Hi everybody. As I was reading through all your blogs this weekend, I noticed some common themes emerging, so I thought I'd collect them and link them to each other. So, I'm listing a series of topics and linking to blogs where these are discussed! My apologies if I've left some pertinent entries out. I'm sure I have! If you notice some, maybe you can post a comment to point it out.

Common themes within dreams I have noticed. A woman dreamer being a cop or a spy and a pursuit of somthing in the dreams - I found in Searching Buddha's "Crooked Cops and Demon Babies" where she is a cop with 2 no-good partners and in Lily Briscoe's Charlie Angels type dream of 3 female spies called "Spies like us".
We have discussed in class that snakes and babies are making appearances in a few dreams.
Also Prison has come up a couple of times - male dreamers - Mr. Tompsons "Prison" and Lydgate "On the Run".
This makes me wonder if studies have been done to compare the dreams of male dreamers with female dreamers.

silent partner: I had noticed these patterns too. We don't have a big enough sample to draw any real conclusions, but there is a form of statistical dream research, "Content Analysis," that counts details like the ones you point out and then draws conclusions about various types of dreamers, etc. The biggest proponent of the method is G. William Domhoff, at UC Santa Cruz. You can take a look at his site (also linked on Blackboard): http://psych.ucsc.edu/dreams/
