               vivid  that  you  can  experience the "ear feeling"
               of the sounds as you recollect the dream, score
               the dream "2"
Voices (Vo):This  dimension  is  related  to  the  Sounds
               category,     but    here    we     are    specifically
               interested   in   the   experience  of   the  human
               voice  —  talking,   shouting,  singing.   If  there
               are  no  human   or  human-like  voices  in  your
               dream,  score  it  "0."  If  there are voices  in the
               dream   but   you   cannot   experience   the  "ear
               feeling''  of   their   sounds,   score   the   dream
               "1."  Scoring the "1" for voices is very common,
               conversations  in  dreams   as   most   lack   this
               sound-of-voice  experience.  If  when you recall
               the  dream  you  can  still  experience the sound
               of  the  voice,  score  the  dream "2."  This score
               would be used for
Taste &
Smell (TS): If   neither   taste   nor  smell  appear  in  the
               dream,  score  the  dream  "0."  If  taste or smell
               do  appear,  but  you cannot actually experience
               the sensation  as you recollect the dream, score
               "1."  If  your  memory  of  the  dream is so vivid
               that  you  can  still  experience  the sensation of
               the   taste   or  the  smell  as  you  recollect  the
               dream, score the dream "2."
Palpable
Sensations (Ps):  Palpable   sensations  refer  to  a  wide
               variety   of   touch   and   body   sensations:  the
               texture   of   food   in   the  mouth,  a  pin  prick,
               hit,   pressure  on   the   body,   headache,  being
               physical  pain,  sexual stimulation,  vertigo,  and
               "kinesthetic"   sensations   associated  with  loss
               of   balance,   amusement   park   rides,   falling,
               spinning, etc.  Again,  if none of these appear in
               the  dream,  score  "0."  If  a  palpable  sensation
               appears  in  the  dream  ("I  was  knocked  on the
               head by a ball.")  but you cannot now experience
