Dream length and creativity: an opposite finding.
The present study investigated the relation between dream length and verbal creativity for 32 subjects who were given a verbal creativity test and also kept a dream diary over a 2-wk. period. Subjects with high verbal creativity scores reported significantly shorter dreams. This may indicate that other factors influence the dream report's length, including visual memory.
