Are you the one who struggles to recall dreams from the night? Or do you fall into the category of those who remember every detail of the dream? Yes, scientists have decoded the reason behind this. Researchers at IMT schools for advanced studies have discovered the factors that influence the so -called ‘dream recovery’, which is the ability to remember the dream when awakening, and also revealed the Personal characteristics and sleep model lead to this phenomenon. Research is published in the magazine Communication psychology. The reason behind some people recalls their dreams while others struggle is always a mystery. Although a few studies suggest that young women, young individuals or people who tend to dream tend to recall better night dreams, not confirmed findings. Some hypotheses also believe that personality characteristics or cognitive ability, but the support data is scarce. In the recent Covid epidemic, when a sudden increase in recalling the dream was reported worldwide, the attention was returned to this topic. The new study was conducted with the cooperation of the University of Camerino, studying dreams in the 2020 to 2024. More than 200 individuals from 18 to 70, participated in the research. Participants have recorded their dreams daily for 15 days, and their sleep data and perception are monitored by wear and psychological tests. Every day, right after waking up, participants are required to make a voicing record of the dreams they have in sleep. They are also required to take notes about whether they remember their dreams or not. The researchers also asked participants to record anything they could recall their sleep. Participants wear a wrist suit to monitor sleep to detect sleep time, effectiveness and disorders during the research process. At the beginning and end of the dream recording stage, the participants were subject to psychological tests and questionnaires to measure different factors, from the extent of anxiety to the dream, clear. To the wandering (the trend often shifts attention from the mission in hand towards unrelated thoughts, or internal reflexes), up to the attention tests and selective memory. The dream of recalling the difference between individuals and many factors affecting it. The researchers found that people with a positive attitude towards dreams and trends of wandering in their minds are more likely to recall their dreams. Sleep models also play an important role in recalling dreams. Those who spend a longer time of light Sleep Able to wake up with a memory of their dreams. Similarly, young participants show that the rate of recovery is higher, while the elderly often go through ‘white dreams’ (a dream feeling without remembering any details. any). Changes related to age in memory also affect the recovery of dreams. Interestingly, seasonal variants too affect the recovery. Participants reported lower dreams in the winter than spring, suggesting the potential effects of environmental or biological factors. Our findings show that the recovery of dreams is not only an opportunity but a reflection of personal attitude, cognitive characteristics and dynamics of interactive sleep. These insights not only deepen our understanding of the mechanisms behind the dream, but also makes sense in discovering the role of a dream for mental health and research on consciousness.

The data collected in this project will serve as a reference for future comparisons with clinical populations. This will allow us to move forward to study the pathological changes of dreams and prognosis and potential diagnosis, Mr. Valina Elce, a researcher at IMT and the author The first of the study added.
