Sensational Dreams: The Prevalence of Sensory Experiences in Dreaming

Brain Sciences May 24, 2024 A.C. van der Heijden, Jade Thevis, Jill Verhaegen et al. 8 citations

Vision is the most common sensory experience in dreams, followed by audition and touch, while olfaction and gustation are reported at equally low rates. Multisensory dreams are far more prevalent than unisensory ones. The prevalence of sensory dream experiences varies across emotionally positive and negative dreams. A positive relationship exists between sensory richness and both emotional intensity of dreams and clarity of dream recall, for both positive and negative dreams. These results underscore the variety of dream experiences and suggest a link between sensory richness, emotional content, and dream recall clarity.
