title: [Childhood memories and adult dreams].
abstract: The present retrospective study investigated the often cited clinically relevant relationship between dreams and childhood memories. Indeed, the hypothesis was confirmed that high dream recallers remember more childhood memories than low dream recallers. Whether this is a pure cognitive relationship (memory) or could reflect general personality tendencies request further investigations. Additionally, the high incidence of childhood nightmares in a normal population was stressed.
