involvement.  All  of  this  information  should  help  the
investigator make correlations between the dreamer and
the dreams,  and  the  dream  interpretations provided by
the readings.
      To aid in studying trends and cycles of dreams and to
provide a concise overview of dream content, a synopsis
is provided  for  the  dreams  of  each  individual.  In  this
synopsis,  each  dream is described in a few words and is
accompanied by  a brief summation of the interpretation
given  in  the  reading  by  Edgar  Cayce.  This  feature  is
especially  valuable  in  several of the case studies which
comprise many  dreams  presented over several years. In
these instances,  the  synopsis  gives  an  opportunity for
examination of the dreams paralleling the dreamer's life.
For  example,  there  is  a  case  study of a young woman
who had 82 dream readings,  beginning at the time of her
honeymoon  and continuing  through  the adjustments of
early  marriage,  attempts  at  pregnancy,   a  miscarriage,
her mother's death, childbirth, and later marital stress.
      Perhaps the most valuable aid to research provided is
the   Research   Reference   Index.   This  index  provides
access  to  most   of   the  topics  covered  in  the  dream
readings,  and   thus   allows   the  researcher  quickly  to
assemble  the pertinent material for study.  For example,
under such headings  as  "Dreams, defined"  or  "Dreams,
as  experiences,"   will   be   found   references  to  those
paragraphs  in  the  various  dream  readings  that contain
general  statements  about  the  nature  of  dreaming. The
material  referred  to  in  the  listings  under  the heading
"Mind" traces activities of  the conscious,  subconscious
and  superconscious  mind  during  the  dream  state. The
heading   "Business  Advice"   gives   a   listing  of   those
dreams  had  by  businessmen which  were interpreted as
giving    information    concerning    stocks,   investment
sources,   partnerships,   etc.   "Physical   information  in
dreams"  lists  those  dreams  which  were  interpreted as
giving specific information on matters of diet and health,
and is itemized according to the specific physical topics
concerned.  Various  emotions  reflected in dreams have
been  categorized   under   the  specific  type  of  feeling
