The aim of this two-day conference is to facilitate collaboration among researchers working in the different aspects of the nature of dream, hallucination and imagination experience by considering both empirical findings and carrying out philosophical enquiries.
While the conference focuses in the realm of Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science, we welcome proposals that work on other related areas, but that still have as central focus the nature and phenomenology of dreams, hallucination and imaginatio
