Hypotheses concerning the relations among personality types, neuroticism, and the recall of archetypal dreams were derived from Jungian theory. Dream records were obtained from a nonclinical population in two stages: first, recall of the most recent, most vivid, and earliest remembered dreams (N = 146), and then dream recall on awakening, over an average of 23 nights, from 30 of the...

This research was directed toward the contradiction sustained by cognitive dream psychology, which on the one hand regards dreaming as higher symbolic activity and, on the other, sees its organizational and functional characteristics as derivative and/or inferior to those of waking consciousness. Study 1 evaluates the degree of self-reflective meta-cognition in dreams from different sleep...

Ketamine is a rapid acting parentrally administered non barbiturate anaesthetic agent with minimum cardio respiratory depressant effect as compared to others (Paul et al 1982). It is in clinical use for more than ten years and used safely in aged and critically ill patients (Lorhan & Limppman 1971, Barson and Aren 1974). In sub-anaesthetic doses it has been safely used to produce obstetrical...

This study investigated a view of dreaming known as the Continuity Hypothesis. The continuity hypothesis postulates a relationship - a continuity between nocturnal dreaming and day dreaming as a continuous fantasy process. The continuity hypothesis is constrained by individual differences in reports of experience and by the fantasy situation. The continuity hypothesis can be examined through...

One way to study dream function is to use dream content as an independent variable. Erroneous or inconstant definition of the dream content, however, would undermine its use as a predictor. This study describes a dream interview technique that allows assessment and control of the distorting effect from using, in addition to a single report of manifest content, associative dream content and...

Perceived interactions between the dream division of consciousness and waking consciousness were investigated by asking subjects to attribute their moods to one of ten possible causes and to rate the influence of their dreams for twenty-eight days. Over time, some subjects occasionally evaluated dreams as the dominant cause of their moods. Across subjects and days, 11 percent of recalled dreams...

Two reports of the same REM dream, which were collected 5 hr. apart in waking condition, were compared to two film reports, collected under the same conditions. Differences in the addition of content elements and associative sentences between first and second reports of the dream and film materials were analyzed. Keeping the physiological condition constant during the interval between the two...

ABSTRACT Alpha activity during REM sleep without signs of awakening can discriminate between the blind classification of prelucid, lucid, and nonlucid dreams. Ten good dream recallers were aroused after relatively high or low amplitude REM alpha. The spectral and temporal characteristics of EEG alpha within each REM period were associated with lucidity and other content dimensions. Each type of...

The question of age changes in frequency of dream recall was addressed in a questionnaire survey of 295 collage-educated men and women aged seventeen to seventy. Dream recall was found to be maximal for men and women alike during the college years, with a subsequent decline to a much lower level in the forties and beyond. The drop in recall frequency is paralleled by a declining interest in,...

Alarcon, Dickinson, and Dohn (J. Nerv. Ment. Dis., 170: 217-223, 1982) recently reviewed the phenomenon of memory flashback following use of hallucinogenic drugs. They point out that while there are a considerable number of explanations concerning the flashback mechanism, little is known about the real causes. This paper examines flashback following drug ingestion in the light of other memory...
