Consciousness: Awareness of things inside and outside of ourselves
Awareness 3 types
1. Sensory• aware of your environment through sight,
taste, smell, hearing
Are U Always aware of your environment?
Continued…..
2. Direct inner awareness• Being aware of things inside of yourself• Thinking abstract concepts, memories
ex: feeling angry, love, fairness, ( no hearing, touching or smelling involved)
Continued…..
3. Sense of self (each person experiences)• Aware of ourselves and our existence• A child does not use his name until he
realizes I am an Unique individual separate from other people
3 Levels of Consciousness
Preconscious level
• What you can recall if you had to
Unconscious level (subconscious)
• is unavailable to awareness• Information is hidden• Allowing things to interfere with your plans
Non-conscious level
• Biological functions– Blinking of your eyes– Breathing– Nails and hair growing– Pupils adjusting to light
Section 2Sleep and Dreams
Freud’s theory on Dreams
• Certain memories are painful or considered unacceptable.
• We develop defense mechanisms to push things from our conscious mind into our unconscious mind
Altered states of consciousness
• In which a person’s sense of self or sense of the world changes
• Sleeping• Under the influences of drugs• Meditation• Biofeedback• Hypnosis
SLEEPING
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS
MEDIATION
BIOFEEDBACK
Hypnosis
Sleep and Dreams
• Circadian Rhythms–Biological clocks• Body temperature, blood pressure and
sleepiness and wakefulness during a 24 hour period
Sleep
• Defined in terms of brains wave patterns which can be measured by a EEG (electroencephalograp)
Stages of sleep
1. Lightest sleep- Brief dream like images that resemble vivid photographs 30-40 minutes
2. Starting deeper sleep3. Deep sleep stage-- slow brain waves4. Deepest sleep stage-- hardest to wake up in5. REM (rapid eye movement sleep)
Continue…..
• The first 4 stages are known as NREM --non rapid eye movement or
• Most people go through these stages 5 X during the night
• Periods of REM become longer each time• Morning REM may last as long as 30 minutes
Why do we sleep?
• Revive the tired body• Build up resistance to infection• Brain development in babies and young
children• Exercise the brain in babies• Release growth hormone
• No sleep– irritable, memory lapses,
and speech difficulties
• REM rebound from no sleep– learn slower, forget more
rapidly
• Can you catch up on your sleep?
DREAMS
• During REM most vivid• Black and white and Color• Every time we sleep we dream• People dream in real time
Sleep Problems
• Insomnia– the inability to sleep
• Nightmares– common for most
people• Night Terrors– same as nightmares but
much more sever– Children have them
Continued…..
• Sleep walking– usually out grow this with age
• Sleep Apnea– breathing is interrupted (linked to SIDS)
• Narcolepsy– rare sleep problem– Suddenly falling a sleep– No known cause
Meditation, Biofeedback and HypnosisSection 3
Meditationa method to narrow their consciousness
• the stresses of the outside world fade away
Biofeedback
• A system that provides or feeds back information about something happening in the body.
• Used to relax, slow the heart, lower blood pressure, and release muscle tension.
