The present study is an extension of previous work on the dreams of pregnant women, with a large sample from pregnancy and postpartum. In total, 143 pregnant women completed dream diaries during 3 distinct periods. Also, 125 nonpregnant women completed a dream diary on 1 occasion. Pregnancy- and motherhood-related oneiric characteristics, as well as negative versus positive dream elements, were coded by 2 independent judges. Results revealed that pregnant women experienced more direct in-dream representations of pregnancy and motherhood than the comparison group. However, no differences in oneiric emotional content were observed between the 2 groups. Results support the continuity hypothesis with respect to thematic representations of pregnancy but are inconclusive regarding emotional content.

孕产期梦境内容：清醒与做梦连续性的精细探索。

本研究是先前关于孕妇梦境工作的延伸，样本来自怀孕和产后。总共有 143 名孕妇在 3 个不同的时期完成了梦日记。此外，125 名未怀孕的女性一次完成了梦想日记。与怀孕和母亲有关的梦境特征，以及消极与积极的梦想元素，由 2 位独立法官编码。结果显示，与对照组相比，孕妇在梦中经历了更直接的怀孕和母性表征。然而，两组之间没有观察到梦境情感内容的差异。结果支持关于怀孕主题表征的连续性假设，但在情感内容方面尚无定论。
