Dreams that are to be analyzed should be writ­ten down as soon as they occur. They should be scribbled hastily, so that all fleeting elements can be anchored to the consciousness.

Split the dream up into its elemental parts and try to analyze it sometime during the day immediately following the night of the dream. By this immediate effort at analysis it is easier to identify the experi­ence of the preceding day which stimulated the dream, and an identification of the stimulating agent will aid considerably in the analytic efforts.

Enter the scribbled dream-notes into a dream-book for permanent record. In making this transfer, copy the original record word for word; do not amplify or modify anything.

When convenient, make a new record of the dream, in which you may amplify, qualify, or otherwise modi­fy as much as you feel disposed to; but make this sec­ondary record wholly from memory; do no copying whatever.

Split up the secondary record of the dream, and then proceed to analyze the modified, amplified, or otherwise changed elements in the usual manner. Treat such elements in the secondary record just as if they were original and "un-touched-up."
