Sharing dreams: sex and other sociodemographic variables
1Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim, Germany. Michael.Schredl@zi-mannheim.de
Abstract:
Dream sharing is a common experience for most people. Factors which might be related to dream sharing in a representative German sample were investigated in the present study. As expected, the frequency of positively toned and neutral dreams and the frequency of negatively toned dreams were related to dream sharing. In addition, an effect of sex was found: women shared their dreams more often than men. Dream sharing differing by social class and education might point to class-specific attitudes toward dreams which have not yet been studied in detail.
