Description
Summary:The relation of dream recall frequency (DRF) to variables associated with field independence and motivation to recall was investigated. Recallers have lower M thresholds and do better on the Embedded Figures Test than nonrecallers. High recallers feel more in control of their own lives than low recallers and have less curiosity into noninterpersonal matters. No differences were found in intolerance of ambiguity, total or interpersonal curiosity, future-orientation, or leisure-activity preferences. These findings, in conjunction with what is already known about the correlates of differential DRF, suggest the existence of 2 life styles: the "inner-acceptant," of which high DRF is a component and the "inner-rejectant," of which low DRF is a component.
