An observatory on changes in dreaming during a pandemic: a living systematic review (part 1)
J Sleep Res. 2022 Nov 1:e13742. doi: 10.1111/jsr.13742. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 'new' way of dreaming has emerged during the pandemic, enhancing the interest of psychological literature. Indeed, during the years of the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many studies have investigated dream-related phenomena and dreaming functions. Considering the constant and rapid emergence of new results on this topic, the main aim of this study was to create an 'observatory' on the short- and long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on dreaming, by means of a living systematic review. The baseline results are ...

A systematic review of dreams and nightmares recall in patients with rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder
J Sleep Res. 2022 Oct 31:e13768. doi: 10.1111/jsr.13768. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder is a REM sleep parasomnia characterised by the loss of the physiological muscle atonia during REM sleep, resulting in dream enactment behaviours that may cause injuries to patients or their bed partners. The nocturnal motor episodes seem to respond to the dream contents, which are often vivid and violent. These behavioural and oneiric features make the REM sleep behaviour disorder a potential model to study dreams. This review aims to unify the literature about dream recall in REM sleep b...

Enhancing imagery rehearsal therapy for nightmares with targeted memory reactivation
Curr Biol. 2022 Oct 11:S0960-9822(22)01477-4. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.09.032. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNightmare disorder (ND) is characterized by dreams with strong negative emotions occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. ND is mainly treated by imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT), where the patients are asked to change the negative story line of their nightmare to a more positive one. We here used targeted memory reactivation (TMR) during REM sleep to strengthen IRT-related memories and accelerate remission of ND. Thirty-six patients with ND were asked to perform an initial IRT session and, while they generate...
