Dream lucidity, the awareness of consciousness in dreams, is linked to functions that support reality monitoring in differentiating between internally and externally generated memories. However, lucid dreams have been argued to result from thin reality-fantasy boundaries that lead to reality monitoring errors. To examine the relationship between dream lucidity and reality monitoring, we recruited 31 college students to rate their dream lucidity for 7 days and then complete a reality monitoring test in Experiment 1, observing a positive correlation between dream lucidity and reality monitoring. In Experiment 2, 109 participants rated dream lucidity and the memory characteristics of perceived and imagined events. Dream lucidity was negatively correlated with differences in sensory details between the memories of perceived and imagined events. The findings indicate that individuals with high dream lucidity have a superior ability to discriminate between externally and internally generated events that are susceptible to reality monitoring errors.
梦境清晰，即意识到梦境中的意识，与支持现实监测的功能有关，有助于区分内部和外部产生的记忆。然而，有人认为清醒梦是由于现实与幻想之间的界限薄弱导致的现实监测错误而产生的。为了研究梦境清晰与现实监测之间的关系，我们招募了 31 名大学生，让他们连续 7 天对自己的梦境清晰程度进行评分，然后在实验 1 中完成现实监测测试，观察到梦境清晰程度与现实监测之间存在正相关关系。在实验 2 中，有 109 名参与者对梦境清晰程度以及感知和想象事件的记忆特征进行了评分。结果表明，梦境清晰程度与感知和想象事件的记忆之间在感官细节上的差异呈负相关。这些发现表明，梦境清晰程度高的个体具有更好的能力来区分易受现实监测错误影响的外部和内部产生的事件。
