“…In filling the gap, the study presented here was geared toward providing a panoramic overview of how specific sleep problems might have differential impacts on the phenomenological properties of dreaming. The Dream Intensity Scale and Dream Motif Scale, which are distinguished by their good psychometric properties, broad coverage of dream activities, and sensitivity to psychological parameters, including a wide range of psychopathological traits (Yu, 2008(Yu, , 2010(Yu, , 2012a(Yu, , 2012c(Yu, , 2013a(Yu, , 2013b(Yu, , 2014b(Yu, , 2014c, were utilized to assess dream experiences.…”

This study aims to provide a preliminary overview of how specific sleep problems might have differential impacts on the phenomenological properties of dreaming. The sample contained 186 upper secondary school students, whose subjective intensity of dream experiences, thematic dream content, and sleep disturbances were assessed using the Dream Intensity Scale, Dream Motif Scale, and Sleep Habits Questionnaire, respectively. The overall evidence suggests that most sleep problems, except sleep bruxism, sleepwalking, and snoring, can amplify various aspects of dreaming, with the effects of sleep paralysis being the most robust and extensive. Although both sleep onset insomnia and hypersomnia may increase the overall intensity of dreaming, the elevated dream intensity in sleep onset insomnia is primarily reflected by stronger dream distortion and paramnesia whereas that in hypersomnia is more contributed by vivid perceptual sensations during dreaming.

“…The classification system built upon the DMS has been employed to analyze dream content (Yu, 2015(Yu, , 2016c. The DMS scale scores have also been demonstrated to be correlated negatively with superego functions as operationalized by social desirability or repression defensiveness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (Yu, 2013b(Yu, , 2013c and positively with a variety of psychopathological factors, such as traumatization (Yu, 2014b), sleep problems (Yu, 2016a;Yu & Thompson, 2016), negative emotions ( Yu, 2013b( Yu, , 2013c, neuroticism or emotional stability (Yu, 2012(Yu, , 2013b(Yu, , 2013c(Yu, , 2014a(Yu, , 2014b, hysterical conversion and dissociation (Yu, 2011b(Yu, , 2014a(Yu, , 2014b, obsessivecompulsion (Yu, 2013a(Yu, , 2014a(Yu, , 2014b, and schizotypal tendency signified by magical ideation (2013a). A major drawback of the DMS is that for various reasons, respondents may not be able to read through 100 dream themes and rate their frequencies.…”

Dream Motif Scale – Short Form

The Dream Motif Scale is a retrospective measure devised for assessing 15 predispositions that modulate the formation of dream narratives. It requires respondents to rate their lifetime frequencies with which they have dreamed about 100 themes. The Dream Motif Scale can be utilized not only as a psychometric measure but also as a classification system for analyzing themes in dream reports. Moreover, the 15 predisposition scores have been shown to be associated with a wide range of personality and psychopathological factors. A major drawback of the Dream Motif Scale, however, is that it is relatively time-consuming for respondents to read through 100 dream themes and rate each of them. In this study, therefore, I developed two shorter versions of the Dream Motif Scale. The Dream Motif Scale-Short Form-15 consists of only 15 items measuring the Ego Ideal, Grandiosity, and Persecution predispositions. The Dream Motif Scale-Short Form-20 contains the same 15 items and 5 additional items for assessing the Appetite-Instinct predisposition. Both versions were demonstrated to have good psychometric properties. Nevertheless, because they were developed based on a previous sample (N = 1186), they should be tested on other samples in the future.

“…As Yu's (2012 evidence indicates, the Ego Ideal and Persecution scales are positively correlated with the NEO-Five Factor Inventory Neuroticism (Costa & McCrae, 1985), Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1990), and Beck Depression Inventory-II (Beck et al, 1996). Besides negative emotions, all three dream scales have also been demonstrated to vary positively with cheerful emotions and magical ideation and negatively with repressiveness and the NEO-Five Factor Inventory Agreeableness (Yu, 2013a(Yu, , 2013b(Yu, , 2013c. Some evidence (Hsu & Yu, 2016;Yu, 2015) suggests that Chinese people's dreams display less emotional and sexual materials.…”

This study investigated whether indigenous Chinese personality traits bear on dream content across Hong Kong and Taiwanese people. The sample contained 100 Hong Kong and 103 Taiwanese participants, who were asked to complete the Self Versus Social Orientation, Family Orientation, Harmony, and Thrift Versus Extravagance scales of the Chinese Personality Assessment Inventory and provide a dream narrative using the Most Recent Dream Report. Each dream report was coded separately by 2 trained judges using Hall and Van de Castle's content analysis system and Yu's Dream Motif Scale. The overall findings indicate that the 4 indigenous Chinese personality attributes have dynamic implications for dream content. Specifically, people who are more harmonious or more family-oriented encounter fewer ego-centered themes, persecutory themes, and aggressive activities in their dreams. In addition, the positive association between the attribute of thrift and dream grandiosity seems to be stronger among Hong Kong individuals than among Taiwanese individuals. This can be explained by the shared Chinese culture but discrete historical backgrounds of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
