Most nocturnal dream reports of 4 young-adult subjects were of events reported to have been experienced from an own-eyes perspective. The alternative, see-oneself, perspective seems to be incompatible with full dream elaboration. This may help to explain the primitive form of dreaming in early development, when children are unable to imagine their own active participation in dream events.

Sixteen German‐English bilinguals were studied in a sleep laboratory for four nonconsecutive nights each. Half were native English speakers living in Zürich, and half native German speakers living in Atlanta. Presleep thought samples were solicited each evening and REM dream reports each night; subjects judged the waking appropriateness of their imagined speech and language phenomena, and also...

Eighty children, 10 boys and 10 girls at each of four ages (5, 6, 7, and 8), were awakened from REM sleep on 10 occasions over the course of three nights in a sleep laboratory to report dreams. They also completed a variety of cognitive skill tests. In confirmation of an earlier, longitudinal study (Foulkes, 1982): Dreams were reported relatively seldom (median report rate of 20%); until age 7,...

from REM awakenings are infrequent and, when present, qualitatively meager. We report here data from a cross-sectional project in which 10 boys and 10 girls were studied within a month of their birthdays at each of four ages, namely, 5, 6, 7, and 8 yr. Ten REM awakenings were scheduled for dream retrieval over three nonconsecutive nights, 10 mjn. following the initiation of REM periods...

Affect appropriateness was determined for representatively sampled (REM) dream reports. Seventeen young adults were studied for two nights each. The following data were collected: dream reports; accounts of feelings experienced while dreaming; judgements of feelings appropriate to the dreamed situations had they occurred in wakefulness; and ratings of the correspondence of dream and...

Ten college-educated young adults (four sighted, four congenitally blind, and two adventitiously blind) were studied in a sleep laboratory one night a week for 8 weeks. Dream reports were collected from electroencephalogram-defined sleep onset, rapid eye movement sleep, and non-rapid eye movement sleep, following a standard awakening schedule and interview format. Dream reports were analyzed in...

Our paper addresses, as did a recent study by Greenwood et al. (1977), the question of differential right vs. left hemispheric involvement in REM-sleep dreaming. A male subject with extensive lesioning of the right hemisphere and consequent contralateral homonymous hemianopia was studied for 2 nights in a sleep laboratory where a dream report was collected following each of 6 awakenings from...

ABSTRACTFive subjects had their nocturnal sleep monitored (EEG, EOG, submental EMG) for a total of 42 nights. A total of 196 awakenings to retrieve sleep mentation was distributed among three awakening categories: Non‐Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep before the EMG suppression heralding REM‐sleep onset; NREM sleep immediately following the EMG suppression heralding REM‐sleep onset; and early...

Dream content elicited following the selective deprivation of rapid-eye-movement sleep was intensified compared to that elicited under nondeprivation conditions. This effect was observed both for repressers and for sensitizers, but was significant only for repressers. On nondeprivation nights, the dream periods of sensitizers were shorter and their dreams more intense than those of repressers.

Three S s slept with their eyes taped open and their pupils chemically dilated while stages of sleep were monitored by EEG and eye movement recordings. Various objects were illuminated in front of S s' open eyes. Shortly following the stimulus presentations, S s were awakened and reports of dream experiences and other imagery during sleep were obtained. Although there were occasional instances...

Twenty-four S s were exposed to controlled presleep stimuli. On one experimental night, they saw a violent episode, on the other, a nonviolent episode, from a TV western series. Dreams were collected using Dement and Kleitman's electrophysiological methods, by means of which rapid eye movement (REM) periods were used to identify “dream” periods. REM reports following the violent episode were...
