IBN SINA. Physics Of Dream. Księgi Snów (Dreams Chronicles)
Abstract
The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the oniric system of Abuali ibni Sino (Avicenna), integrating medical, psychological, and eschatological perspectives. The study reconstructs the mechanism of sleep as a process of "vital spirit" (ruh) retention triggered by digestive vapors and examines dreams as a tool for humoral diagnostics. A central element is the discussion of psychic architecture, including the role of the imaginative faculty (al-mutakhayyila) as an autonomous data processor. On the noetic level, the article describes the "data retrieval" process from the Active Intellect via intuition (hads). The work concludes with the original "Oniric Protocol" – a technical description of concentration methods and sleep programming – and an analysis of the proofs for the immortality of the soul derived from the "Flying Man" experiment
