TI - Continuity Between Waking Life and Dreaming: A Research Note and Study in Adolescents AV - public Y1 - 2024/09// SP - 104 EP - 116 UR - https://doi.org/10.1177/02762366241254818 N2 - A vast number of empirical findings support the continuity hypothesis of dreaming. Interestingly, research on that topic in adolescents is scarce. In a sample of 100 adolescents (50 female, 50 male) with a mean age 15.30 ± 0.80 years, it was found that for all six topics (watching TV, video gaming, social media use, engage in hobbies, caring for pets, and spending time with the partner), dream percentages of a specific topic was higher if the adolescents spent more time with this activity in waking life. Partner dreams and social media dreams were more frequent compared to adults, stressing the importance these issues have for adolescents. Future research can help to understand the well-being of adolescents by analyzing the emotional quality and content of their dreams. A1 - Schredl, Michael ER -
