[Dream recall in depressed patients].
The present paper reviews the literature on dream life and dream recall in depressives. Most often the depressive recall fewer dreams than healthy controls. This finding was confirmed by the present study. The hypothesis that the reduction of dream recall is caused by cognitive impairment was partly supported. Other results of the study, positive correlations between dream recall and age or duration of illness, need further study.
