“…In our study, the process of ruminating on intrusive thoughts might increase the severity of threats of the thoughts. Thus our results may be partly in line with Lafrenière et al (2018). According to the TST (e.g., Revonsuo, 2000), the increased severity of threats activated the TSS, triggering threatening dreams.…”

“…The two characteristics of intrusive thoughts were similar to threatening waking-life experiences. Lafrenière et al (2018) found a correlation between the average severity of daytime threats and the presence of threats in dreams. In our study, the process of ruminating on intrusive thoughts might increase the severity of threats of the thoughts.…”

“…Concerning the topic of the influence of threatening wakinglife experiences on dreams, the TST states that the experience of real threats triggers the activation of the TSS that activates long-term threatening memories during dreaming (Valli and Revonsuo, 2009). Some studies supported the TST, by showing that the presence of threatening waking-life experiences was correlated with the frequency of threatening dreams (Bradshaw et al, 2016;Lafrenière et al, 2018). However, these studies were correlational.…”

This study investigated whether ruminating on an intrusive thought before sleeping led to an increased likelihood of dreaming of threatening events. One hundred and forty-six participants were randomly assigned to a rumination condition (a rumination on an intrusive thought for 5 min before sleeping; N = 73) and a control condition (think about anything for 5 min before sleeping; N = 73). Participants completed a dream diary upon waking. The result showed that presleep ruminating on an intrusive thought increased the frequency of both threatening dreams and negative emotions in dreams. In addition, dreams with threatening events were more emotional and negative than dreams without threatening events. These results may support the threat simulation theory of dreaming. In addition, these results may give some insight into a mathematical model for the continuity hypothesis of dreaming.

“…Moreover, a more recent study investigated the occurrence of threats in dreams and threats in waking life and confirmed these findings. Results show that threats in dreams correlated with threats that were reported in daily waking-life logs during the study (Lafrenière, Lortie-Lussier, Dale, Robidoux, & De Koninck, 2018). These results also confirmed results of a similar study that found a correlation between frequent waking life threats and frequent dream threats.…”

The threat simulation in nightmares—Frequency and characteristics of dream threats in frequent nightmare dreamers.

et al. 2019

According to the threat simulation theory, the function of dreams is to rehearse threatening situations, which served an evolutionary advantage for our ancestors. Furthermore, the exposure to waking life threats is thus supposed to lead to an increased occurrence or quality of dream threats. Aims of the study were to investigate differences in the occurrence and quality of threatening events in dreams between nonnightmare dreamers and occasional nightmare dreamers. In the present study, a sample of narrative dream reports was investigated. Results show that occasional nightmare dreamers reported significantly more dreams than nonnightmare dreamers, but no significant differences were found in the intensity of negative emotions, the number of threats per dream, and the severity of dreams. Further, emotional appraisal plays an important role in the resolution of the threat. The threat simulation theory in particular is supported by this study.

English in elementary schools in the implementation of learning is still not effective until now. Actually, there are many problems related to the implementation of the development of English learning. In fact, the development of learning English itself is very beneficial for elementary school students, so they can improve their abilities. The research method used in this classroom action research is an experimental method with a Factorial Group Design (FGD) design with 2 categories. The data analysis technique in this study used two way ANOVA, with the help of computers, namely: SPSS for Windows version 24 program. The results of the study can be concluded that there are differences in English learning outcomes between learning by conversation methods and conventional methods for grade 4 students. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nu Sumber Agung. Then, there is no difference in English learning outcomes between grade 4 students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nu Sumber Agung with high self-confidence and low self-confidence. And the last, there is no interaction of methods with self-confidence on learning achievement in English.
