While asleep, some individuals dream<\/a>. Dreams affect the mood of an individual, and often they have supernatural connections ( biblical stories<\/a>), suggesting there may be a connection with the divine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I’ve had many dreams that have no natural explanation. Like many research activities we wonder what can be the explanation for them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, we have collaborated with UK Biobank and others to study dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK Biobank and our team asked over 180,000 individuals in the UK how often they have nightmares.

This first glimpse of the data gives a very interesting depiction of what is happening at a large scale. First, we find that in the UK Biobank data approximately 25-30% of individuals answer that they never have nightmares. Interestingly, approximately 0.4% of individuals report that they have either daily or almost daily nightmares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

120,000 individuals responded to how often they can remember their dreams.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 1% report that they remember their dreams on a daily basis. About 5% report that they can’t recall their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are aggregating data for dreams and nightmares and tying to genetics, blood biomarkers, and other phenotype measurements that may be available to us to better understand them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
