The lifestyle hypothesis of dream recall emphasizes psychological factors in explaining interindividual differences in dream recall frequency. Recent findings suggest that neurophysiological traits such as default mode network connectivity might also help to explain differences in dream recall. A sample of 1,807 participants (1,008 women, 799 men) with a mean age of 47.75 6 14.41 years completed an online survey including the Highly Sensitivity Person Scale, the Big Five personality questionnaire, and a dream recall frequency scale. The finding of a relationship between aesthetic sensitivity (a subfactor of sensory processing sensitivity) and dream recall frequency supports the hypothesis that neurophysiological traits might also be important in explaining interindividual differences in dream recall. Large-scale studies using, for example, brain imagining techniques will be necessary to link interindividual differences in information processing to differences in dream recall frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
