ABSTRACT
The responses of my patients to various questions concerning the frequency and vivacity of their dreams (questions 7, 9, 10, & 11) fell into two distinct categories. The first category included patients who experienced a radical change in their relationship to their dreams, which closely resembled the syndrome that was described in our review of the previous literature under the heading of increased frequency and vivacity of dreaming (see Table 7.1). Most of the patients who fell into this category described these changes spontaneously as soon as the subject of dreaming was broached. Others among them were incapable of participating in a structured interview (for reasons that will soon become obvious), but nevertheless they clearly indicated in various ways that their dream-life had undergone a radical change of this kind.
