QUESTIONS
for COMMENT
and RESEARCH



      Here  we  have  the  many  questions about dreams
submitted   by   our   participant—subscribers.   These
questions  provide  us  with  an  initial  impression  of
possible   directions   for   research   and  educational
programs  which  we  might  be  able to conduct in our
journal community.  These initial questions are only a
few of the many  about dreams  that might be asked. If
you have others, please send them to us.
      For  any  of  the  questions  below, we invite you to
submit  comments,  especially  if  you  have a personal
experience to share that would be helpful. If you know
of an article, book or other resource material that you
have found  helpful  relative to one of these questions,
let us know.  We  also  encourage  any  of  you  with an
interest  in  doing  research  to  submit  proposals  for
projects that would bear on any of these questions.

     Question: 
What  causes  dry  spells, when no dreams
are recalled? Are there rhythms or cycles in nature or in
our  own  makeup  that   create  cycles  of  high  and  low
dream recall periods?

     Question: Why are dream memories sometimes hazy
and at other times clear  and  vivid?  Is  there anything we
can  do  to  make our dream memories more vivid? Does
diet and the state  of  the  physical body affect the clarity
of dream recall?
