I’m Adriana (she/her) and I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for the Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh. Currently, I'm investigating the links between immersive sleep experiences, such as dreaming, and other imaginative experiences during wakefulness like daydreaming. In my research, I encourage the dialogue between Western and Eastern philosophical traditions by examining how Indian philosophical traditions, such as the Advaita Vedanta and Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, conceive the idea of a contentless state of awareness during sleep. https://www.adriana-alcarazsanchez.xyz/
