“…Contemporary investigators, however, refute the notion of disguise and assert that the manifest dream content is the datum of interest (Breger, 196? ;Breger et al, 1971;Brenneis, 1976;Hall, 1953aHall, » 1953bHertz & Jensen, 1975;Sheppard & Karon, 1964;Sheppard & Saul, 1958). Dream reports are viewed as descriptions of an experience.…”

Thés material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

“…It was differentiated whether threat was directed towards the dreamer or towards others in the dream. The dreamer's tendency to "distancing" was taken into consideration by Sheppard and Saul (1958) and Sheppard (1963). It was suggested that the more the dreamer portrayed his or her impulses, urges, drives and other motivating forces, as not being part of himself or herself, the more he or she put them at a distance from his or her ego.…”

“…Saul and Sheppard (1956) developed a method for the quantitative estimation of hostility expressed in dreams. Various ego functions in the manifest dream were studied (Sheppard & Saul, 1958), and an ego rating system was supposed to reflect different degrees of ego awareness. The ego rating system demonstrated an advantage over clinical judgement (Sheppard, 1963).…”

The informational value of dreams and associations

The manifest dream has usually been the object of study by researchers, while psychotherapists mainly have paid attention to the latent content of the dream, reached through free associations. The question is which aspects of the dream, manifest content or associations, yield information about the dreamer's psychic life. In the present study it is suggested that the manifest dream to a large extent maintains thematic continuity with the dreamer's associations. However, with regard to emotions, there is no clear overlap between the information contained in the manifest dream and in its associations. The associations make the dream into the dreamer's own personal dream. Associating to a dream changes strangers into known people in the life of the dreamer. The dreamer comes to recognize aspects of himself or herself in these people. In associations, the dreamers portray themselves as more responsible of emotions, while they in dreams rather ascribe emotions to others, and they themselves become objects of these emotions. The author argues for the value of both the manifest dream in its own right and the enhanced experiental closeness afforded by the dreamer's associations.
