State-dependent thinking: a comparison of waking and dreaming thought.

Consciousness and Cognition December 15, 2004 David Kahn, J Allan Hobson

Thinking is known to be state dependent but a systematic study of how thinking in dreams differs from thinking while awake has not been done. The study consisted of analyzing the dream reports of 26 subjects who, in addition to providing dream reports also provided answers to questions about their thinking within the dream. Our hypothesis was that thinking in dreams is not monolithic but has...

Dreaming During Non-rapid Eye Movement Sleep in the Absence of Prior Rapid Eye Movement Sleep

Sleep December 1, 2004 Hiroyuki Suzuki, Makoto Uchiyama, Hirokuni Tagaya et al. 73 citations

STUDY OBJECTIVES: There is a long-standing controversy surrounding the existence of dream experiences during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Previous studies have not answered the question whether this "NREM dream" originates from the NREM sleep mechanism because the subject might simply be recalling experiences from the preceding rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. METHODS: We scheduled 11...

Increased Mastery Elements Associated With Imagery Rehearsal Treatment for Nightmares in Sexual Assault Survivors With PTSD.

Dreaming December 1, 2004 Anne Germain, Barry Krakow, Brigitte Faucher et al. 78 citations

Exposure, abreaction, and mastery have been proposed as the therapeutic processes of nightmare (NM) reduction. Imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT) effectively reduces NMs but involves minimal exposure and abreaction. The authors investigated the use of mastery in the scripting of new dreams (NDs) elaborated during IRT. NM an dN D reports were collected from 44 female sexual assault survivors with...

Incorporation of presleep stimuli into dream contents: evidence for a consolidation effect on declarative knowledge during REM sleep?

Journal of Sleep Research December 1, 2004 Carlo Cipolli, Igino Fagioli, Michela Mazzetti et al.

Presleep stimuli to be retained for further recall is often incorporated into dream contents. To establish whether processing for insertion into dream contents may improve consolidation, we compared the retention rate at delayed recall of contents resulting from incorporation of presleep sentence-stimuli with those of other contents of the same dream experiences. We hypothesized that...

Multimodal behavioral treatment of nonrepetitive, treatment-resistant nightmares: a case report.

Perceptual and Motor Skills December 1, 2004 Barry A Tanner

A 23-yr.-old young woman presenting with a 17-yr. history of nightmares was treated with a variety of behavioral and self-regulatory techniques. The nightmares were unusual in that they did not have an obviously common theme as in most published reports, and, therefore, did not readily lend themselves to several frequently used techniques. Although previous treatment episodes had not affected...

Dreaming, believing, and remembering.

American Psychological Association eBooks October 27, 2004 Giuliana Mazzoni, Elizabeth F. Loftus 15 citations

Presents the findings of several years of empirical research involving the use of dreams in therapy and explores the extent to which the authors could use dream material, or even dream interpretation, to influence Ss' recollections of the past. Initial studies investigated whether a gentle suggestion could get people to believe falsely that items that came from their dream reports were words...

Poor recall of eye-movement signals from Stage 2 compared to REM sleep: implications for models of dreaming.

Consciousness and Cognition September 2004 Russell Conduit, Sheila Gillard Crewther, Grahame Coleman

An ongoing assumption made by sleep researchers is that since dreams are more often recalled on awakening from rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, dreams must occur more often during this stage of sleep. An alternative hypothesis is that cognition occurs throughout sleep, but the recall of this mentation differs on awakening. When a dream is not reported on awakening, there is no method of...

Spontaneous eyelid movements (ELMS) during sleep are related to dream recall on awakening.

Journal of Sleep Research June 1, 2004 Russell Conduit, Sheila Gillard Crewther, Grahame Coleman

The present study aimed to test whether spontaneous eyelid movements (ELMs) during stage 2 and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are related to more frequent and vivid reports of visual mentation on awakening. Participants were awakened 15 s after an ELM was observed during ongoing REM and stage 2 sleep and immediately asked for a mentation report and to rate the visual vividness of any imagery...

Reliability and Stability of a Dream Recall Frequency Scale

Perceptual and Motor Skills June 1, 2004 Michael Schredl

Dream recall frequency varies widely between people as well as within individuals. To explore the relationship between dream recall frequency and trait variables such as personality dimensions, a measure of stable interindividual differences is necessary. In the present study ( N = 198 patients with sleep disorders; 115 women, 83 men; M age = 45.8 ± 15.3 yr.) a high retest reliability of the...
