Following Jung s approach to analytical psychology according to whom the unconscious is the great mother of consciousness I have attempted to interpret a number of dreams I had while writing my PhD thesis, endeavoring to uncover the so-called expansion of consciousness. In this essay I intend to synthesize the conscious-unconscious dialectics through the tentative interpretation of the symbols in my dreams. I am looking at the expansion of consciousness as a theme of studies on its own. This is a fundamental topic of studies in teachers education, connected with the expansion of consciousness in the realm of the unknown, or the unconscious. The proposal of consciousness expansion through one dream attempts primarily to reveal some aspects of Hegel s dialectic philosophy, an invaluable reference in educational literature, unfortunately ignored by most educators. Another dream has also contributed to develop my theoretical and methodological options in the realm of consciousness expansion. The analysis of a set of dreams helps to expand the understanding and meaningfulness of this theme of studies, not only in personal terms, but also in teaching practice. This study imbricates an interdisciplinary approach to education, Jung s search for the self, and consciousness expansion. / Esta tese busca compreender o sentido e o significado de uma expansão da consciência através do inconsciente e da metodologia interdisciplinar da educação. A partir da abordagem da psicologia analítica de Jung, que considera que o inconsciente é a grande mãe da consciência, a pesquisadora procura interpretar alguns sonhos que teve durante a realização dessa tese, no intuito de desvendar o que chama de expansão de consciência. Portanto, esse estudo pretende ser uma síntese da dialética consciente-inconsciente vivenciada pela pesquisadora, através da tentativa de interpretação dos símbolos presentes nos sonhos, tendo como objetivo a própria temática da expansão da consciência. Um tema considerado fundamental para a pesquisadora, que leciona em uma Faculdade de Formação de Professores e se preocupa com a formação humana num sentido mais amplo, de expandir consciências em relação a tudo que seja percebido como desconhecido, como inconsciente. Num primeiro momento, esta expansão de consciência, através de um sonho, procura desvendar alguns aspectos da filosofia dialética de Hegel, pois esta filosofia foi percebida como pouco conhecida e valorizada pelos educadores e pela própria pesquisadora, embora tenha influenciado bastante a literatura educacional. Um outro sonho também contribui para a expansão da consciência da pesquisadora em relação a sua opção teórico-metodológica. E a análise de mais um conjunto de sonhos favorece que esse tema adquira sentido e significado para a pesquisadora e para a sua atuação como docente. A perspectiva interdisciplinar da educação; a busca do si-mesmo, na teoria junguiana; e a questão da expansão da consciência, são percebidos como caminhos intimamente inter-relacionados nesse estudo.

Η σύγχρονη μελέτη της κεντρικής και αυτόνομης δραστηριότητας θεωρούνται χρήσιμες στην ανάδειξη της σχέσης των δύο συστημάτων και της φυγόκεντρου ανατροφοδότησης των περιφερικών αλλαγών. Στην εργασία αυτή διερευνώνται οι πιθανές σχέσεις μεταξύ κεντρικών και αυτόνομων απαντήσεων σε σωματαισθητικούς ερεθισμούς. Η ηλεκτροδερμική δραστηριότητα (ΗΔΑ) είναι δείκτης της αυτόνομης δραστηριότητας. Προκλητά δυναμικά και ΗΔΑ καταγράφονταν ταυτόχρονα έπειτα από μια σειρά ερεθισμών του μέσου νεύρου ,με τρείς διαφορετικές εντάσεις, σε έξι φυσιολογικά άτομα. Η χαμηλότερη ένταση ερεθισμού ρυθμίζονταν έτσι ώστε να μη γίνεται αντιληπτή από το άτομα. Τα επάρματα P40, P100, N200 και P300 των προκλητών δυναμικών εξήχθησαν από το καταγεγραμμένο σήμα. Μελετήσαμε το πλάτος και τον λανθάνοντα χρόνο και διερευνήσαμε την πιθανή συσχέτιση των μεγεθών αυτών της ΗΔΑ. Χρησιμοποιήσαμε την συνηθισμένη μέθοδο της μεσοποίησης (average), καθώς και την προσέγγιση των μοναδιαίων απαντήσεων, εξάγωντας τις απαντήσεις με την χρήση χωρικού φίλτρου. Το συμπαθητικό νευρικό σύστημα φαινόταν να απαντά ακόμα και σε ερεθισμούς μη αντιληπτούς από το υποκείμενο. Η φλοιική επεξεργασία των αντιληπτών και μη ερεθισμάτων όπως αποτυπώνονταν με τα επάρματα των προκλητών δυναμικών, φαίνεται να είναι όμοια και στις δύο περιπτώσεις κατά τη διάρκεια των πρώτων 40ms έπειτα από τον ερεθισμό, ενώ τα μακρά κύματα ήταν απόνατ στους μη αντιληπτούς ερεθισμούς. Τα πλάτη της ΗΔΑ και του P300 με την προσέγγιση των μοναδιαίων απαντήσεων παρουσίαζαν μια σημαντική θετική συσχέτιση. / Concurrent studies of central and autonomic activity are considered useful in elucidating the relationship between the two systems and indicating the centripetal feedback of peripheral changes. The SSR (sympathetic skin response) is one index of autonomic arousal. In our study we examine the possible relationships between central and autonomic responses to somatosensory stimuli. EPs (evoked potentials) and SSRs were simultaneously recorded during a series of electrical stimuli of median nerve in six normal adults using three different intensities of stimuli. The weakest of them was unperceived by subject. The P40, P100, N200 and P300 waves of EPs were extracted and their latencies and amplitudes were analysed in order to find correlations with those of the SSRs. We used the conventional method of signal averaging and the single trial (ST) approach, as the EP waves were subtracted by spatial filtering. Interestingly, sympathetic nervous system seemed to react even to stimuli unperceived by the subject. The cortical processing of consciously perceived and unperceived somatosensory stimuli as it was expressed by the evoked potentials seems to be identical during the first 40ms after the stimulus onset while later waves were absent for unperceived stimuli. SSR and P300 amplitude at the ST level had a positive correlation.
