At the IMT School for Advanced Studies (Lucca, Italy), key factors influencing dream recall have been identified.
Researchers observed more than 200 volunteers aged 18–70 over a period of 15 days, recording their dreams and sleep quality using wearable devices and psychometric tests.
It turned out that a positive attitude towards dreams and a tendency to daydream contributed to better recall. Younger respondents remembered their dreams better, while older participants often spoke of "white dreams" that left no clear memory.
Seasonal changes were also noted: most recalled fewer dreams in winter compared to the spring period. This indicates the influence of the environment, including lighting and circadian rhythms.
The results open new horizons for understanding the relationship between sleep, memory, and external conditions.
