title: Frequency of dream recall by children and their mothers.
abstract: The present study investigated frequency of dream recall in children and their mothers. Overall, 88 mothers (M age: 38.7 yr., SD=5.0) and their children (45 girls, 43 boys; M age: 9.9 yr., SD= 1.3) participated. A small but significant positive Pearson correlation of .19 between the frequency of dreams reported by mothers and by their children is consistent with Cohen's 1973 hypothesis of a socialization effect on the frequency of dream recall.
