Abstract

Questionnaires and dream reports of 241 respondents were analyzed for the presence of media figures in their dreams. The findings suggest that we do not enter television scripts in our dreams, but incorporate media figures into our own life scripts. In their dreams respondents indicate the status of the media figure is altered as they appear as friends, collaborators or associates rather than in their role as celebrity. Dreams and mass media are parallel imaginary social worlds that sometimes crisscross, but are not so interrelated or intertwined that media becomes a predominant force within the individual's dream world.
