Abstract

[It often has seemed in the earlier chapters that women are not featured much in the research of psychedelic drugs or dreams. There is considerable data, yet it is almost always the case that there are fewer female subjects or individuals included. This makes one feel if women are added as an afterthought. Certainly in fieldwork men are usually limited in their contact with women in many cultures. In a recent study of dreams Schredl (2007) found some interesting differences between men and women in dreaming. He reports that women tend to recall their dreams more often than men and report more frequent and intense nightmares than men. Women dream about as much about other women and men, while men dream more often about men. Men report aggressive encounters with often strange or unfamiliar men, while women dream of meeting other people who are familiar and the dreams occur in known or familiar places. Use of the Zadra and Nielsen (1997) dream category exam differentiated gender responses. Schredl et al. (2010) also report that women’s responses (failure, snakes, insects, loss of control) on the dreams questionnaire categories are more negative than men’s. In Neilsen et al. (2003) these same categories are prominent as well as “paralysis” in women. When comparing their results to a study in the 1950s (Griffith 1958) students reporting sexual experiences had jumped significantly, becoming the second-most prevalent theme in 2003, with a 12% difference between men (85%) to women (73%). In Griffith’s sample, the difference between men and women was 58%, which may reflect attitudinal changes over time. However, interpretation of responses and wording of questions as well as interpretation and type of sample may be of significance. Rubinstein et al. (1991) found regional differences reported by men and women in a large sample.]
