Abstract

The content of dreams and changes to the self were investigated in students moving to University. In study 1, 20 participants completed dream diaries and memory tasks before and after they had left home and moved to university, and generated self images, "I am..." statements (e.g. I am an undergraduate), reflective of their current self. Changes in "I ams" were observed, indicating a newly-formed 'university' self. These self, images and related autobiographical knowledge were found to be incorporated into recent dreams but not into dreams from other periods. Study 2 replicated these findings in a different sample (N=55). We suggest that these data reflect a period of self-consolidation in which new experiences and self images are incorporated into autobiographical memory knowledge structures representing personal goals during sleep.

摘要

对刚步入大学的学生的梦境内容和自我变化进行了调查。在研究1中，20名参与者在离开家进入大学前后完成了梦境日记和记忆任务，并生成了反映他们当前自我的自我形象，即 “我是……” 的表述（例如，我是一名本科生）。观察到 “我是……” 的表述发生了变化，表明形成了一个新的 “大学” 自我。这些自我形象和相关的自传体知识被发现融入到了近期的梦境中，但没有融入到其他时期的梦境中。研究2在另一个样本（N = 55）中重复了这些发现。我们认为，这些数据反映了一个自我巩固的时期，在此期间，新的经历和自我形象在睡眠中被纳入到代表个人目标的自传体记忆知识结构中。
