answer
all sorts of questions about the scene,
as
if the dreamer had before him a picture
of
the dream for review. If onlyselected
visual
images
are associated with the memory for the
dream,
and the dreamer can
not scan the
memory
image to pick out additional
detail,
then
the visual category should be rated "1."
Color (C): See previous discussion of color recall.
Positive
Emotion (E+): If you do not recall feeling
any positive,
pleasing
or supportive emotion
score the
dream
"0." If you recall from the
content of
the
dream that you felt such positive emotion,
but
you cannot now actually experience
that
emotion
as you recollect the dream, score "1."
If
when you recollect the dream you
can still
experience
the feeling of the positive emotion,
score
"2." If you awaken from the
dream in an
especially
good mood, it is very likely that you
can
trace this feeling to something experienced
in
the dream, for which you
can score the
dream
"2."
Negative
Emotion (E-): The same scoring system applies,
except
in
this category we are dealing with negative,
upsetting
and frightening emotions, and other
feelings
that are unpleasant to experience.
Sounds (So): A variety of sounds and noises sometimes
occur
in dreams, often related to a particular
activity
in focus, sometimes as background: the
crack
of a bat in a baseball game, the cheers of
the
crowd, sounds of
nature, music, the
breaking
of glass. If sound does not figure
in
the
dream as it is recalled, score the dream "0."
If
you recall hearing sounds
in the dream,
either
as background or
accompanying a
particular
action, but you
do not actually
experience
the "ear" feeling
of hearing the
sounds
as you recollect the dream, score
the
dream
"1." If your memory for the dream
is so
