The unplanned occurrence of the instructor's presentation of his own dream at an institute dream seminar resulted in the candidates' dreaming dreams for the course. A study of these dreams reveals the atmosphere of psychoanalytic education with special emphasis on identifications, a rather widespread passive dependent trend, and opposing ambitiousness and rivalry. One manifest configuration of the dreams suggests an occupational specific. The dreams and associated data offer a contribution to the subject of 'normal' dreams and the concept of normality. The situation proved to be a highly effective teaching technique for a full understanding of dreams.
