title: Frequency of day residue in dreams of young adults.
abstract: The percentage of dreams with day residue that could be identified by the dreamer, without free associating to the dream, was observed for a sample of 44 men and 44 women college students. The men identified day residue in 46.6% of their dreams and the women identified day residue in 48.9% of their dreams. The results were discussed in the context of Freud's idea that, while every dream likely has day residue, only some dreams have residue that can be identified without first free associating to the dream.
