Abstract

Examination of recalled dream type (bad dreams, nondisturbed dreams, no dreams) demonstrated that bad dreams were associated with negative waking emotion. No dream recall was associated with increased positive and decreased negative waking emotion. Nondisturbed dreams had no relation to waking emotion. These relations were independent of reported sleep quality.
