Suspended Moments

"Timeless Realms:  Perception and Experience in VR" delves deep into the fascinating realm where dreams intersect with our perception of time. Drawing from interdisciplinary research in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and cultural studies, this book explores the phenomenon of time dilation within dreams-the intriguing alteration of time perception that occurs when we dream. From Freudian psychoanalytic insights to cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience, each chapter unveils the mechanisms through which dreams compress, expand, and reshape temporal sequences.
Readers are taken on a journey through the psychological landscapes where dreams serve as windows into the unconscious, revealing hidden desires and emotions processed through altered temporal frameworks. Technological advancements in sleep research, such as virtual reality simulations and wearable devices, offer new methodologies to explore how environmental cues and cognitive expectations influence our subjective experience of time within dreams.
