Abstract

Welcome to our winter issue. May we all be warm during the coming months with increased heating costs. Volume 42, Issue 2 two contains five exciting articles. The topics deal with lucid dreaming, imagined interactions and unrequited love, narrative identity and conception, and creative thinking. The first pair of studies examine lucid dreaming and personality led by the dream research team of Michel Schredl in the sleep laboratory and Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim, Germany. When dreaming lucidly, the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming within the dream. The initial study is co-authored with Anellka Remedios, Silvia Marin-Dragu, Sana Sheikh, Alyssa Forbes, Ravishankar Subramani Iyer, Matt Orr, and Sandra Meier. They investigated the frequency of recalling lucid dreams and personality correlates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us recall stories of people having time on their hands while staying at home during periods of isolation and quarantining. Hence, dreaming can increase. Their study was large as they surveyed over 1500 participants about the frequency of lucid dreaming and their association with the BIG 5 personality traits (OCEAN; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism.) The results are intriguing in that lucid dream frequency was related to Covid-19-related worries while dream recall frequency was not. The second study was authored by Michael Schredl, Judith Zumstein, Sven Baumann, and Mirja Schmidt. They investigated sensory processing sensitivity and the Big 5 personality traits in conjunction with lucid dreaming. There are three factors of sensory processing sensitivity; ease of Excitation, aesthetic sensitivity, and low sensory threshold. Again, this was a large study with over 1800 participants. The older mean age of around 48 was nice, since so many studies contain younger age distributions. The results are intriguing in terms of the mechanism underlying the inter-individual differences in lucid dream frequency.

欢迎来到我们的冬季特刊。在接下来的几个月里,随着取暖费用的增加,愿我们都温暖。第42卷第2期包含5篇令人兴奋的文章。主题涉及清醒梦,想象的互动和单相思,叙事身份和概念,以及创造性思维。第一组研究是由德国曼海姆睡眠实验室和中央心理健康研究所的米歇尔·施雷德(Michel Schredl)的梦境研究小组领导的,研究对象是清醒梦和性格。当清醒地做梦时,做梦者意识到他们在梦中做梦。最初的研究是与Anellka Remedios, Silvia Marin-Dragu, Sana Sheikh, Alyssa Forbes, Ravishankar Subramani Iyer, Matt Orr和Sandra Meier共同撰写的。他们调查了在COVID-19大流行期间回忆清醒梦的频率和性格的相关性。我们中的许多人都记得,在隔离和隔离期间,人们在家里有时间。因此,做梦会增加。他们的研究规模很大,因为他们调查了1500多名参与者,了解清醒梦的频率及其与五大人格特征(OCEAN;开放性、严谨性、外向性、宜人性、神经质。)结果很有趣,因为清醒梦的频率与covid -19相关的担忧有关,而梦的回忆频率与此无关。第二项研究的作者是Michael Schredl, Judith Zumstein, Sven Baumann和Mirja Schmidt。他们调查了感觉处理敏感性和五大人格特征与清醒梦的关系。感觉加工敏感性有三个因素;易于兴奋,审美敏感性和低感觉阈值。这是一项有1800多名参与者的大型研究。48岁左右的较年长的平均年龄是不错的,因为许多研究都包含了更年轻的年龄分布。就个体间清醒梦频率差异的潜在机制而言,研究结果很有趣。第三项研究调查了中国参与者在没有得到爱回报的情况下,以想象互动形式出现的心理意象。作者:胡牧、张炳清、沈英和、郭静、王淑文。200多名中国大学生参与了调查。更理想化的浪漫信念与更强烈的单恋有关,这一发现强化了之前的发现。此外,“想成为恋人的人想象着与他们交往”
