“…Questionnaires were not only utilized for measuring dream recall frequency but various aspects of dream content (e.g., Domino, 1982; Gruber, 1988; Bernstein & Roberts, 1995; Kahlmeyer & Chang, 1997; Kroth et al, 1999; Zadra & Nielsen, 1999; Agargün et al, 1999; Bruni et al, 1999). First, the questionnaire approach is simple and easily applicable to a large sample and, second, Bernstein, Belicki and Gonzales (1995) argued that questionnaire items are more valid measures for trait aspects of dream life than content analysis of diary dreams or dreams obtained from laboratory awakenings.…”

Dream questionnaires are widely used in dream research to measure dream recallfrequency and various aspects of dream life, The present study has investigated the intercorrelation between questionnaire and diary measures, 285 participants completed a dream questionnaire and kept a dream diary over a two-week period. Results indicate that keeping a dream diary increased dream recall in low and medium dream recallers but decreased dream recall in high dream readlers. The correlation coefficients between questionnaire items measuring aspects of dream content and diary data were large, except for a more complex scale (realism/bizarreness). III the low recall group, however, considerably lower coefficients were found indicating that recall and sampling processes affect the response to global items measuring dream content. Using the example of testing gender dUferences, the findings of the present study clearly indicate that the measurement technique affects the results. Whereas sufficient internal consistency and retest reliability have been demonstrated for various dream questionnaires, future research should focus on the aspects qf validity by comparing questionnaire data to dream content analysis (~fat least 20 dreams per person.

“…Similarly, those with higher social support and some emotional outlet for their grief reported they had more meaningful dreams, more color in their dreams, and a higher incidence of water in their dreams. Such reports of water and color in dreams (Kroth, Gillbert, Guichard, & Quatman, 1999) have been correlated with an index of emotional openness.…”

This study investigated correlations among dream characteristics and measures of trauma and perinatal bereavement as reported by women who have experienced perinatal loss. 37 women who had experienced perinatal loss were randomly selected from a perinatal support group and administered the Impact of Event Scale, the Perinatal Grief Scale, and the KJP Dream Inventory. Scores on the Impact of Events Scale (IES) correlated with Emotional Pain (.41), Despair (.37), Dreams of Death (.31), Dreams of Water (-.29), and Dreams of Being Famous (-.36). Subjects who reported higher Social Support and Emotional Expressiveness throughout their trauma showed lower scores on IES Total scores (-.52), Despair (-.62), and reported dreaming more in color (.41). Results are discussed in terms of the hypothesized role dreams may play in the grief-recovery process.

“…The study used a group of women (n = 29) who were married or in a cohabitating relationship (Kroth, Roeder, Gonzales, Tran, & Orzech, 2005). The KJP Dream Inventory (Kroth, Gilbert, Guichard, & Quatman, 1999) was used to measure the frequency of dream subtypes including nightmares as well as other qualitative aspects of dreams. The Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1976) was used to measure satisfaction of an intimate relationship.…”

While counterintuitive, there is evidence that some nightmares may serve a beneficial function. The theory behind this idea is presented within the context of a continuity hypothesis of dreaming where the negative emotions presented in a nightmare can lead to psychosocial development, just as some negative experiences do so during wake. The theoretical presentation is accompanied by a selected review of the most relevant studies and how the theory might be incorporated into psychotherapy when nightmares are not the presenting complaint.
