploration, creativity and empowerment, spiritual and transpersonal – illustrate possible mechanisms of healing and transformation in the lucid dream state. Future studies should explore the potentials of lucid dreaming treatment for depression within a clinical or therapeutic programme.

description: We investigate efficient entanglement purification through double selection process. This method works with higher noise thresholds for the communication channels and local operations, and achieves higher fidelity of purified states. Furthermore it provides a yield comparable to the usual protocol with single selection. It is shown by general considerations that the double selection is optimal to remove the first-order errors, achieving the upper bound on the fidelity of purified states in the low noise regime. The double selection is also applied to purification of multi-partite entanglement such as two-colorable graph states.

The effects of Near Death Experiences on dreaming: A pilot study
Creators: name: Funkhouser, Art
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: A Near Death Experience (NDE) often has a profound “aftereffect” on the individual, changing her or his worldview – often in a beneficial way. The current pilot study is the first to study the effects of NDEs on subsequent dream contents. Overall, 46 individuals completed an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that NDEs resulted in significantly a) more positive dreams, b) more vivid dreams, c) improved dream recall, d) an increased number of spiritual dreams, e) an increased interest in dreams, and f) an increased interest in the dreams of others; results that are consistent with the continuity hypothesis of dreaming. As the pilot study indicated that NDEs also have profound effects on the dream life of the individual, more in-depth studies are warranted.

description: Bei Stahlverbundbrücken kleiner und mittlerer Spannweiten werden seit einigen Jahren vermehrt Verbunddübelleisten zur Schubkraftübertragung eingesetzt. Mit ihrer erhöhten Tragfähigkeit bei gleichzeitig geringen Bauhöhen bieten sie deutliche wirtschaftliche Vorteile gegenüber einer Verbundlösung mit Kopfbolzendübeln. In den letzten Jahren wurden zudem die Grundlagen zur Nutzung eines „lebenslangen“ Korrosionsschutzes durch eine Feuerverzinkung auch bei ermüdungsbeanspruchten Brückenbauwerken durch umfangreiche wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen für zahlreiche typische Brückendetails geschaffen. Aufgrund fehlender Kenntnisse zum Einfluss der Feuerverzinkung auf die Ermüdungsfestigkeit von Verbunddübelleisten konnten die wirtschaftlichen Vorteile kombiniert mit der nachhaltigen Feuerverzinkung bislang im Brückenbau jedoch nicht genutzt werden. In dieser Arbeit werden die Ergebnisse von vergleichenden Ermüdungsversuchen an verzinkten und unverzinkten Kleinteilproben, Push-Out Körpern und bauteilähnlichen Trägern aufgeführt, zusammengefasst und im Hinblick auf unterschiedliche Verhaltensweisen in Tragfähigkeit und Ermüdungsfestigkeit ausgewertet. Ergänzend werden die Einflussfaktoren der Feuerverzinkung auf die Ermüdungsfestigkeit gezielt im Rahmen von numerischen Parameterstudien untersucht. Als Haupteinflussparameter wird dabei die Zinkschichtdicke identifiziert. Für die Planung der Feuerverzinkung und Festlegung des Materials der Verbunddübelleiste sollte eine möglichst geringe, für die vorhandene Korrosivität notwendige Zinkschichtdicke angestrebt werden. Als Ergebnis aller Untersuchungen wird festgestellt, dass, wie für die unverzinkte Verbunddübelleiste in der allgemeinen Bauartgenehmigung geregelt, auch für die feuerverzinkte Ausführung der Nachweis der Ermüdungsfestigkeit mit dem Kerbfall 125 nach DIN EN 1993-1-9 geführt werden kann. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird so ein Beitrag zu einer nachhaltigen und wirtschaftlichen Bauweise im Brückenbau unter Anwendung einer Feuerverzinkung bei Verbunddübelleisten geschaffen. Eine Unterscheidung der Kerbfälle je nach Bearbeitungszustand erfolgt nicht.

description: The present study of the unknown Ukrainian nocturnal world asked the question: “Are there content differences between Ukrainian male and female dream reports obtained from individuals attending dream seminars?” The systematic quantitative analysis of the content of dreams in 100 male and 100 female dreams from dream seminars conducted in 1995 and 1998 used Hall-Van de Castle’s (1966) scoring instrument. Of the significant content differences, Ukrainian men exhibited a higher incidence of assuming the befriender role (initiating friendly actions) and self-experienced negativity (victimization) while more women reported relating to others through friendliness. In the absence of other Ukrainian dream studies, results are interpreted in the context of earlier normative findings. Suggestions for future, culturally relevant research studies are provided.

Empirical evidence of original dream metaphors. Five examples, description of the method, and theoretical conclusions about the meaningful and complex nature of dreaming.
Creators: name: Montangero, Jacques
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Abstract The present paper deals with several topics which entail one another. The first topic is the issue whether dreams are meaningless or meaningful. To answer the question, we decided to study the presence or absence of metaphor in dreams. Three criteria for the presence of a metaphor were observed: first the metaphor is discovered by the dreamer when (s)he answers the question of the interview part of our method, second the metaphor must not be a conventional one, third the analogy between the metaphor and its target has to be obvious for the dreamer and the experimenter. Five examples of metaphors are presented and the method used is explained in details, since our methodology has original features and is helpful for studying other topics. The two main consequences of the presence of metaphors in dreams are first, that dreams are meaningful - an idea that a number of dream researchers reject; second, dreaming is a complex cognitive ability which cannot be reduced to reflecting underlying neurophysiological events or waking thoughts.

Year: 2021

description: In several large-scale studies, sex is related to the frequency of dream recall, on average, women tend to recall their dreams more often than men. Studies on EEG analysis and its correlation with dreams in women are scarce. We aimed to evaluate REM dreams´ recall frequency and content and their emotional characteristics in healthy young women. 20 young women adults’, nonclinical volunteers, without any history pf psychoactive medication and psychiatric disorders performed two consecutive nights of complete Video-Polysomnography recording. REM awakenings dreams were collected, after 10 consecutive minutes of uninterrupted REM. For every dream described, we applied the Hall and Van Castle method of quantitative and systematic dream content analysis and compared to published normative Hall and Van Castle data. The differences of this Portuguese women group and normative USA data obtained in female college students concern mostly dreaming about family, with dead and imaginary characters, while having increased rates of failure and striving. The cultural influences are a possible explanation.

description: We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of the blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy Mrk 59, obtained with the TripleSpec spectrograph mounted on the 3.5m APO telescope. The NIR spectrum of Mrk 59, which covers the 0.90 - 2.40 micron wavelength range, shows atomic hydrogen, molecular hydrogen, helium, sulfur and iron emission lines. The NIR data have been supplemented by a SDSS optical spectrum. We found extinction in the BCD to be low [A(V)=0.24 mag] and to be the same in both the optical and NIR ranges. The NIR light does not reveal hidden star formation. The H2 emission comes from dense clumps and the H2 vibrational emission line intensities can be accounted for by photon excitation. No shock excitation is needed. A CLOUDY photoinization model of Mrk 59 reproduces well the observed optical and NIR emission line fluxes. There is no need to invoke sources of ionization other than stellar radiation.The [FeII] 1.257 and 1.643 micron emission lines, often used as supernova shock indicators in low-excitation high-metallicity starburst galaxies, cannot play such a role in high-excitation low-metallicity HII regions such as Mrk 59.

What is it like to be midwife to a dream? Irish therapist’s experience of working with dreams in contemporary psychotherapy
Creators: name: Hackett, Mike
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Though dreams have fascinated human beings for millennia, the landscape of dreams is broad and fragmented with dozens of theories, approaches and methods of working with dreams now in existence. Much of the literature focusses on therapist estimates of dream prevalence in therapy, factors which influence therapists working with dream material, what therapists do when material is presented and therapist competence, attitudes and sense of outcomes when working with dreams therapeutically. Little however exists in the literature as to the lived experience of therapists who help clients work with their dreams. Purposive sampling was used to recruit six therapists who work with dreams in their professional practise. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse the data to identify superordinate and subordinate themes. Three superordinate themes and seven subordinate themes emerged from the process of analysis. Superordinate themes were; the role of dreams in the personal lives of therapists; the experience of working with a client’s dream; and, concerns for the diminishing significance of dreams in clinical practice. Participants described both the experience and meaning they attribute to dreams in their personal and professional lives and these are discussed in the context of the prevailing dream work literature. Implications for future research, training and practise are presented including the possibility of a universal approach to dream work, de-emphasising the need for aha-moments as sole measures of dream work success and the suggestion of building a community of practice focussed on addressing the social, personal and professional needs of therapists who work with dreams.

description: Motivated both by industrial applications and the challenge of new problems, one observes an increasing interest in the field of image and surface processing over the last years. It has become clear that even though the applications areas differ significantly the methodological overlap is enormous. Even if contributions to the field come from almost any discipline in mathematics, a major role is played by partial differential equations and in particular by geometric and variational modeling. The aim of the workshop was to gather a group of leading experts coming from mathematics, engineering and computer graphics to cover the main developments.

description: Single-electron escape from a metastable state over an oscillating barrier is experimentally investigated in silicon-based ratchet transfer. When the barrier is oscillating on a time scale characteristic of the single-electron escape, synchronization occurs between the deterministic barrier modulation and the stochastic escape events. The average escape time as a function of its oscillation frequency exhibits a minimum providing a primary signature for resonant activation of single electrons.

Emulating alien and UFO encounters in REM sleep

Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Alien and UFO encounters (AUEs) have been a well-known part of human culture for centuries, but we are still unsure of their nature. Some studies suggest that in some such encounters, these phenomena could be related to dissociative REM sleep states, like lucid dreams (LDs), sleep paralysis (SP), and out-of-body experiences (OBEs). The present research focuses on the hypothesis that if some of AUEs are indeed the products of REM sleep, then they could be deliberately emulated by LD practitioners. Therefore, this experiment could help to explain the mystery of AUEs. To check our hypothesis, we implemented an online resource through which we instructed a group of 152 volunteers to try to emulate AUEs via LDs. The volunteers made these attempts at home, and their reports were verified and analyzed by the researchers. Of the volunteers, 114 (75%) were able to experience AUEs after one or more attempts. The results indicate that 61% of participants encountered alien-like creatures, 28% encountered UFOs, and 24% experienced fear or SP. Regarding the successful cases, 20% were close to reality in terms of the absence of paradoxical dreamlike events. AUEs can be emulated willfully and can be perceived as being very close to reality. In theory, random people might spontaneously encounter AUEs during REM sleep and confuse the events with reality. This study helps to explain at least some AUEs that arise at bedtime. This study can be used to examine—and even emulate—other paranormal, religious, or mystical encounters, thus helping us to understand our culture and the human brain better.

description: This paper is devoted to the study of the processes e^+e^- \to J/Ψη_c, J/Ψη_c', ψ' η_c, ψ' η_c' within light cone formalism. It is shown that if one disregards the contribution of higher fock states, the twist-3 distribution amplitudes needed in the calculation can be unambiguously determined from the twist-2 distribution amplitudes and equations of motion. Using models of the twist-2 distribution amplitudes the cross sections of the processes under study have been calculated. The results of the calculation are in agreement with Belle and BaBar experiments. It is also shown that relativistic and radiative corrections to the cross sections play crucial role in the achievement of the agreement between the theory and experiments. The comparison of the results of this paper with the results obtained in other papers has been carried out. In particular, it is shown that the results of papers where relativistic and radiative corrections were calculated within NRQCD are overestimated by a factor of ~1.5.

Focus upon relational issues in the dream lives of individuals in liminal times of ‘crisis’: Can developmental theory help us better understand dreams?
Creators: name: Navara, Geoff
name: DeCicco, Teresa
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Two theoretical propositions have been widely adopted by many in the field of dream research within the Continuity Hypotheses of dreaming. This hypothesis posits that waking concerns and daily activities are reflected in individuals’ dreams, and, that there are patterns of consistency/repetition in dreams over long periods of time. In the current study, the researchers argue that developmental theorists such Erikson (1950) and Hinde (1997) may provide additional theoretical insights when considering the continuity and consistency of dreaming, in that these theorists argue that certain developmental stages centre upon discrete and predictable ‘crises’ or developmental tasks. A total of 441 individual dreams from the dream journals of 27 senior undergraduate students were coded and analyzed through a combination of quantitative (cluster analysis) and qualitative (content coding/phenomenological) methods. Results indicate that dream patterns were consistent with the Continuity Hypothesis, in that waking concerns were represented in dreams. It was also noted that the dream content analyzed indeed followed patterns of concerns that were consistent with developmental theories. The adopted methodologies and subsequent analytical techniques, such as cluster analysis, could be very useful in future studies.

Jacob's dream: Useful for, and enlightened by, current dream research
Creators: name: Barcaro, Umberto
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: The biblical narration of Jacob’s dream is analyzed in the light of current significant issues of dream research, specifically: the usefulness of historical data for the study of dreaming; the continuity theory; the phenomenological relationship between the dream experience and its sources; the relationship between music and dreaming; the latent role of archetypes in the construction of dreams; the significance of dreams for the cognitive study of religions; and the multiple levels of analysis of historically important dreams. Dream-evocative features in the biblical narration are also described, which are given by word-root recurrences and by the use of a “hapax legomenon” to indicate Jacob’s vision. This analysis based on current dream research provides insights into Jacob’s dream. In addition, Jacob’s dream in itself is useful for dream research, because it highlights basic universal aspects of the dreaming experience.

Predicting the number of spiritual dreams based on the locus of control and reflective thinking
Creators: name: Askari, Fatemeh

Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: This research has been done to predict the number of spiritual dreams of individuals based on the locus of control, and reflective thinking. In this study, in addition to examining the effect of the locus of control, and reflective thinking on the intensity of spiritual dreams of individuals, the relationship between the following components of reflective thinking has also been investigated. Participants were 200 men, and women over 30 years old in Shiraz. Measures were, Rutter locus of Control (1966), the California Critical Thinking Tendency Questionnaire (Facion, 1992), and the Spiritual Dreams Questionnaire (Askari, 2020). We designed this questionnaire with the help of Bulkeley (2009) and Casto (2001) Spiritual Dream Scales. Finally, this questionnaire was designed as a 6-point Likert in 17 questions. Its validity and reliability were also measured. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.9. The results showed that there was no significant positive relationship between locus of control, and spiritual dreams (P>0.05). This means that the type of, locus of control, of individuals can not predict the extent of their spiritual dreams. But there was a significant positive relationship between reflective thinking, and spiritual dreams (P<0.05). In examining the sub-components of reflective thinking, a significant positive relationship was found between the dimensions of questioning, criticism, and open-mindedness with the number of spiritual dreams. Therefore, the results of the tests showed that reflective thinking skills in dimensions (questioning, open-mindedness, and criticism) can predict the intensity of spiritual dreams in individuals. But other dimensions of reflective thinking, as well as the type of locus of control of individuals, can not predict the extent of the spiritual dream.

On Discretization of Tori of Compact Simple Lie Groups
Creators: name: Hrivnak, Jiri

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Three types of numerical data are provided for simple Lie groups of any type and rank. This data is indispensable for Fourier-like expansions of multidimensional digital data into finite series of $C-$ or $S-$functions on the fundamental domain $F$ of the underlying Lie group $G$. Firstly, we consider the number $|F_M|$ of points in $F$ from the lattice $P^{\vee}_M$, which is the refinement of the dual weight lattice $P^{\vee}$ of $G$ by a positive integer $M$. Secondly, we find the lowest set $Λ_M$ of dominant weights, specifying the maximal set of $C-$ and $S-$functions that are pairwise orthogonal on the point set $F_M$. Finally, we describe an efficient algorithm for finding, on the maximal torus of $G$, the number of conjugate points to every point of $F_M$. Discrete $C-$ and $S-$transforms, together with their continuous interpolations, are presented in full generality.

The place of the Method of less resistence among other psychotherapeutic methods in working with dreams: Analysis of dream report using the method of less resistence − a case study
Creators: name: Pendaroski, Miroslav Krste
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: The scientific paper explains original method developed by the author, called The method of less resistance in working with dreams. In a first part of the paper the method is observed through the comparison with other well known and influential methods in working with dreams and also there is an explanation on strengths and weaknesses on the same. This scientific paper in a second part presents the processing and analysis of a client’s dream report according to this method. The paper presents in detail the procedure of processing a dream report with the help of this complex and integrative method which contains 12 aspects according to which the analysis is conducted. In addition to the introduction which explains the basics of the method, it’s theoretical background and procedure, the following sections show the client’s psycho-social background, which is important for the presented analysis. Then the dream scenario is shown, the overall report as originally presented by the client himself. Then the whole procedure of the analysis is shown, which is guided by the special worksheet for the application of this method, and in each of the elements the interpretation is shown in detail. A brief report on the dream is shown at the end. The importance of this scientific paper is special given the detailed and structured methodology of working with this original method developed by the author and which gives all professionals, both theorists and practitioners, important guidelines and a clear methodology for working with dreams with this method.

description: This paper reports a DreamsID (Dreams Illustrated and Discussed) art science collaborative event held to commemorate the first dream told by Dora to Freud, in November 1900, during her psychoanalysis. As part of the online ‘Main stage’ schedule from the Swansea Science Festival, the event had participation from a worldwide audience, and contributions from expert panel members. That Dora’s dream is a poignant depiction of the distress and persecution in her teenage life can be seen from Dora’s free associations to the dream, but this is often overshadowed in readings of Freud’s case study by his speculative further interpretations of the dream, derived from Freud’s own associations. This paper includes the background to the case study, and the main points, themes and questions raised by the online discussion of the case study. This included the lack of emotion in the dream report, whether the dream was used by Dora to show to Freud the danger that she was in, the relationship between Dora’s dream, with its metaphor of the need to escape from the danger of fire, and dreams more widely of trauma and abuse; and the ethics of Dora’s real-life name having been made known without her permission. The painting produced live during the event is reproduced, with an account of the discussion of how the painting is composed. A link to the film of the event is provided.

Differences in dream content and structure between Japanese and Western dreams

description: This qualitative study of patients’ dreams in analytical psychotherapy using the method of Structural Dream Analysis investigated whether culture and culturally shaped mentalities have an influence on the content and structure of dreams. To investigate whether there are systematic differences between Western and Japanese dreams a German sample of 11 cases with 140 dreams was compared with a sample of 13 Japanese cases with 168 dreams. There were statistically significant differences found in the distribution of dream patterns as well as typical motifs characteristic for the two samples. These differences in the dreams reflect the typical differences in the mentalities of Germany (emphasizing individuality, autonomy and a strong ego identity) versus Japan (emphasizing sociality, harmony and cooperation with others). This is interpreted as speaking for an influence of culture and mentalities on the content and structure of dreams, as well as providing additional support for the continuity hypothesis of dreaming and waking life.

description: This ‘How-to’ Guide supports researchers setting up participatory research projects that actively involve individuals with lived experience and patients as co-researchers in projects. With this guide, we intend to lead readers through each step of a participatory research project, provide principles and considerations as well as checklists and specific recommendations for involving co-researchers with UHR-experience in research. The concept of “ultra-high risk for psychosis” (UHR) aims to detect a risk for developing a later psychosis in help-seeking and symptomatic individuals at an early stage. Within the UHR-concept, distressing experiences below the threshold of manifest psychosis are defined as “attenuated psychotic symptoms” (APS) and “brief limited psychotic symptoms” (BLIPS) with respect to intensity or frequency criteria (Yung et al., 2003). This guide was co-created with co-researchers with lived experience and psychiatrists within the VOICE project, a participatory research project. The VOICE project has created new perspectives on diagnosis, treatment and research concerning the condition of “ultra-high risk for psychosis” (UHR) by including individuals with lived UHR-experience as co-researchers. By reflecting on current evidence-based guidelines on detection and treatment, unmet needs were identified and new insights into this state gained.
