Project Title: Record of Dreams around 9-11-2001
Project Description: I'm seeking
help with my research from anyone who regularly records his or her dreams.
As most of you know, I have been studying for many years the dreams of
people who have experienced a serious trauma.
I believe that all of us experienced a serious trauma on September 11, 2001.
Therefore I would be most grateful for help from any of you who have been
keeping a dream log or regularly recording your dreams for some time, and who
would be willing to share some of them with me.
If this description fits you and you'd like to participate, what I would need
is a copy of your last ten dreams recorded before 9/11/01, and your first ten
dreams starting the evening of 9/11/01. I need the dreams exactly as they are
written. Do not select particular dreams, omit dreams, or alter dreams in any
way (except to omit or change people's names if you wish).
To anyone who can help me with this research, I would like to be helpful in
turn, in any way I can.
At the moment all I can think of is this: First of all I want to assure you
that your dreams will be treated with complete respect and confidentiality.
You will not only be helping me, but contributing to the field of dream
research and our increasing understanding of the nature and value of dreams. I
will be happy to discuss with you the progress and results of studies which
involve your dreams. Finally I'll be happy to send you a copy of my recent
book Dreams and Nightmares if you'd like one.
Contact Information:
If you can do the above, please send dreams to me, or get in touch
with me, at Ernest Hartmann M.D., 27 Clark St., Newton MA 02459, or EHDream@AOL.com
