Dream reports are easier for large language models to predict than Wikipedia articles, as measured by lower perplexity scores, indicating that dream content is less 'surprising' to these models than general web text. The models also detected differences in dream reports based on gender, visual impairment, and clinical status, mirroring patterns found in prior research. This suggests that machine learning tools can effectively model dream narratives and may capture subtle group-level variations.
