that  sensation  as  you  recall  the dream,  score
               "1."  If  you can still experience the sensation as
               you   recall   the   dream,   score  "2."    Palpable
               sensations  are  often  critical  in understanding
               certain   dream   images,   and   re-experiencing
               these  sensations  is  the  first step in being able
               to re-express their meaning consciously.
Reminder: Each  separate  dream  is  scored  on  each of
these eight vividness categories.

Questions and Answers
     Question:  What   if   I   have  a  dream  in  which  two
separate positive emotions occur,  one which  I  can still
experience as I recall the dream, and one which is only a
vague idea?  Do  I  score the dream twice,  with a "2" and
"1" for E+?
     Answer:  Score  the  dream  only  once.  Since  in  the
dream there  was  a  positive emotion which you can still
experience as you recall the dream,  score "2" on the E +
dimension.
     Question:  What   if   you   can't  decide  whether  the
emotion in the dream was positive or negative?
     Answer: Emotions  move  us,  or arouse us for action.
Look at the context of the dream.  What  is  the effect of
the emotion?  Is  it  a  feeling  which  you  would  like  to
terminate?  If  so,  treat  it  as  a negative emotion.  If the
emotion follows as a consequence of something you did,
would that emotion tend  to make you do that something
less frequently in the future?  If so,  treat the emotion as
negative.  If the emotion is mainly alerting,  is it alerting
you   to  something   you'll  have   to   cope   with,   or  to
something   you'll  look  forward   to  and  enjoy?   If  the
former,  treat  the  emotion  as negative.  Sometimes the
emotion has  a  dual aspect,  and  it  should  be  scored as
both positive  and  negative:  "The  danger  frightened me
and made me cautious,  but  it  also provided the thrill of
testing  my  courage  and  wits."  If  you  believe  that the
emotion  is  neither positive nor negative,  don't score it,
but make a comment about it on the tally sheet.
