Abstract
We sought to replicate and extend previous work to examine the relationship between individuals’ belief in four common dream perspectives, including the Freudian, celebrity admiration, and rational and experiential abilities. We administered a short dream theories questionnaire, the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS), and the Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI-40) to 122 university students. Key results indicate strong support for the Freudian perspective on dreams with individuals who support that perspective tending to operate more experientially rather than rationally. We did not discover strong relationships between the CAS and the dreams theories questionnaire nor the REI-40. Results are discussed in terms of how the current results fit in the recent empirical literature and how they forge new pathways for future research in the area of belief in pseudoscientific perspectives and parasocial relationships.
