The dreams of the mentally ill, using these methods, could also be studied if the affliction, of course, was not too severe. The dreams of children could be investigated in this manner without too much difficulty, and these could be compared, generally speaking, with the dreams of adults. Many differences between the two would be noted.

Children dream more vividly and more often. They return more frequently however to periods of near wakefulness, in order to check their physical environment, since they are not as sure of it as adults are. In deep periods of sleep children range further away, as far as their dream activities are concerned.

The ego, not yet fully formed, allows them more freedom. For this reason also they have more telepathic and clairvoyant dreams than do adults. They also have more psychic energy, practically speaking. That is, they are able to draw upon energy more easily. Because of the intenseness of their waking existence, the chemical excesses build up at a faster rate. Therefore children actually have more of this chemical propellant to use in the formation of dreams.
