明晰夢のアトラス。深層心理学から意識のフィールドへ。

深層心理を探求するための地図、実践法、理論。実践演習60種付き。

de Bruno Del Medico ...

Series Libro 955 - JAP - PensareDiverso
1918年6月7日の夜明け、ヨーロッパが第一次世界大戦の炎に包まれていた頃、英国の哲学者兼数学者アルフレッド・ノース・ホワイトヘッドは、驚くほど鮮明な夢を日記に記した。「自分が夢を見ていることを完全に自覚していたにもかかわらず、その世界は現実そのものよりも現実的に感じられた」。公式な伝記ではしばしば見落とされるこの短い記述は、明晰夢が思考の歴史を静かに貫いてきたことを示す数多くの手がかりの一つであり、チベットの神秘家たちのノート、中世のアラビアの夢占い書、19世紀の旅行記、そして科学者や詩人たちの孤独な直感の中にその姿を見出すことができる。本書は、まさにその認識から出発する。明晰夢は、エキゾチックな心理学的珍事ではなく、人間が自らの無意識を探求するためにこれまでに手にした最も強力な道具の一つである。躊躇の余地はない。直接的な経験が示すように、夢の中で意識が覚醒すると ...
