Thank you so much... I need more reference...can you help?

Go to:

and click on "look inside". Most of the extensive list of References from pp. 675 to 740 can be previewed, only a few pages are excluded. Also check the references at the end of Windt's downloadable articles on RG.

Niladri, are you focusing this question on the biological aspect of dreaming or the metaphysical? I ask because the biological point of view is rather limited from the metaphysical point of view but is seen as more objective.

In your profile, I see that you are studying ancient teaching. Dreaming in neuroscience and perception in philosophy are rather different cosmologies.

Tom Butler Arguably neuroscience and Indian philosophy intersect in the newly emerging science of mindfulness, which also has things to say about dreaming.

You referenced the dreaming book three times without explaining your point. I am not apt to spend $50 and time reading a 800+ page book to learn about her theory. Does she have a paper I can read that describes her theory and that is not behind a paywall?

I will say her description stopped me cold when I came to "locate." I am of the opinion that dreams and consciousness cannot be described as a place in the brain.

Are you answering for Niladri Das?

Tom Butler My "point" was simply to provide Das with references as per his request. I make no representations as to the worth or tenability of the positions therein, but if you look at Windt's bibiography you will see that items referenced cover all manner of theories, including substance dualism (a.k.a. Cartesian dualism) and property dualism. I mentioned Windt's work for purposes of the references therein and not because I subscribe to her theories.

I understand.

Hello Karl Pfeifer , I have subscribed her page but I did not get any bibliography list or references. Could you please send it? I need more references except Jennifer's understanding if possible.

Hello Tom Butler , actually, I am concerning the metaphysical status about dreaming state. Can we say that dream is an illusion, hallucination or not ? Basically, I am working on this issue from the perspective of Indian philosophy. In Indian philosophy, Advaita tradition(almost 1200 years old) is a monastic system, an idealist and Nyaya system is a realist.

In the light of Neuroscience, I am looking for the physiological structure of brain during dream..... Could you give me any reference on it ?

Download the ones about dreaming and look at the bibliographies. What about the Amazon link I gave you? Surely in 65 pages of bibliography there must be some relevant articles listed.

I can't help much in the way of academic research on Neuroscience or dreaming. I can only give you a suggested direction to look.

The Katha Upanishad tells us that mind is the driver and not the chariot. That idea is reinforced by more contemporary emerging understanding that mostly unconscious mental processing precedes conscious perception. Chapter Our Unconscious Mind

"Decision-making May Be Surprisingly Unconscious Activity" at https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080414145705.htm

Psi field research is beginning to show that perception and expression have decidedly nonphysical characteristics that turn us more toward duality. http://deanradin.com/evidence/evidence.htm.

One of the more important propositions of modern parapsychology is James Carpenter's First Sight Theory http://www.drjimcarpenter.com/about/documents/FirstSightformindfield.pdf

I hope this helps a little.

@KeyMacfarlane I have already read his book.... this is really wonderful. I have enjoyed.

@tombutler Thank you so much for your cooperation....I would definitely follow on it.
