As others studies have shown that men and women sleep differently, it’s not so surprising that there are differences when it comes to how we dream. Based on surveys and studies, The Huffington Post says that researchers are able to see common themes in men and women’s dreams, respectively:
Men Tend To Dream Of:
- Success or failure in life
- Achievements at work
- Competition
- Violence
- Strangers
- Physical aggression
- Cars and roads
- Less color
- Shorter Dreams
Women Tend To Dream Of:
- Emotional expression
- People they know
- Challenges of balancing personal life and work
- Family members, relationships
- Conversation
- Verbal aggression
- Loss of loved ones
- More color
- Longer dreams
Everyone has different degrees of masculine and feminine traits, therefore people can dream differently or similarly in spite of sex or gender identity. However, personality traits, background, cultural environment, worldview and belief system play more of a role in determining the content of one’s dreams.
