Abstract
The purpose of this contribution is to review what Leslie Combs described as his “Life in Chaos” and our interaction over the years. Beginning with our meeting at the founding of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology in 1991, this tribute traces his journey from early educational challenges to his emergence as a pioneering theorist in consciousness studies. It highlights our decades-long collaboration in the study of dreams, creativity, and the evolution of consciousness, celebrating his enduring legacy as both a brilliant psychologist and a cherished friend.
Keywords: Allan Leslie Combs, Stanley Krippner, chaos theory, systems theory, consciousness studies, dreams, integral theory
