The fund could be adversely affected if the computer systems used by The Dreyfus
Corporation and the fund's other service providers do not properly process and
calculate date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. The Dreyfus
Corporation is working to avoid Year 2000-related problems in its systems and to
obtain assurances from other service providers that they are taking similar
steps. In addition, issuers of securities in which the fund invests may be
adversely affected by Year 2000-related problems. This could have an impact on
the value of the fund's investments and its share price.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Stock Index Fund,
covering the six-month period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. Inside
you' ll find valuable information about how the fund was managed during the
period, including a discussion with the fund's portfolio managers, Steven Falci
and Jocelin Reed.
The past six months have been rewarding for most equity investors. Strong
economic growth, low inflation and high levels of consumer spending supported
continued strength in the stocks of many large companies. Several major market
indices set new records, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average's first-ever
close above the 10,000 level. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index and the technology-laden NASDAQ Index also recorded new highs.
Beginning in April, many previously out-of-favor market sectors rallied
strongly, including value-oriented stocks. At the same time, large-cap growth
stocks appear to have paused in their advance. This has helped narrow the
valuation gap that had developed over the past several years between the growth
and value sectors of the large-cap stock market.
We appreciate your confidence over the past six months, and we look forward to
your continued participation in Dreyfus Stock Index Fund.
Sincerely,
Stephen E. Canter
President and Chief Investment Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Steven Falci and Jocelin Reed, Portfolio Managers
How did Dreyfus Stock Index Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund produced
a total return of 12.14%.(1) The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index (S& P 500) , produced a 12.38% return for the same time period.(2) The
difference in returns is accounted for by transaction costs and other fund
operating expenses.
What is the fund's investment approach?
As an index fund, we seek to match the total return of the S&P 500. To reach
that goal, the portfolio generally invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 in
proportion to their weighting in the S&P 500. Often considered a barometer for
the stock market in general, the S&P 500 is made up of 500 widely held common
stocks. It is dominated by large blue chip stocks, which, when combined, cover
nearly 75% of the total U.S. market capitalization.
However, it is important to note that the S&P 500 is not composed of the 500
largest companies; rather, it is designed to capture the returns of many
different sectors of the U.S. economy. Generally speaking, it is composed of 400
industrial, 40 utility, 40 financial and 20 transportation stocks. Each stock is
weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater
representation in the S& P 500 than smaller ones. The fund may also use stock
index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.
Dreyfus Stock Index Fund uses a passive management approach: all investment
decisions are made based on the fund's objective, which is to seek to match the
performance of the S& P 500. The fund does not attempt to manage market
volatility.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
What other factors influenced the fund's performance?
During the first three months of the period, the S&P 500 was driven primarily by
a trend that had existed for some time, that is, by a very narrow list of highly
priced growth stocks. In fact, during that time period, the portfolio, mirroring
the S& P 500, benefited most notably from two holdings. The first is Microsoft,
the largest holding of the S&P 500 (and, accordingly, the largest holding of the
portfolio) as of June 30, 1999. The second is America Online, a stock that was
added to the S&P 500 in December 1998. In fact, these two stocks performed so
well that they are credited with producing a full third of the S&P 500's advance
in the first quarter of 1999.
However, mid-period, market sentiment shifted away from growth stocks and more
toward the value-oriented stocks that had previously been out of favor. In terms
of the strongest performing groups within the S&P 500 during the six-month
period, the largest gains came from the retail group, which includes footwear
and specialty apparel companies, and the financial area, including investment
banking and brokerage firms. In response to the stock market' s newly
rediscovered preference for traditional value-oriented stocks, including those
within the energy and basic materials sectors, the S&P 500's oil and gas
drilling and equipment holdings provided strong returns, as did many of its
metals, aluminum and specialty chemical stocks.
On the other hand, the poorest performing returns of the S&P 500, and therefore
of the portfolio as well, were generated from its food and health distributing
companies and housing manufacturers. In addition, its tobacco holdings provided
disappointing returns, primarily due to ongoing litigation problems.
<PAGE 4>
What is the fund's current strategy?
Because the fund is an index portfolio, its goal is to replicate the returns of
the S& P 500. To understand how index investing works, it's important to
recognize the differences associated with a passive index manager and an active
manager. The active manager typically makes decisions about buying and selling
stocks based on economic, financial and market conditions. The passive index
manager, on the other hand, buys and holds the stocks in the index in an effort
to match its returns.
A key advantage of indexing stocks is the lower costs incurred for professional
research. Because the portfolio's security selection is based strictly on the S&
P 500, the portfolio is able to avoid costly proprietary research.

(1) TOTAL RETURN INCLUDES REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND ANY CAPITAL GAINS PAID.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. SHARE PRICE AND INVESTMENT
RETURN FLUCTUATE SUCH THAT UPON REDEMPTION, FUND SHARES MAY BE WORTH MORE OR
LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DOES NOT REFLECT THE
DEDUCTION OF ADDITIONAL CHARGES AND EXPENSES IMPOSED IN CONNECTION WITH
INVESTING IN VARIABLE INSURANCE CONTRACTS, WHICH WILL REDUCE RETURNS.
(2) SOURCE: LIPPER ANALYTICAL SERVICES, INC. -- REFLECTS THE REINVESTMENT OF
INCOME DIVIDENDS AND, WHERE APPLICABLE, CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE STANDARD

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1--Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Stock Index Fund (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a non-diversified open-end management
investment company, that is intended to be a funding vehicle for variable
annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by the
separate accounts of life insurance companies. The fund's investment objective
is to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield
performance of publicly traded common stocks as represented by the Standard and
Poor' s 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus")
serves as the fund's manager and Mellon Equity Associates ("Mellon Equity"), an
affiliate of Dreyfus, serves as the fund's index manager. Dreyfus is a direct
subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. is the
distributor of the fund's shares, which are sold without a sales charge.
The fund' s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management estimates
and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities (including financial futures)
are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such
securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national
securities market. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national
securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are
valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. Bid price is
used when no asked price is available. Securities for which there are no such
valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the
direction of the Board of Directors.
(B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest
<PAGE 26>
income, including, where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is
recognized on the accrual basis.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a quarterly basis.
Dividends from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid
annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply
with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code" ). To the extent that net realized capital gain can be
offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to
distribute such gain.
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as
a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests
of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code,
and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from
substantially all Federal income and excise taxes.
NOTE 2--Bank Line of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $600 million
redemption credit facility (the "Facility" ) to be utilized for temporary or
emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection
therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of
the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund at rates based on prevailing
market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended June
30, 1999, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.
NOTE 3--Management Fee, Index-Management Fee and Other Transactions With
Affiliates:
(A) Pursuant to a Management Agreement with Dreyfus, the Management fee is
computed at the annual rate of .245 of 1% of the value of the fund's average
daily net assets, and is payable monthly. The Fund
<PAGE 27>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (CONTINUED)
Dreyfus has agreed to pay Mellon Equity, a monthly index-management fee at the
annual rate of .095 of 1% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets.
Dreyfus has undertaken from January 1, 1999 until such a time as they give
shareholders at least 180 days notice to the contrary that if any full fiscal
year the fund' s aggregate expenses, exclusive of brokerage commissions,
transaction fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of .40 of 1%
of the fund's average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payments to
be made to Dreyfus, or Dreyfus will bear, such excess expense. During the
period ended June 30, 1999, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the
undertaking.
(B) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses Dreyfus Service
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, an amount not to exceed an
annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets for
certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing and/or maintaining
shareholder accounts. During the period ended June 30, 1999, the fund was
charged $2,380 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and
facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period
ended June 30, 1999, the fund was charged $310 pursuant to the transfer agency
agreement.
(C) Each director who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of $500 per
meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.
NOTE 4--Securities Transactions:
(A) The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended
June 30, 1999, amounted to $652,051,343 and $50,767,617, respectively.
<PAGE 28>
The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to
or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as
a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments.
Investments in financial futures require the fund to "mark to market" on a daily
basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at the
close of each day's trading. Typically, variation margin payments are received
or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are
closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. These investments require
initial margin deposits with a custodian, which consist of cash or cash
equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract amount. The amount of
these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the
contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open at June 30, 1999 are
set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
(B) At June 30, 1999, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments and
financial futures was $1,416,854,511, consisting of $1,466,258,527 gross
unrealized appreciation and $49,404,016 gross unrealized depreciation.
At June 30, 1999, the cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes was
substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the
Statement of Investments).
