Abstract/Results: | ABSTRACT:
Thirty one participants (15 female, 16 male) slept in the sleep laboratory and were woken 10 minutes into REM and N2 sleep for
dream reports. Participants also gave a daydream report before falling asleep. All participants later discussed their dream and
daydream reports with two experimenters who had not been involved in the report collection. Each discussion took 30–40 min and followed the standard Ullman method of group dream discussion (Edwards et al., 2013, 2015, Front Psychol), which aims to identify and explore recent waking life sources for dream content. After each discussion participants completed the 14-item Gains from Dream Interpretation (GDI) questionnaire (Heaton et al., 1998, J Couns Psychol). The GDI exploration-insight subscale assesses discovery of recent waking life mnemonic sources of the dream and also personal insight about waking life that results from the dream discussion, and is adapted here to cover dream and daydream discussions. There were no exploration-insight differences between discussing REM and N2 dream reports, but, as hypothesised, discussing dreams did lead to significantly higher scores on exploration-insight than did discussing daydreams (means = 7.60 and 7.13 respectively, SDs = 0.88 and 0.99; P = 0.002). Dream discussions were scored significantly higher than daydream discussions on questionnaire items: ‘I learned things
that I would not have thought of on my own’ (P = 0.002); ‘I learned more about what this (day) dream meant for me personally during the session’ (P < 0.001); and, ‘I learned more about issues in my waking life from working with the (day) dream’ (P < 0.05).
