Dream Recall: Research, Clinical
Implications and Future Directions
Michael Schredl, Ph.D.
The present article reviews the hitherto developed theories
explaining the variability of dream recall. In addition to a section
discussing measurement issues, the empirical findings are briefly
summarized in order to evaluate the different theories. The clearest
support was reported for the arousal-retrieval model and the lify-style
hypothesis. Furthermore, some clinical implications of dream recall
research will be outlined. A possible therapeutical benefit of
enhancing dream recall was suggested by the findings of Cartwright
et al. To conclude, a few ideas to stimulate future research are
presented. (Sleep and Hypnosis 1999;1:72-81)
