We have 187 dreams from the "Engine Man." We split them in half, then into three groups of 62, then into four groups of 43. The table below compares the scores of these subsets with the total sample. For content categories with high frequencies (e.g., male/female percent), there is some consistency even with sets of only 46 dreams.
