ABSTRACT
A century ago, Frederic W.H. Myers wrote
I have long thought that we are too indolent in regard to our dreams; that we neglect precious occasions of experiment for want of a little resolute direction of the will. … We should constantly represent to ourselves what points we should like to notice and test in dreams; and then when going to sleep we should impress upon our minds that we are going to try an experiment; – that we are going to carry into our dreams enough of our waking self to tell us that they are dreams, and to prompt us to psychological inquiry. (1887, p. 241).
