Are poets dreamers? Are there universal dreams we all share? Surely the subject of dreaming draws a near universal curiosity. Of course, I'm one for the Dreamstate.
The initial link goes to dream study site. I was initially drawn there seeking a Scientific American piece by CS Hall called "What People Dream About". Never found yet. But I'm still looking.

The dreamresearch.net Dream Library: Useful Articles on Dreams
This "library" contains published and unpublished papers in the research tradition established by psychologist Calvin S. Hall. They are meant for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and dream researchers, with the hope that the papers will be of use to them in formulating research projects or adopting a theoretical framework. The following paragraphs present a brief overview of the types of papers to be found here.
There are three "classic" papers by Hall (1947, 1953a, 1953b) that present his "thematic" method for studying a series of dreams, as well as his theoretical ideas about dreams and about "symbols" in dreams (i.e., they are really the same as waking metaphors).
