Social media consumption plays an important role in everyday life and, thus, one would expect that this topic is reflected in dreams. This online survey included 1,349 participants (763 women, 586 men) completing questions about social media use in waking, percentage of social media dreams, and the Big Five personality dimensions. Social media dreams were quite rare (two percent of all remembered dreams), but their frequency correlated with neuroticism and extraversion-in addition to the amount of time using social media in waking-supporting the hypothesis that social media have a stronger effect on those person's inner life due to the higher importance attached to this channel of communication. For future research it would be of interest to elicit emotions related to social media in waking and the emotional tones of social media dreams to study whether positive and/or negative aspects of waking-life social media use are directly reflected in dreams.
社交媒体的使用在日常生活中扮演着重要的角色，因此，人们会期望这个话题能在梦中体现。该在线调查共包含 1349 名参与者（763 名女性，586 名男性），他们完成了关于醒时使用社交媒体、社交媒体梦境的百分比以及大五人格维度的问题。社交媒体梦相当罕见（所有记得的梦的 2%），但它们的频率与神经质和外向性相关——除了醒时使用社交媒体的时间——这支持了这样的假设，即由于对这种沟通渠道的重视程度更高，社交媒体对那些人的内心生活有更强的影响。对于未来的研究，唤起与醒时使用社交媒体相关的情绪以及社交媒体梦的情绪色调将很有趣，以研究醒时生活中社交媒体使用的积极和/或消极方面是否直接反映在梦中。
