Although dreaming is a private experience, dream sharing is a common experience for most people. Dreams are disclosed to romantic partners, friends, and relatives, and the sharing is often associated with enhancement of relational intimacy and stress relief (e.g., in the case of nightmares). Research has focused on factors that might affect dream sharing such as dream recall frequency, gender, and emotional intensity of the dream. The present findings indicate that about 14.5% of the dreams were shared and that dream recall frequency, nightmare frequency, attitude toward dreams, gender, extroversion, and thin boundaries are associated independently with the frequency of dream sharing. Longitudinal studies are needed to differentiate between state factors and trait factors and to validate the self-reported positive effects of dream sharing on intimacy in romantic relationships and friendships.
尽管做梦是一种个人体验，但对大多数人来说，分享梦境却是一种常见的经历。人们会向恋人、朋友和亲戚透露自己的梦境，这种分享通常与增进关系亲密度和缓解压力（如噩梦的情况）有关。研究聚焦于可能影响梦境分享的因素，如梦境回忆频率、性别以及梦境的情感强度。目前的研究结果表明，约14.5%的梦境被分享过，且梦境回忆频率、噩梦频率、对梦的态度、性别、外向性和心理边界薄厚与梦境分享频率独立相关。需要进行纵向研究以区分状态因素和特质因素，并验证自我报告的梦境分享对浪漫关系和友谊中亲密度的积极影响。
