This study compared dreams and early recollections of nine University of Arizona graduate students. The students first provided the researcher with three dreams and six early recollections. Three Adlerian experts analyzed the dreams and completed a worksheet detailing each subject's apperception of life. Three additional Adlerian experts analyzed the early recollections of the students and completed an identical worksheet. A third panel of Adlerian trained counselors compared the dream and early recollection worksheets, making a determination whether the worksheets were "Alike", "Similar", or "Different". Consistent with Adlerian theory, this study found that early recollections demonstrate more about a person's expectations, view of self, men and women, than do dreams. In contrast with early recollections, dreams express a person's more immediate concerns. While there does exist some overlap between dream analysis and early recollection analysis, both of these projective techniques provide useful information that the other does not.
