Polygraphic sleep recordings were made and dream reports collected over 3 consecutive nights for 12 asthmatic subjects with nocturnal attacks and 12 matched normal control subjects. The asthmatic group 1) had more episodes of a vivid impression of dreaming without recollection of dream content ("white dreams") after awakening spontaneously in the morning (nights 1 and 2) and after awakening immediately following REM sleep (night 3), 2) used shorter sentences in dream narrations, and 3) had no dream recall when awakened during nocturnal asthma attacks. The authors suggest that conflictual material emerging during REM or other sleep stages may contribute to the occurrence of nocturnal attacks but is repressed on awakening.
对12名有夜间发作的哮喘患者和12名匹配的正常对照者进行了连续3晚的多导睡眠记录，并收集了梦境报告。哮喘组1）在早晨自然醒来后（第1和2晚）以及快速眼动睡眠后立即醒来（第3晚），有更多生动的梦境印象但无法回忆起梦境内容（“白梦”）的发作；2）在梦境叙述中使用较短的句子；3）在夜间哮喘发作时醒来则无法回忆起梦境。作者认为，在快速眼动睡眠或其他睡眠阶段出现的冲突性材料可能导致夜间发作的发生，但在醒来时被压抑。
