INTRODUCTION
It has long been argued that there are dream metaphors which express waking-life experiences indirectly. Most of empirical evidence concerning this topic was in a qualitative way, while few studies explored the topic in a quantitative way. Under this background, we investigated whether dreaming of the typical theme 'being chased or pursued' was a metaphorical expression for waking-life experiences related to 'negative relationships with others'.
METHODS
One hundred and sixty participants reported their waking-life experiences and dreams for a single day. Following this, two external judges rated whether there were any elements related to 'negative relationships with others' in both waking-life experiences and dreams. In addition, the judges assessed if there was any content related to 'being chased or pursued' in both waking-life experiences and dreams.
RESULTS
The frequency of dreaming of 'negative relationships with others' was higher than the frequency of the same topic in waking-life experiences, which in turn was higher than the frequency of typical theme dreaming of 'being chased or pursued'. In addition, 'negative relationships with others' in waking-life experiences were correlated with both dreaming of 'being chased or pursued', and 'negative relationships with others' in dreams.
CONCLUSION
These results suggested that the typical theme 'being chased or pursued' in dreams may represent some waking-life experiences metaphorically. In addition, the results support the threat simulation theory of dreaming, which suggests that threatening events in waking life increase the possibility of threatening events in dreams.
引言
长期以来，人们一直认为存在一些梦境隐喻，它们以间接的方式表达清醒生活中的经历。关于这一主题的大多数实证证据都是定性的，而很少有研究以定量的方式探讨这一主题。在此背景下，我们调查了梦见典型主题“被追逐”是否是对与“与他人的负面关系”相关的清醒生活经历的隐喻表达。
方法
160名参与者报告了他们一天中的清醒生活经历和梦境。在此之后，两名外部评判员对清醒生活经历和梦境中是否存在与“与他人的负面关系”相关的任何元素进行评分。此外，评判员评估清醒生活经历和梦境中是否存在与“被追逐”相关的任何内容。
结果
梦见“与他人的负面关系”的频率高于清醒生活经历中相同主题的频率，而清醒生活经历中该主题的频率又高于梦见典型主题“被追逐”的频率。此外，清醒生活经历中的“与他人的负面关系”与梦见“被追逐”以及梦境中的“与他人的负面关系”均相关。
结论
这些结果表明，梦境中典型的“被追逐”主题可能隐喻地代表了一些清醒生活经历。此外，这些结果支持了梦境的威胁模拟理论，该理论表明清醒生活中的威胁事件会增加梦境中出现威胁事件的可能性。
