~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

—————

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 !!

From the University of Sheffield web site for thesis length:

Word count

The University does not have any regulatory requirements governing the length of theses, but most faculties have established guidelines:

  • Arts and Humanities: 40,000 words (MPhil); 75,000 words (PhD)
  • Health: 40,000 words (MPhil); 75,000 words (PhD, MD)
  • Science: 40,000 words (MPhil); 80,000 words (PhD)
  • 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.

Dream Data 2026 Update.

Here is my dream frequency data updated.

–

–

The average number of recorded dreams rounds up to 13 per month over this period.

There looks to be a drop off post hip operation {21-11-25}. But February was back with a bang.

March ’26  looks to be heading back towards average dream number.

The overall rate is heading for ~ 140 per year consistent with the 2025 total  but this is by way of a big extrapolation this early on in the year.

So maybe the dreaming is not slowing after all…..
