a   day    that   included   meditation   than   on   mornings
following a day with no meditation.  For  28 consecutive
mornings,   participants   in   that   project   recorded  the
amount  of  their  dream recall,  using a specified system
of measurement.  They also noted on their tally sheets if
they  had  meditated  the  day  before.  Some participants
meditated  on  all  28  days  of the project,  and some did
not  meditate  at  all.   But  there  were  169  people  who
meditated on some days and not on others. Each of these
person's  average  dream  recall  was then computed (see
page 66) for  those  mornings  following  meditation and
was compared with the person's  average dream recall on
mornings following no meditation.  It was found, overall,
that there was an average  of  21%  more dream recall on
mornings  following  meditation.   Breaking  down  these
overall  results,  there  were  114  people  who  had more
dream recall  on mornings following  a day that included
meditation,  the  amount  of  the  improvement averaging
79%.  The remaining  55 people had an average  of  32%
less  dream  recall  on  mornings  after  a  day when they
meditated  than on mornings following  a  day when they
didn't  meditate.   Why  was  meditation  associated  with
greater   dream  recall   for   most   people   but   not  for
everyone?  We hope that further analysis of our data will
yield  some  information  concerning  this  difference in
effect.
