Blum, Richard H."When dreams are used to control supernatural powers, then: [high or excessive use of alcohol occurs; tobacco is limited or scarce; and there is high or excessive use of stimulants rather than moderate or no use]" (167)
D'Andrade, Roy G."The further a son moves away from his parents at marriage, the more likely a society is to use dreams to seek and control supernatural powers" (322).
D'Andrade, Roy G."Hunting and fishing societies will be likely to use dreams to seek and control supernatural powers, while societies with both agriculture and animal husbandry will be less likely to use dreams in this fashion. Societies with either agriculture or animal husbandry, but not both, should fall between these two extremes" (325).
Bourguignon, Erika"We expected to find that societies with institutionalized forms of Trance were more likely to be those coded by D'Andrade as having the use of dreams to seek and control supernatural powers than those that do not have institutionalized forms of Trance" (418)
