    Comparing reports of the same dream: proposals for a structural analysis

    Some methodological problems posed by previous research on the relationships between dreams and memory have led us to develop a set of procedures for comparing rwo successive reports of the same dream. Based on Foulkes' Scoring System for Latent Structure, these procedures are: (a) a series of indices of structural organization calculated for each report; (b) digraphs from the two reports which are superimposed to show the additions, conservations, and omissions in each report; (c) for the elements conserved across reports, an analysis of the transformations effected on them; (d) an analysis of the transformations effected on the motivational structure of the two reports

    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 reports, the integration of content elements and associative sentences was significantly greater for dream reports than for film reports
