  1. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE DREAMSby: Lauren Schone, Bong Sok, Carrie Myers, Lauren Hollinger

  2. INTRODUCTIONDREAM: a sequence of images, etc. passing through a sleeping person’s mind

  3. ~ dreams intrigue because they have a mystical and illusive quality~ but do certain factors cause specific dreams?

  4. SLEEPING~ essential part of human life~ one quarter of sleep time is spent dreaming, that’s seven and a half years!!!

  5. Sleep Stages

  6. DREAM THEORISTSFREUD and JUNG

  7. Freudian Function~ tool for wish-fufillment~ two occurrences during sleeping~ dreams as “guardians”

  8. Jungian Juxtaposition~ worked closely with Freud and his ideas~ believed in “spiritual” aspect of unconscious

  9. WHY DREAM?~ helps brain grow during young ages~ strengthens connections between certain areas of brains

  10. ~ sleep deprivation and dream deprivation one night will result in lots of REM sleep the next night~ this is why we believe that those who do not sleep well one night will have many dreams the next night

  11. MEN vs. WOMEN~women and men have different dream themes that relate to pleasantness, setting, sexuality, and stereotypical dreams

  12. STRESS~ we dream because the mind is still processing issues and concerns~ tension and unresolved struggles follow into sleep

  13. ~ people incorporate their stress into dreams~stress increases dream emotionality ~ more stress =more dreams (that means architect majors)

  14. EXPERIMENT~ based upon learned information we have chosen categories to examine in relation to dreams~ comparison of these categories will hopefully expose dream patterns

  15. ~ sex / gender~ stress~ number of hours slept~ number of dreams per night~ academic major~ residence hall~ dream theme

  16. RESULTS~male vs. female~dorm~major~Spearman Rank Test

  17. OTHER OBSERVATIONS~the number of hours slept did not appear to affect the number of dreams~the greatest number of dreams recorded in one night was five

  18. ~sleep rating and stress levels both ranged from one to ten~most stress appeared to be due to school, then friends, then family (which makes sense since we are in college)

  19. FACTORS THAT AFFECT RESULTS~the number of people surveyed~honesty of participants~limited dream type list

  20. HOW WOULD WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY?~survey more people and the same number of people in each category (sex, dorm, major)~expand list of dream types
