Abstract
Dreaming is defined as mental activity that occurs during sleep. This article reviews the major findings of dream studies performed in patients with sleep disorders. Dream recall is heightened in patients who have insomnia and their dreams reflect current stressors. Although breathing-related dreams in sleep apnea patients are rare, deregulation of the rapid eye movement sleep system in narcolepsy also manifests in dreams, which are more bizarre and more negatively toned than in healthy persons. The number of studies in this young and growing field is small, however, and further research is needed to confirm and expand the reviewed findings.
