Why do women dream more than men?

Question

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a wonderful day!

Answer 1

I'm going out on a limb here to say... women are more emotional and sensitive as opposed to men. Dreams are normally an outlet for the subconscious mind. So women normally being bigger worriers than men and other things ... you get the point.

Answer 2

I think I heard somewhere that everyone dreams every night and the same number of dreams per night. Maybe women can just remember them better.

Answer 3

Dream is thought carried forward into the non-waking state; or, in other words, thoughts are the basis, the substratum, of the content of dreams.

Now,as the thoughts of women are more varied, that is, they are spread over a larger area of the daily life, of the daily routine, if you like, women will have more 'thought seeds' to become dreams later than men do, whose preoccupations have to do mainly with the workplace. And even if men should try to belittle women's 'thinking a lot, but only about chores and trivial, everyday matters', the fact remains that survival depends ultimately on those everyday, trivial, matters.

So it is not, really, that women dream more than men in the sense that they spend more time in dream than men do, only that their time dreaming will be more varied in content than men's. A better way to put it would be that women have more dreams, rather than they dream more, than men.

Answer 4

It would be interesting to see a citation or reference as to the basis, validity and reliability of your post.

Who has said and shown ( with accurate, reliable, verifiable data collected in a methodological manner using a systematic research, etc.) that women dream more than men?

Be well.

Answer 10

I don't think they do. They probably talk about their dreams more than men, so they tend to remember them more often and for longer periods of time. This may lead to belief they dream more.

Answer 11

I wish you had provided a reference to a scientific study (studies) for this in which they actually measured time spent dreaming.  I'm not sure it's true.  If it is, it would be because women have more unresolved issues to work through. They might need more time for the brain to restore itself after waking time.

Answer 12

Women are down to earth.It is men who dream while awake.

Answer 13

because women have more imaginations when men only believe in reality.

Answer 14

Every single person dreams maybe five or so dreams every single night. It's just a matter of remembering them or not.

It's called REM sleep and everyone does it and that's what makes people dream.
