DREAM DICTIONARY COMPARISON — SOURCE, CLAIM AND EVIDENCE
Original reading aid, not a validated score, diagnosis or prediction.

MY REMEMBERED SCENE — optional brief context, before dictionary reading
Image and action actually remembered:
Uncertain or missing details:
Dream feeling / waking feeling, separately:
Do not fill missing memories from a dictionary entry.

SOURCE A — repeat these fields separately for SOURCE B
Page or book title / URL / edition / publication date:
Author, editor and translator if identified:
Exact entry, page/chapter and short wording to compare:
Is this a quotation, paraphrase, translation or new editorial suggestion?
Named tradition or theory:
Original text or specific supporting source actually available:
What I have read directly:
What is only reported by a later source:
What remains unknown about the attribution:

CLASSIFY EACH CLAIM WITHOUT A SCORE
Historical interpretation / personal association / research finding /
future prediction / diagnosis or claim about another person / unclear:
Does it describe a possibility, association, cause or certain outcome?
What remembered action, person, setting or emotion does it assume?
Does that detail appear in my original note, or was it supplied later?

EVIDENCE COLUMN — keep distinct from the interpretation
Evidence actually cited:
For research: sample, measures, design and result relevant to this claim:
What the source does not establish:
For historical texts: edition, passage, translator and context if checked:
For my associations: 'reminds me of', not 'proves':
Repeated website wording: independent support or origin still unknown?

COMPARE A AND B
Same remembered image and action, or different scenes:
Same type of claim, or different questions:
Same cultural/theoretical framework, or different frameworks:
Actual disagreement in words:
Translation or editing question still needing the original text:
Can either claim be accepted at the level its evidence supports?
Unresolved or unsupported conclusion to leave open:

ONE USEFUL FINISH
Optional personal association, labelled as mine:
Real waking-life fact or symptom needing attention, if any:
Practical action based on that fact rather than a symbol prediction:
Or: no action and no interpretation needed.
Avoid repeated searches solely to obtain a reassuring verdict.
Do not infer illness, fate, someone else's intentions or future events.
Shorten or stop analysis if upsetting; seek appropriate support for actual
sleep problems or daytime distress instead of waiting for a symbol answer.
