The concept of transliminality has been variously defined, but usually with the implication that it involves greater incursions from the subliminal consciousness, 'across the threshold', into supraliminal awareness. The concept was derived from a series of factor analyses and eventually embraced the variables paranormal belief and experience, mystical experience, creative personality, manic experience, magical ideation, absorption, fantasy proneness, hyperaesthesia, and (positive) attitude towards dream interpretation. This paper reviews the evidence and conceptualization leading to the concept of transliminality. It analyses the various constituents of transliminality, suggesting its relevance to psychological and parapsychological research and to the concept of psychosis.
