Interesting article on the state of dream research in opposition to Freud. Lots of interesting stuff I didn't know. Also an interesting passage about how one of the leading men in the field had a stroke which prevented him from dreaming for an entire month, throughout which he hallucinated vividly.
Other researchers took a sociological approach to dreams, meticulously cataloging their content: women dream of men more than men dream of women; black people are more likely to be physically damaged in their dreams than white people; 80 percent of adult dreams have a negative component—their hair looks bad or they can’t find their keys or their kid won’t stop crying—and after ninth grade, children’s dreams become significantly more aggressive.
