Research into (lucid) dreaming has shown that the images of a dream are supported by the corresponding body actions, utilizing those muscles which remain active during dreaming. We suggest that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or Cot Death may be a result of an infant dreaming about its life as a fetus. In the course of that dream, since a fetus does not breathe in the usual sense, the infant may cease to breathe and die. Our hypothesis is consistent with the known facts about SIDS, including social factors such as sleeping position and climatic variation. We suggest that the risk of SIDS can be reduced by making the environment of the infant, as much as possible, unlike that of the womb.
对清醒梦的研究表明，梦境中的图像由相应的身体动作支撑，利用了在做梦时仍保持活跃的那些肌肉。我们认为婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）或摇篮死亡可能是婴儿梦到其胎儿生活的结果。在那个梦境过程中，由于胎儿并非以通常意义上的方式呼吸，婴儿可能会停止呼吸并死亡。我们的假设与关于婴儿猝死综合征的已知事实相符，包括诸如睡眠姿势和气候变化等社会因素。我们建议通过尽可能使婴儿的环境与子宫环境不同，来降低婴儿猝死综合征的风险。
