And though dreams playedimportant role and sometimes even changed course of mankind history, very seldom both doctors and patientstalked about it. Article is case report of precongnitive dream of patient with heart attack and analysis of populationof consecutive 100 patients admitted to hospital with heart attack in relation to presence and meaning ofprecognitive dreams. Our study proves that we can talk about precognitive dreams in population of patients withheart attack however what may be their influence on patients＇ wellbeing is matter of open questions.展开更多

Furthermore, awareness of 3-dimensional space entails some surprisingly tenacious optical illusions, as demonstrated by an experiment in the text. Awareness of linear time is also crucial and complex. As a consequence, synthetic consciousness cannot be realized by simply intercomnecting a large number of electronic circuits constructed from ordinary chips and transistors. Since consciousness is a subjective experience, there is no sufficient condition for consciousness that can be experimentally confirmed. The most we can hope for is agreement on the necessary conditions for consciousness. Toward that end, this paper reviews some relevant clinical phenomena.展开更多
