very  definite  guidelines  to  follow  in using the ratings.
There   are  seven  categories,  or  rating  values,  in  this
system:    Zero   (0),    Awareness   (A),    Indefinite   (I),
Fragmentary (F),  Partial (P),  Majority (M),  and Whole
(W).  Here are the explanations and guidelines for using
this system:

Zero (0)   "I  don't  recall  dreaming  at  all."  This  is  the
        easiest  category  to  define,  and  is  used  on those
        mornings  when  you  awaken  with  no recollection
        of  dreaming.  Not  only  are  you  unable to recall a
        dream,  but also you have  no recollection of having
        dreamed at all.
Awareness  (A):   "I  know  I  was  dreaming,  but  I  can't
        recall anything of the dream itself." The awareness
        rating (A)  is  used on those mornings when there is
        awareness   of   having   dreamed   but   without  any
        recall  of  the  dream. Both the zero and awareness
        categories  apply  to  mornings  without  any  dream
        recall,  but  the  awareness category  is different in
        that  it  represents  at  least  an  awareness that there
        was  dreaming.  We've  all  had  mornings  when  we
        wake up,  and  then  go  about our business,  without
        any   awareness  whatsoever   that   we   might   have
        been  dreaming  that  night;   or  mornings  when  we
        wake up,  hoping  to  have had  a  dream, but find not
        even  the  slightest  clue   to  suggest  that   we  have
        been dreaming— these mornings would receive the
        zero   rating.    On   the   other   hand,   we've   often
        awakened  with  the  feeling  that we were dreaming,
        but  try  as  we  might,   we  can't  retrieve  even  the
        vaguest  memory   of  the  dream.   These  mornings
        receive the awareness rating. Awareness mornings
        represent   a   seemingly   small,   but   nevertheless
        significant,   improvement  over  zero  mornings  in
        terms of attunement to dreams.
Indefinite (I): "I know I was dreaming, yet all I can recall
        is  the  vague  feeling  of  distress  (or,  "... all  I  can
        recall  is  the image of a threatening face . . . "),  and
        I  don't   know   what   the   dream   was  about."  The
