title: Early memories and dream recall.
abstract: Investigated the relationship of very early memories and current dream recall. Data on early memories--for the first 3 years of life and for ages 4 through 6--were obtained by questionnaire. Dream reports were recorded at home over a 9-night period. A positive relationship was found between the number of nights for which dreams were recorded and memories reported for ages 4 through 6. Dream report was unrelated to memories reported for the first 3 years of life.
