To dream, perchance to draw
Thematic and content analysis of positively toned dreams
Targets of erotic dreams and their associations with waking couple and sexual life
Association between recurrent dreams, disturbing dreams, and suicidal ideation in adolescents
Disturbing dreams and recurrent dreams have both been linked to a wide range of psychological difficulties in children.There is growing evidence that the experience of frequent disturbing dreams is associated with suicidal ideation in adults but studies in young adolescents have been limited and the results inconsistent.In addition, the possible relationship between suicidal ideation and recurrent dreams has yet to be studied.We thus investigated…
The content of recurrent dreams in young adolescents
When people remember dreams they never experienced
The source-monitoring paradigm suggests that dreams could be an important source of naturally occurring false memories. However, the malleability of memories for dreams remains to be investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of suggestions on subsequent dream recall. Immediate dream recall collected in a sleep laboratory was compared with long-term recall 1 to 2 weeks later. Standard recall was also compared with hypnotic…
Dream recall frequency
NonREM sleep mentation in chronically-treated persons with schizophrenia
Recurrent dreams and psychosocial adjustment in preteenaged children
Research indicates that recurrent dreams in adults are associated with impoverished psychological well-being. Whether similar associations exist in children remains unknown. The authors hypothesized that children reporting recurrent dreams would show poorer psychosocial adjustment than children without recurrent dreams. One hundred sixty-eight 11-year-old children self-reported on their recurrent dreams and on measures of psychosocial adjustment.…
Making sense of dream experiences
There exists little research on dream-related beliefs and their role in peoples’ lives. Our aim was to develop a questionnaire (the Inventory of Dream Experiences & Attitudes [IDEA]) to assess dream-related beliefs and investigate their relations to waking-state variables. Seven hundred twenty-five participants completed the IDEA, and 357 participants also completed questionnaires on dreams, personality, and well-being and recorded their dreams f…

Evolutionary function of dreams
Is the threat simulation theory threatened by recurrent dreams
Increased Mastery Elements Associated With Imagery Rehearsal Treatment for Nightmares in Sexual Assault Survivors With PTSD
Exposure, abreaction, and mastery have been proposed as the therapeutic processes of nightmare (NM) reduction. Imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT) effectively reduces NMs but involves minimal exposure and abreaction. The authors investigated the use of mastery in the scripting of new dreams (NDs) elaborated during IRT. NM an dN D reports were collected from 44 female sexual assault survivors with chronic NMs during their initial application of IRT. M…
The Typical Dreams of Canadian University Students
To investigate the dimensional structure of dreams, the Typical Dreams Questionnaire (TDQ) was administered to 1181 first-year University students in three Canadian cities. A profile of themes was found that varied little by age, gender or region; however, differences that were identified could be interpreted as due to developmental milestones, personality attributes or sociocultural factors. Factor analysis produced a solution consisting of 16 c…
Topographical EEG mapping in a case of recurrent sleep terrors
Sleep terrors are characterized by marked CNS arousal and typically occur during stage 3-4 sleep within the first NREM cycle. Studies of the EEG during sleep terrors suggest that delta power and synchrony in the EEG may be important physiological markers of sleep terror presence and intensity. An EEG mapping study was undertaken with a single participant who experienced three sleep terror episodes in the laboratory. A one-minute section of EEG wa…
