Abstract
Dream reports are examined as a function of the real world and dream contents to which they correspond. It is noted that the said correspondence is not a sufficient determinant of the verbal realizations of the dream reports. An account of such reports calls for additional rules which order pragmatic constraints. These rules bear on a conversational-based analysis of presupposition and suggest that the semantics of natural language is not exhausted by a Tarskian theory of truth.
