50 college students completed the Anomalous Experiences Inventory, the AT-20 measure of tolerance of ambiguity, and a frequency of dream recall questionnaire. Using path analysis we show that precognitive dreams can be modeled as accidental 'hits' with increased dream recall and the interpretation of such hits as 'meaningful coincidences' seems facilitated by a belief in the paranormal. As predicted, both factors are affected by tolerance of ambiguity, which provides the flexibility required to store and recall ambiguous dream information while simultaneously allowing dream recallers to assume a paranormal origin of their 'precognitive' dreams. Moreover, the fit of the proposed model did not depend on sex or age. Alternative models that provided a better fit to the data validated the roles of tolerance of ambiguity and belief in the paranormal in eliciting experiences of precognitive dreaming, but frequency of dream recall was not confirmed as a crucial factor.
50名大学生完成了异常体验量表、AT - 20模糊容忍度测量以及梦回忆频率问卷。通过路径分析，我们表明，预知梦可以被建模为因梦回忆增加而产生的偶然“命中”，而将这些“命中”解释为“有意义的巧合”似乎因对超自然现象的信仰而变得更容易。正如所预测的那样，这两个因素都受到模糊容忍度的影响，模糊容忍度提供了存储和回忆模糊梦境信息所需的灵活性，同时允许梦回忆者假定他们的“预知”梦具有超自然起源。此外，所提出模型的拟合度并不取决于性别或年龄。能更好拟合数据的替代模型验证了模糊容忍度和对超自然现象的信仰在引发预知梦境体验中的作用，但梦回忆频率并未被确认为一个关键因素。
