In recent years dreaming has been characterized as an information-processing activity that functions adaptively to match new experience with representations of past events already stored in long-term memory. Nine patients who reported dreams in psychotherapy were asked expressly if the dream imagery recalled a specific event from early in their lives. Of 50 consecutively reported dreams, 46 were associated with early events whose imagery appeared in the dream. When questioning about the past was omitted in a later series of 34 dreams, the same patients spontaneously recalled early events represented in the dream imagery only 13 times.
近年来，做梦被描述为一种信息处理活动，其功能是适应性地将新体验与已存储在长期记忆中的过去事件的表征相匹配。九名在心理治疗中报告过梦境的患者被明确询问，梦中意象是否唤起了他们早年生活中的特定事件。在连续报告的50个梦境中，有46个与早年事件相关，这些事件的意象出现在梦中。在后来的一系列34个梦境中，当省略对过去的询问时，同样的患者仅13次自发回忆起梦中意象所代表的早年事件。
