“…Much research has been carried out on dreams in relation to the pandemic and the main findings highlight the central role that emotional processing plays in the dream function. Our results, albeit taken with caution due to the large sample size, show that the nocturnal and diurnal affective processes perform complex but diversified functions, useful for human adaptation and the survival of trauma ( Borghi et al, 2021 ; Giovanardi and Spangler, 2021 ).…”

The Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic posed a significant challenge to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of each individual. It also brought the importance of daily emotional management for survival to the forefront of every human being. Our study aims to explore whether emotional processes perform different functions during waking thoughts and night dreams during the first lockdown in Italy. Utilizing Multiple Code Theory (MCT), our goal is to verify whether waking thoughts facilitate a functional disconnection in order to manage the trauma caused by COVID-19. Two online forms were distributed to random participants in the general population, presenting a total of 49 reports of night dreams (23 males; mean age 33.45 ds. 10.12; word mean 238.54 ds. 146.8) and 48 reports of waking thoughts (25 males; mean age 34.54 ds. 12.8; word mean M. 91 words ds. 23). The Referential Process linguistic measures and Affect Salience Index were utilized. It was found that Affect Salience is present in both dreams and in waking thoughts; however, Referential Activity was higher in dreams and Reflection and Affect words were higher in waking thoughts. Two different processes of emotional elaboration emerged. The results highlight the use of greater symbolization processes during dreams and a higher emotional distance in waking thoughts. These results confirm that during the nocturnal processes, there is greater contact with the processing of trauma, while during the diurnal processes, defensive strategies were activated to cope with and manage life via a moment of the defensive disruption of daily activities.

“…In our study, we relied on a wide range of scientific works concerning the topic of dreaming and lucid dreams. Within the scientific community, the study of dreams can be thematically categorized as follows: general sleep and dream research [17,18,33,34], philosophy of dreams [21,28 ], psychology of dream [22,25,27,31], neurobiological, and biophysical approach to dream [19,26,29,30], dreams as a gateway to subconsciousness [20, 23,24,32,35]. We draw your attention to the mass media outlet we have created, which has conducted a series of interviews with leading specialists in the field of sleep and dreams.…”

This article presents a study on the interdependence between subjective experience gained through lucid dreaming and objectively observable processes dependent on collective consciousness. Relying on theoretical research in the field of consciousness, collective conscious and unconscious, and experimental data, assumptions about the nature of such interrelation have been made. A concept is proposed for discussion on the formation of structures capable of utilizing such phenomena for controlled types of activities such as: making economic-political decisions, managing investments, and shaping social transformations. The article introduces a digital system for managing event forecasts and market trends developed by BlackRock Corporation. Various aspects of the market - overvalued companies, potential risks, the impact of political projects on the financial world, as well as possible areas of future financial crises - are under the purview of the artificial intelligence used within BlackRock.
