Extract

There have been abundant studies of dreams from the point of view of their content, but few have examined the mode of dreams irrespective of content. For analysing and interpreting the content of dreams first-hand accounts have been used, but these verbalizations—owing to communication limitations alone—are far from identical with the dream experience. These verbalizations necessarily lump together the elements of the experience in order to provide a coherent description.
