“…For that reason, most empirical investigation of dreaming (be it the investigation of dream content, or frequency) are based on the study of dream memories reported after the awakening of the dreamer (e.g., Schwartz and Maquet, 2002 ; Fosse et al, 2003 ; Schredl et al, 2003 ; Schwartz, 2003 ; Zadra and Robert, 2012 ; Windt, 2013 ; Vallat et al, 2017a ). Studies on dreaming have thus highlighted the cognitive and cerebral correlates of dream recall, either by investigating the EEG in the minutes preceding an awakening followed (or not) by a dream recall ( Esposito et al, 2004 ; Wittmann et al, 2004 ; Chellappa et al, 2011 ; Marzano et al, 2011 ; Scarpelli et al, 2015 ; Siclari et al, 2017 ), or by evaluating the cognitive and brain functioning associated with high and low DRF using behavioral methods, EEG or fMRI ( Ruby, 2011 for a review; Eichenlaub et al, 2014a , b ; Vallat et al, 2017b , 2018a ).…”
