A renowned philosopher of the mind, also known for his groundbreaking work on Buddhism and cognitive science, Evan Thompson combines the latest neuroscience research on sleep, dreaming, and meditation with Indian and Western philosophy of mind, casting new light on the self and its relation to the brain. Thompson shows how the self is a changing process, not a static thing. When we are awake we identify with our body, but if we let our mind wander or daydream, we project a mentally imagined self into the remembered past or anticipated future. As we fall asleep, the impression of being a bounded self distinct from the world dissolves, but the self reappears in the dream state. If we have a lucid dream, we no longer identify only with the self within the dream. Our sense of self now includes our dreaming self, the "I" as dreamer. Finally, as we meditate—either in the waking state or in a lucid dream—we can observe whatever images or thoughts arise and how we tend to identify with them as "me." We can also experience sheer awareness itself, distinct from the changing contents that make up our image of the self. Contemplative traditions say that we can learn to let go of the self, so that when we die we can witness its dissolution with equanimity. Thompson weaves together neuroscience, philosophy, and personal narrative to depict these transformations, adding uncommon depth to life's profound questions. Contemplative experience comes to illuminate scientific findings, and scientific evidence enriches the vast knowledge acquired by contemplatives.

Her cold breath on my face made each hair on my body rise. She grabbed my throat in a flash and I felt her nails digging into my skin. How does it feel to look into the eyes of the dead? When quirky, run-of-the-mill teenager, Lana-Ann Manson is faced with terrifying dreams that seep into her reality, she comes to learn that her presumably average existence may not be as predictable as she had imagined it to be. Imprisoned in a world of continuous dj vu due to her spine-tingling dreams, Lana-Ann attempts to live a normal life with her aunt Margaret and annoyingly perfect, older sister Carol. She becomes wrapped up in a paranormal world where she finds that she can manipulate dreams and people. With the help of a friend, Lana-Ann learns about her gift of dream-walking but is that enough to maintain the balance of life, love and everything else important to her?

Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers attempts to invade the dream world, bringing back the weirdest and most terrifying tidbits-all for the amusement of the reader. The authors in these pages have dared to draw from their dream worlds, beating a path through the wilderness of the human subconscious in order to take us to places better left unexplored. But that's okay. Fiction can't hurt us. Neither can dreams. This much we know. We believe it. And yet, somehow, fear lingers, because we cannot be sure... Can we ever fully trust the hidden part of ourselves that seems to have a life of its own? Can we ever feel one hundred percent comfortable with those elusive shadows that flit in and out of our minds, leaving no trace in our memory? We can't help but wonder about dreams... What are they...? -Lindsey Beth Goddard: Author of Quick Fix: A Taste of Terror

Through extensive textual analysis, this book concludes that the prevailing opinion about the nature of modern and contemporary philosophy is wrong. It maintains that almost all modern and contemporary philosophy is deconstructed, secularized, Augustinian theology, not philosophy. The work is divided into eight chapters, a guest Foreword by Herbert I. London (President of the Hudson Institute and Olin Professor of Humanities at New York University) notes, bibliography, and an index. Chapter 1 (Protagoras Sees the Ghost of Hippo) considers Cartesian thought, Hobbes, and Newton. Chapter 2 (I Feel the Spirit Move Me) examines Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. Chapter 3 (The Urge to Emerge) investigates Lessing and Rousseau. Chapters 4 (To Dream the Impossible Dream) and 5 (Wake Up, Wake Up, You Sleepyhead) treat Kant. Chapters 6 (I Am Music) and 7 (Looking for God in All The Wrong Places) deal with Hegel. Chapter 8 (Dirty Dancing: Higher Education as Enlightened Swindling) concludes that a lack of philosophical and historical experience coupled with a widespread inability to read philosophical texts according to the intention of the author (1) causes us to mistake secularized theology for philosophy and (2) is a main cause for the decline of contemporary universities.

For the past one hundred years, psychotherapy has neglected the inner world of image in favor of words. Now, Dr. Gerald Epstein presents the next evolution in therapy -- Waking Dream.Epstein's approach is brief, effective and powerful. Waking Dream Therapy uses mental imagery to journey inward.

It appeals both to clinicians and to anyone who seeks self-transformation.

When the postwar boom began to dissipate in the late 1960s, Mexico's middle classes awoke to a new, economically terrifying world. And following massacres of students at peaceful protests in 1968 and 1971, one-party control of Mexican politics dissipated as well. The ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party struggled to recover its legitimacy, but instead saw its support begin to erode. In the following decades, Mexico's middle classes ended up shaping the history of economic and political crisis, facilitating the emergence of neo-liberalism and the transition to democracy. Waking from the Dream tells the story of this profound change from state-led development to neo-liberalism, and from a one-party state to electoral democracy. It describes the fraught history of these tectonic shifts, as politicians and citizens experimented with different strategies to end a series of crises. In the first study to dig deeply into the drama of the middle classes in this period, Walker shows how the most consequential struggles over Mexico's economy and political system occurred between the middle classes and the ruling party.
