The method can be easily applied but several pitfalls must be avoided in order to get valid results. The present article outlines how to construct new scales and the problems related to reliability and validity of content analytic scales. In addition, statistical issues prominent in the analysis of dream content data are addressed. Despite the various efforts and published findings in dream research, the systematic study of the advantages and problems of the dream content analysis method is still at the beginning. date: 2010 date_type: published id_scheme: ojs official_url: https://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/IJoDR/article/view/474 ppn_swb: 1402557612 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-105321 language: eng bibsort: SCHREDLMICDREAMCONTE2010 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Dream Research citation: Schredl, Michael (2010) Dream content analysis: Basic principles.
