In a five year study of dreams, Corriere and his co-workers found it is possible to shift from a symbolic state of drea,omg to a directly expressive mode of dreaming which reflected the influence of anthropology studies of the Senoi.
Additionally, Corriere and his colleagues found parallels in the behaviors used by a subject while dreaming and awake. In contrast to Freud’s analytic theory, which interprets dreams as coded symbolic messages, the new theory of dream focuses on the dreamer learning from his or her own dreams. Journal Citation
Corriere’s ideas are defined in his three books on dreams: The Dream Makers, Dreaming and Waking, and The Functional Analysis of Dreams.
