新冠肺炎大流行导致的封锁对日常习惯、情感体验、心理健康和睡眠产生了强烈影响。大量证据表明，梦受到清醒经历和睡眠模式的影响。根据这一观点，封锁应该引起了做梦活动的剧烈变化。这项研究的目的是评估意大利封锁期间的梦境特征。我们通过在线调查收集了自我报告的人口统计、临床、睡眠和梦境数据。我们的样本包括1091名参与者。结果表明，与封锁前相比，封锁期间的梦境频率、情绪负荷、生动度、奇异度和长度都有所增加。在女性和睡眠质量差、夜间破坏行为和抑郁症状的受试者中发现了更高的梦频率和特定的定性特征。在封锁期间评估的大多数梦境特征都是通过年龄、性别、抑郁症状、家中是否有其他人以及领土区域来预测的。对睡眠特征的特别关注表明，睡眠时间和几个睡眠质量指标是梦变量的最佳预测指标。在封锁期间，梦的特征还包括负面情绪增加，这在女性、年轻人和睡眠质量差、夜间破坏性行为、焦虑和抑郁症状的参与者中尤为常见。我们的研究结果证实了流行病对做梦有强烈影响的假设，支持了清醒和睡眠之间心理过程连续性的假设，以及睡眠质量和持续时间对做梦活动有重要影响的观点。
The lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on daily habits, emotional experience, mental health and sleep. A large body of evidence suggests that dreams are affected by both waking experiences and sleep pattern. In this view, the lockdown should have induced intense modifications in dreaming activity. The aim of the study was to assess dream features during the lockdown in Italy. We used an online survey to collect self-reported demographic, clinical, sleep and dream data. Our sample included 1091 participants. Results point to an increased dream frequency, emotional load, vividness, bizarreness and length during the lockdown, compared to a pre-lockdown period. Higher dream frequency and specific qualitative features were found in females and subjects with poor sleep quality, nocturnal disruptive behaviours and depressive symptoms. Most of the dream features assessed during the lockdown were predicted by age, gender, depressive symptoms, presence/absence of other people at home, and territorial area. A specific focus on sleep features revealed that sleep duration and several sleep quality indexes were the best predictors of dream variables. During the lockdown, dreams were also characterized by increased negative emotions, which were particularly frequent in females, younger adults, and participants with poor sleep quality, nocturnal disruptive behaviours, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Our results confirm the hypothesis of a strong influence of the pandemic on dreaming, supporting both the hypothesis of continuity between wake and sleep mental processes and the view of a crucial influence of sleep quality and duration on dreaming activity.
