involved,   providing   a   basis   for   comparison   of  the
different    dream    manifestations    of    each   emotion.
Telepathy,  precognition,  premonition  and  other forms
of ESP  in dreams are also catalogued, as well as dreams
involving the deceased.  Dreams that were interpreted as
involving a spiritual influence have also been indexed, as
well   as   dreams   that   were   interpreted   as  involving
experiences  of  past  lives.  The  index thus provides the
means  to  develop  hypotheses  and  theories  of various
types of dream activity as suggested by the readings.
   Using the Research Reference Index it is also possible
to develop testable applications  of dream interpretation.
For example, the category "Death in a dream" focuses on
those dreams in which the dreamer saw either himself or
another   as   dead   or   dying.   With  the  interpretations
given,  and  the  supplemental  background information, a
researcher  may  compare  dreams showing true physical
death  with  those  in  which  the  death  was  a  figurative
representation.  Combining  the background information
provided on each dreamer with  the material listed under
the   heading    "Relationship   with    dream   figure"   the
researcher  may  compare   dreams  in  which  the  dream
figure  is  interpreted as a representation of some aspect
of  the dreamer himself  with those dreams  in which the
dream figure  is interpreted  as  actually pertaining to the
person  figuring  in  the dream.  Finally, there is a special
listing   of   all   symbols   that   were   discussed   in  the
interpretations.  A perspective on how dream symbolism
is  viewed  from  the  psychic state can be obtained from
the  use  of  this  listing,  giving  the  researcher a special
framework for approaching dream symbolism.
  It is hoped that these resource volumes are sufficiently
complete  and  well  indexed to encourage investigations
into the dream  readings  and  to  make research possible
on a wide variety of topics.
