为了研究梦的维度结构，在加拿大三个城市的1181名大学一年级学生中进行了典型梦问卷（TDQ）调查。研究发现，不同年龄、性别或区域的主题概况差别不大;但发现的差异可解释为发展里程碑、个性特征或社会文化因素所致。因子分析产生了一个由16个相关因子组成的解决方案，这些因子与人口统计变量有差异，占方差的51%。女性主要依赖消极因素（失败、失控、蛇虫），男性则主要依赖积极因素（魔法神话、外星生命）。结果支持的概念，随着时间的推移，区域和性别的一致性，并反映了基本的梦想尺寸，可能会受到社会文化，个性认知或生理因素的影响的典型的梦想主题。
To investigate the dimensional structure of dreams, the Typical Dreams Questionnaire (TDQ) was administered to 1181 first-year University students in three Canadian cities. A profile of themes was found that varied little by age, gender or region; however differences that were identified could be interpreted as due to developmental milestones, personality attributes or sociocultural factors. Factor analysis produced a solution consisting of 16 coherent factors that were differentially associated with demographic variables and that accounted for 51 % of the variance. Women loaded primarily on negative factors (failure, loss of control, snakes-insects), men primarily on positive factors (magic-myth, alien life). Results support the concept of typical dream themes as consistent over time, region and gender and as reflecting the influence of fundamental dream dimensions that may be influenced by sociocultural, personality cognitive or physiological factors.
