Daydreaming styles and nocturnal dreaming: further observations

This investigation examines the relationship between patterns of daydream activity and nocturnal dreams. When persons of differing but relatively pure daydream styles are compared as to nocturnal dream characteristics, the stylistic consistencies observed in waking fantasy appear also in dream productions, particularly affective polarity and bizarreness. Dreams and daydream appear to be highly interrelated aspects of the fantasy process, sharing important affective and structural components.
