Aims
Overall, to investigate dreaming by observing the relationship between eye movement during sleep and dream recall.
Specifically…:
* To see if eye movement correlated with dream content * To see if dream recall differs between REM and nREM sleep * To see if dreamers could accurately estimate the amount of time they were in REM sleep.

Sample
* 9 adults * 7 male, 2 female * 5 studied in detail. The remain 4’s results were used to confirm those of the main 5. * Limited generalizability

Results of Predicting REM Length (5 minutes vs. 15 minutes)
* P’s performed very well! * High accuracy * Dream narrative (self report) word count matched the duration of time that the P was in REM sleep. * For example, P’s woken after 5 minutes of REM sleep had a shorter dream narrative. * P’s woken after 15 minutes of REM sleep had a longer dream narrative
