The paper reports a failure to confirm previous studies finding a relationship between the A, R, and Es scales of the MMPI and dream recall. The study was carried out on two groups of college students (ns = 48, 55) and required Ss to produce written dream reports. The first group was given 6 wk. to report 2 dreams, the second 9 wk. to report 3 dreams. Ss who were able to report these dreams were compared with those who were not on the three MMPI scales. The results were nonsignificant.
