The biology of dreaming o one would normally consider David Maurice, Ph.D., professor of ocular physiology in the Department of Ophthalmology at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, a revolutionary. Nevertheless, he has reignited a decades-long controversy that could spark a revolutionary re-evaluation of an entire field of behavioral research. Dr. Maurice has developed a startling new line of scientific inquiry that, when added to other findings, could change our understanding of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and the nature of dreams. What Maurice has done is to suggest an alternative explanation for the phenomenon known as REM sleep, the stage in which the eyes rapidly move and most dreams occur. "Without REM," Maurice told 21stC, "our corneas would starve and suffocate while we are asleep with our eyes closed." Maurice's interest in REM began a few years ago. "What is at stake here is a theory of dreams that is scientifically valid," Dr. Interpretation vs. observation Drs. No final answer in sight Neil B.

How to Deal with Bitchy Co-Workers Column by Janine Popick, Inc.com "Girl Power Female CEO's" April 8, 2010 There, I said it. I've even used the B-word on my own occasionally. And I'm not talking about using it when it comes to ambitious, driven women, I'm talking about down right bitchy women. I've been pretty lucky in many of my work experiences. Because there is a dark side. I've seen Betty "rat out" Sally any time she was late to work, or talk about a minor mistake Sally made directly to their boss. I've witnessed Lauren create fabricated stories to her co-workers about how impossible her imposed deadlines were from her boss, thereby generating lots of negativity towards her manager. To make herself look like a superstar, I've seen Janet lie to her co-workers to get something she needed done by telling them that her boss needed it as soon as possible. I hired Kelly's boss (a woman), and asked Kelly to set up and share her office with her new boss when she arrived.

Brainwave Entrainment for Lucid Dreams Brainwave Entrainment for Lucid Dreams (or just really cool experiences) Of all the things I have researched about lucid dreaming, brainwave entrainment has been the most interesting for me. Brainwave entrainment is creating binaural beats to cause your brainwaves to move towards a specific frequency. Human brainwaves are most often found between 0 and 30Hz. Since the human ear is not capable of hearing these frequencies they must be simulated. What does all of this have to do with lucid dreaming? 0.5 - 4Hz are delta waves - Deep sleep occurs here.4 - 8Hz are theta waves - Drowsiness and first stages of sleep.8 - 14Hz are alpha waves - A relaxed feeling, but still aware of your environment.14 - 30Hz are beta waves - You are very alert and focused in these frequencies. The theory is that if an applied stimulus of a certain frequency is listened to, your brainwaves will follow it. How I use this to induce lucid dreams is setting up a preset pattern with the BrainWave Generator. 1. 2. 3.
