The effects of dream length on the relationship between primaty process in dreams and a measure of creativity unconfounded by IQ was investigated in a sample of 93 graduate students using the Auld, Goldenberg, & Weiss (1968) Scale of Primary Process Thought (SPPT) and a modified Wallach-Kogan (1965) creativity batte/yo Consistent with previous research, total and mean primary process were found to correlate significantly with creativity (r = .28, P < .01 and r = .23, P < .05, respectively). Both significant relationships disappeared, however, once the effects of dream length were partialled out, confirming Wood, Sebba, & Domino's (1989-90) contention that this relationship may be artifactual. It is suggested that dream length as an individual difference in and of itself may thus be a more fruitful variable to examine in future research investigating the relationship between creativity and dreams.

The relationship between attitudes towards dreams and creativity, (ideational fluency) was investigated in ninety-six subjects utilizing Domino's Questionnaire About Dreams (QAD) and a modified Wallach-Kogan battery. Although item analyses failed to replicate earlier findings regarding the discriminative utility of the QAD with regards to creativity, a subsequent factor analysis revealed two dominant factors accounting for 52 percent of the variance. These factors correspond roughly to educated versus mystical beliefs regarding dream origin. Mystical dream origin correlated negatively with one measure of ideational fluency. Results are discussed with regard to the future utility of the QAD in identifying creative individuals, and in clarifying the relationship between dreams and both creativity and psychopathology.

To assess the level of concordance between two published measures of dream bizarreness, 100 randomly selected dreams from 93 college students were scored for primary process using the Auld, Goldenberg, and Weiss scale and for dream distortion using Zepelin's scale. This analysis yielded a strong relationship between these measures, indicating adequate concurrent validity for the content analysis of the construct of dream bizarreness.

Replication of Livingston and Levin's (1] factor analysis of Domino's [2]Questionnaire About Dreams was attempted utilizing a population of 106 graduate students screened for adequate dream recall. Results indicated that the questionnaire produced two dominant factors roughly corresponding to educated and mystical beliefs regarding dream origin. Although the items which comprised these factors were exactly those previously reported by Livingston and Levin, the percentage of variance accounted for was considerably smaller than that found in the earlier study. Furthermore, neither factor correlated significantly with creativity measures derived from a modified Wallach-Kogan [3] battery, nor with Rotter's [4) locus of control inventory. Consistent with previous research, item analysis of the QAD again failed to discriminate creative from non-creative individuals. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that the QAD may not be a valid research instrument.There are numerous references in both the anecdotal and empirical psychological literature suggesting both a direct and analogical (symbolic) relationship between dreams and creativity [1,2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Some examples of creative productions derived directly from dreams include Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde [2], some of the famous musical compositions of *This research was completed in partial fulfillment of the first author's requirement's for the doctoral degree in clinical psychology at Yeshiva University. 263
