研究：梦见和伴侣吵架会影响感情

Some couples even find themselves interpreting a bad dream about their partner as a “sign” that the relationship is not going to work out.

However, rather than being a form of supernatural clairvoyance, it seems such dreams are simply making rows more likely to happen.

Dr Dylan Selterman, a psychologist at the University of Maryland who led the research, said: “The analyses I ran for this sample suggest that there is a small but significant association between arguments in dreams and conflicts the next day.

“Dreams feel very real and that’s because neurologically, your brain can’t tell the difference between dreaming experiences and waking experiences until after we wake up.

“So in a way, according to the brain, those things actually did happen.

“Your brain processes it the same way, it’s only after we wake up that we draw a somewhat arbitrary distinction between waking and dreaming experiences.”

Dr Selterman decided to study the phenomenon after experiencing the impact that dreams could have on a relationship for himself.

He said that his girlfriend while at college would dream about him betraying her and then be angry with him about it when she woke.

In his study, which is published in the journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science, Dr Selterman studied 61 couples in committed relationships over a two-week period.

Each morning they were asked to fill in dream diaries and then in the evening record what they had done during the day, including their relations with their partners.
