    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.
    • Dream analysis offers insights into neurological conditions.
    • Understanding subjective experiences in epilepsy is crucial for early detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate dream peculiarities in children and adolescents with epilepsy.
    • To identify potential early markers of cerebral epileptization through dream analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of dream content between 24 epileptic patients (10-18 years) and 10 healthy controls.
    • Qualitative assessment of dream characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Epileptic patients reported intensified and quantitatively different dreams compared to controls.
    • Specific features included frightening themes, stereotypy, vivid colors, psychosensory disturbances, and unique topics.
    • These dream patterns were observed even before overt clinical epilepsy manifestations.

    Conclusions:

    • Dream analysis reveals distinct patterns in epileptic individuals.
    • These unique dream features may serve as early indicators of developing epilepsy.
    • Further research into dream markers could aid in early diagnosis and intervention.
