Document Summary
Hints about dream mechanisms from dream content, assessing dream content. Source amnesia: remembering a previous nights dream; so not remembering. Systematic assessment -- quantifying dreams may have reporter/researcher bias. The same event may be interpreted in varying levels of emotions making it subjective to each individuals perception. Dream bizarreness : difficulty trying to put dream together that you put it tgt into a story. Experimental demands: experimenter bias in pushing towards results they want. A. a. i. 1. reports may bias towards meeting those demands. If subject knows too much about experiment, their dream. Issue of dreaming accuracy; whether what they"re remembering. A. a. i. 1. is accurate or if they subconsciously are making things up --- the only witness is the individual themselves and therefore no evidence to support or counter accounts. Hall/van de castle system of quantitative dream content. Define what would count as different types of dream elements when going through narratives.
