Dream recall frequency and psychosomatics.
Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis May 11, 2022 Diego Dal Sacco
About 80% of patients woken during REM sleep can recall their dreams, but young adults in clinical practice remember dreams only once or twice a week. The authors propose hypotheses explaining why people with psychosomatic disorders appear to recall dreams less often than healthy individuals, suggesting that factors such as personality, creativity, mental state, cognitive functions, and somatic symptoms influence dream recall.
