目的：先前对创伤和压力后的梦的研究发现，梦的中心意象的力量增加。然而，很难对创伤前后的梦进行适当的对照研究。本研究旨在比较同一个人在9/11/01之前和之后的梦。假设是9/11事件产生轻微的创伤，或至少在每个人都生活在美国的情绪arousal.Methods：44人在美国谁一直记录他们所有的梦想多年，每个人提供了20个连续的梦想，从他们的记录，最后10个记录在9/11和9/11后的前10个。这些梦想被分配随机数字和评分盲的基础上使用一些评级量表建立reliability.Results：梦后9/11表现出高度显着的增加，在中央图像强度，以及中央图像比例（与scorable中央图像的梦想数量），但没有变化的梦想长度，梦想的相似性，整体生动，或涉及飞机或高层建筑物的内容。没有“精确重放”的梦想，描绘了电视上反复看到的9/11事件的实际事件。结论：这些结果是一致的当代做梦理论，强调的作用，潜在的情绪在产生中央梦意象，并建议中央梦意象的强度有关的权力，潜在的情绪。
Objective: Previous studies of dreams after trauma and stress have found increases in the power of the central image of the dream. However, it has been difficult to perform properly controlled studies of dreams before and after trauma. The present study is designed to compare dreams before and after 9/11/01 in the same persons. The assumption is that the events of 9/11 produced mild trauma or at the very least emotional arousal in everyone living in the United States.Methods: Forty-four persons in the United States who had been recording all their dreams for years each provided 20 consecutive dreams from their records-the last 10 recorded before 9/11 and the first 10 after 9/11. These dreams were assigned random numbers and scored on a blind basis using a number of rating scales with established reliability.Results: Dreams after 9/11 showed a highly significant increase in central image intensity, as well as central image proportion (number of dreams with scorable central images) but no change in dream length, dream-likeness, overall vividness, or content involving airplanes or tall buildings. There were no "exact replay" dreams picturing the actual events of 9/11 seen repeatedly on TV.Conclusions: These results are consistent with the Contemporary Theory of Dreaming, which emphasizes the role of underlying emotion in producing central dream imagery and suggests that the intensity of the central dream imagery is related to the power of the underlying emotion.
