Abstract
There is ongoing debate on whether the full moon is associated with sleep and dreaming. The analysis of diaries kept by the participants ( N = 196) over 28 to 111 nights showed no association of a full moon and dream recall. Psychological factors might explain why some persons associate a full moon with increased dream recall.
