Three judges attempted to sort randomly selected dreams of normal college students and schizophrenic patients according to dreamer, night of occurrence, and sequential order within a night. Sorting was successful at statistically significant levels (which differed for the two groups) for all but the third task. The authors conclude that dreams are, as depth psychologists have assumed, orderly nonrandom events and that they reflect day-to-day changes in the life of an individual. They note that further work is needed to determine whether there is order among dreams of a given night.
三名评委试图根据做梦者、发生的夜晚以及一晚内的顺序，对随机挑选的正常大学生和精神分裂症患者的梦境进行分类。除了第三项任务外，其他所有任务的分类在统计学显著水平上都取得了成功（两组的显著水平有所不同）。作者得出结论，正如深度心理学家所假设的那样，梦境是有序的非随机事件，它们反映了个体生活中的日常变化。他们指出，需要进一步的研究来确定特定夜晚的梦境之间是否存在顺序。
