All three of these stories of artistic inspiration from dreams along with many others are told in van de Castle’s Our Dreaming Mind, op. cit. Aside from its general value as a survey for the teacher of any cross-disciplinary course on dreams, it offers perhaps the most extensive collection of examples of “Dreams That Have Changed the 275 World,” as the author puts it, available in one book. Van de Castle points out that Coleridge’s story of the composition of “Kubla Khan” is reputed to be an instance of self-mythologizing. 6. Ruth Lingford interview. 7. Allucquere Rosanne Stone interview. A description of the “Dream/Delirium” course can be found at http://home.actlab.utexas.edu/dream.shtml. 8.

Foulkes, D. (1991). Why study dreaming: One researcher’s perspective. Dreaming, 1, 5, 247. 2. See Seligman, M, (1998), Learned optimism, 19. In Seligman’s view—and relevant to dreams—Freud asked the right questions but his method of generalizing from a few case studies was inadequate for answering them. 3. Excerpts from Yalom’s seminal texts Existential psychotherapy and The theory and practice of group psychotherapy, and selections from Love’s executioner, When Nietzsche wept, and Lying on the couch, can be found in a volume of his selected works, Yalom, I. (1998), The Yalom reader. New York: Basic Books. Included are essays on literature informing psychology, and psychology informing literature, which have implications for the dream narrative as a text and how we engage it. 4. See Part 3, “Dreams and Interpretation,” in Bulkeley, K. (1994), The wilderness of dreams (Albany: State University of New York Press), in which the author engages perplexing questions of how one might encounter the dream text in ways that will yield valid interpretations—(i.e., the dream’s meanings). 5. Note Domhoff, G. W. (1996), Finding meaning in dreams: A quantitative approach (New York: Plenum), 153–189. Among the persons whose dreams Domhoff compares with established norms are those of Freud and Jung themselves. Although in this study their individual dreams are aggregated and not interpreted, the overall amounts and patterns of dream elements reflect what is known about their biographies and personalities, and the differences in their views that make up an important chapter in the history of psychology, and of dream theory. 6. See Ullman, M, and Zimmerman, N. (1979), Working with dreams (London: Jeremy P. Tarcher) and Taylor, J. (1993), Where people fly and water runs uphill: Using dreams to tap the wisdom of the unconscious (Clayton, VIC, Australia: Warner Books). Both books set forth the view, now relatively commonplace but then novel, that...
