作者假设，梦中自我（或做梦者）的表征会系统地改变，从自我的前反射形式到更复杂的形式，作为年龄和睡眠状态（REM与非REM）的函数。这些假设得到了部分证实。虽然作者发现，来自霍尔/货车德城堡梦想内容评分系统的所有自我概念相关的梦想内容指数在儿童和成人的梦想之间没有显着差异，但成人的自我更有可能参与“成功的”社会交往。在NREM梦境中，自性从不扮演侵略者的角色，在NREM梦境中，自性几乎总是友好互动的朋友。相反，与快速眼动相关的梦境中的自我更喜欢攻击性的遭遇。我们的研究结果表明，虽然自我的前反射形式是儿童梦中的常态，但两种高度复杂的自我形式出现在REM和NREM梦中。
The authors hypothesized that representations of the Self (or the dreamer) in dreams would change systematically, from a prereflective form of Self to more complex forms, as a function of both age and sleep state (REM vs. non-REM). These hypotheses were partially confirmed. While the authors found that all the self-concept-related dream content indexes derived from the Hall/Van de Castle dream content scoring system did not differ significantly between the dreams of children and adults, adult Selves were more likely to engage in "successful" social interactions. The Self never acted as aggressor in NREM dream states and was almost always the befriender in friendly interactions in NREM dreams. Conversely, the REM-related dream Self preferred aggressive encounters. Our results suggests that while prereflective forms of Self are the norm in children's dreams, two highly complex forms of Self emerge in REM and NREM dreams.
