Doctor Kiss says yes
Doctor Kiss is quite prepared to say yes when she finds a letter asking her to come to the aid of a young knight who has been injured in battle. She waits until after her usual goodnight kisses and hugs from her parents, and then she takes her medical bag and climbs through her bedroom window into a gilded, magical world from the age of chivalry.

Dreams that matter
Dreams that Matter explores the social and material life of dreams in contemporary Cairo. Amira Mittermaier guides the reader through landscapes of the imagination that feature Muslim dream interpreters who draw on Freud, reformists who dismiss all forms of divination as superstition, a Sufi devotional group that keeps a diary of dreams related to its shaykh, and ordinary believers who speak of moving encounters with the Prophet Muhammad. In close dialogue with her Egyptian interlocutors, Islamic textual traditions, and Western theorists, Mittermaier teases out the dream's ethical, political, and religious implications. Her book is a provocative examination of how present-day Muslims encounter and engage the Divine that offers a different perspective on the Islamic Revival. Dreams That Matter opens up new spaces for an anthropology of the imagination, inviting us to rethink both the imagined and the real.

Children's Dreams
In the 1930s C. G. Jung embarked upon a bold investigation into childhood dreams as remembered by adults to better understand their significance to the lives of the dreamers. Jung presented his findings in a four-year seminar series at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.Children's Dreamsmarks their first publication in English, and fills a critical gap in Jung's collected works.
Here we witness Jung the clinician more vividly than ever before--and he is witty, impatient, sometimes authoritarian, always wise and intellectually daring, but also a teacher who, though brilliant, could be vulnerable, uncertain, and humbled by life's great mysteries. These seminars represent the most penetrating account of Jung's insights into children's dreams and the psychology of childhood. At the same time they offer the best example of group supervision by Jung, presenting his most detailed and thorough exposition of Jungian dream analysis and providing a picture of how he taught others to interpret dreams. Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned by the Philemon Foundation, these seminars reveal Jung as an impassioned educator in dialogue with his students and developing the practice of analytical psychology.
An invaluable document of perhaps the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this splendid volume is the fullest representation of Jung's views on the interpretation of children's dreams, and signals a new wave in the publication of Jung's collected works as well as a renaissance in contemporary Jung studies.

0133 Adapting and validating a modern situational measure for dream content and experience
Introduction Dream content is typically measured using self-reports which draw heavily on psychoanalytic theory. There is a need for a modern, reliable, validated, and comprehensive measure of dream content and experience. The DIAMONDS taxonomy has been developed and extensively validated by social/personality psychologists to assess psychologically salient features of waking situations. According to the continuity hypothesis, dreams reflect waking life; thus, this measure may also provide valuable information for dream content. We are adapting and validating this measure for dream content using self-reports and external raters. Methods We have begun an extensive construct validation process to adapt the DIAMONDS for dreams, including an extensive literature search and the development of a large item pool. Then, in a first preliminary study (N = 55), we examined the substantive validity by having an external rater code participants’ dream narratives using the adapted DIAMONDS. Next, in a second preliminary study from an online sample (N = 74), participants self-rated their own dream narratives using the adapted DIAMONDS. Results We developed a preliminary item pool (41 items) covering five proposed dream-specific factors: dream continuity, plausibility, clarity, memory degradation, and physiology. These items were added to the existing DIAMONDS. Results of the first preliminary study suggest all original DIAMONDS items have appropriate distributional properties when used to assess dream content; 20 of the newly developed items had abnormal skew and/or kurtosis. Items were modified; results of the second study show an improvement in the distributional properties of the adapted items. Notably, participants in the second study did not report an element of their dreams as being missing from the adapted DIAMONDS measure. Conclusion Thus far, we have gathered preliminary substantive validity evidence for the adapted DIAMONDS for dream content. Moving forward, we will evaluate whether the adapted measure predicts next day affect in a larger sample (predictive validity). In the long term, we hope to gather enough substantive, structural, and external validity evidence to validate the adapted DIAMONDS for dream content and experience. Support (if any) P30 GM114748
