- Whew! I think we've finally gotten to a point in this thread where we
- can reasonably call it a night! I just want to point you towards a
- paper that relates to the above. It was written by Marty Seligman and
- (Jean ?) Yager around 1986. If that's not enough information for you
- to track it down, I'll dig it up again myself. In any case, Seligman
- and Yager surveyed a bunch of undergraduates here at Penn about the
- content of their dreams. I don't want to endorse the views S and Y
- expressed in the paper, but I do think you should track it down if you
- have the interest. From what I recall (it's been a few years), they
- did say some things similar to what you state in the paragraph above.
