I was encourage to see you also discuss Bea’s view of her dreams after doing the word analysis. It’s true as you say, there are problems of objectivity in analysis and interpretations and claims about the meaning of dreams.

Since you also have an interest in Lincoln’s precognitive dreams as noted in your post last February, I thought I would bring to your attention a case study of 12 nights of dreaming with corresponding matching events I am just finishing up. It can be viewed at http://www.weirddreams.org
These are my dreams and they are in keeping with Hall’s theory with the addition that some of the events are in the future and not continuous with waking life at the time of the dream.

I think a blind study would not be able to pick these up do to the fact that some symbols found in the dreams match with metaphors in conversations had at the time of the dream matches future events. This contributes to the elusiveness of understanding another’s dreams.

I look forward to more research from you and in the cognitive theory of dreams in general. It’s encouraging to see researchers like yourself asking for the dreamers view of a researcher’s inferences.
