More Dream Data – Enough for a Thesis?

—————

Taking the dreams so far recorded for 2026.

There were 5213 words in March at an average of 521 words per dream.

There were 9627 words in February at an average of 642 words per dream.

Taken together the average is 594 words per dream.

Using that with the dream total of 137 dreams for 2025 that gives a word total ~ 81,000 words of dreams

This is a lot of dreaming, near thesis length for 2025 alone !!

  • Arts and Humanities: 40,000 words (MPhil); 75,000 words (PhD)
  • Health: 40,000 words (MPhil); 75,000 words (PhD, MD)

  • Social Sciences: 40,000 words (MPhil); 75,000-100,000 words (PhD)

The above word counts exclude footnotes, bibliography and appendices. Where there are no guidelines, students should consult the supervisor as to the length of thesis appropriate to the particular topic of research.
