The study explored to what extent dreams have been perceived as being helpful in waking life. More specifically, for "important" waking life (conscious) decisionmaking, the solving of emotional or nonemotional (practical/technical/work-related) problems, forming/changing an attitude about something or somebody, or a conscious behavioral change of the dreamer (N = 667). On a general level, 62,1% of participants indicated that dreams at some point had been of help or good use (regression analysis found a strong association with dream attitude, measured on Dream Attitude Scale [DAS]). Most often mentioned areas of help were creative input (55,8%) and emotional problem-solving (52,9%). There was a positive association between dream attitude (DAS) and emotional problem-solving and creative input. In all, 8.9% of participants reported that a "dream had influenced an important decision" (e.g., leaving a job, moving, buying a house, or leaving the partner). A regression analysis again indicated that a more positive attitude toward dreams (DAS) was associated with dreams influencing important decisions. Higher dream recall was also associated with all mentioned aspects. (Less)

在清醒生活（非治疗环境）中有意识地使用梦来进行决策、解决问题、态度形成和行为改变。

该研究探讨了梦在多大程度上被认为对清醒生活有帮助。更具体地说，对于“重要的”清醒生活（有意识的）决策，解决情感或非情感（实际/技术/工作相关）问题，形成/改变对某事或某人的态度，或做梦者有意识的行为改变（ N = 667）。在一般水平上，62.1% 的参与者表示梦在某个时候有帮助或有用（回归分析发现与梦态度有很强的关联，用梦态度量表 [DAS] 衡量）。最常提到的帮助领域是创造性输入 (55.8%) 和情感问题解决 (52.9%)。梦想态度（DAS）与情感问题解决和创造性投入之间存在正相关。总之，8。9% 的参与者报告说“梦想影响了一个重要的决定”（例如，离职、搬家、买房或离开伴侣）。回归分析再次表明，对梦的更积极态度 (DAS) 与影响重要决策的梦有关。更高的梦想回忆也与所有提到的方面有关。（较少的）
