Afraid to share your dreams with others because you think you are alone? Chances are, if you have dreamed it, others have too. But do you have these dreams regularly?
你会因为孤独而害怕与他人分享你的梦境么?如果你会做梦,别人可能也会。但是你做的梦是有规律的吗?
This is what Calvin Kai-Ching Yu wanted to explore in a new study published in the November issue of Dreaming. He set out to analyze not only what dreams are most common, but what dreams recur regularly.
这就是Calvin Kai-Ching Yu想要在《梦想》杂志十一月特刊中探索的新课题。他打算分析出做梦不仅仅是最普遍的现象,而且想知道什么样的梦境经常有规律地反复出现。
Yu reviews interesting findings from past studies and performs his own study to measure dream prevalence (what percent of people have ever had a dream), dream recurrence (what percent have had the dream more than three times in their life), and dream regularity (what percent have had the dream at least several times a year).
Yu翻看过去研究中有趣的发现,实施他自己的预设来测量做梦的普遍性(即做梦者的比率),做梦的反复性(做某个梦超过三次的人的比例),以及做梦的规律性(每年做某个梦至少数次的人的比例)。
