Overall, these results are consistent with the continuity hypothesis of dreams.ĬOVID-19 PTSD continuity hypothesis disruptive nocturnal behaviors dreams emotions lockdown pandemic sleep. The stable prevalence of fear in dreams and the large frequency of poor sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and anxiety are probably related to the persistence of many negative consequences of the pandemic. The co-occurrence of such changes with a decline in nocturnal PTSD-related symptoms, sleep latency, and time with digital media suggests an influence of post-traumatic stress levels, lifestyle modifications, and sleep pattern on dream changes during different phases of the pandemic. These findings highlight that the end of the home confinement had a strong impact on the oneiric activity, in the direction of reduced dream frequency, intensity, and lockdown-related contents. Only the frequency of specific lockdown-related dream contents exhibited a reduction at PL. Fear was the most frequently reported emotion in dreams at TL (26.9%) and PL (22.2%). A PL decrease in time spent with digital media was observed ( t = -2.77 p = 0.007). The high frequency of poor sleep quality, anxiety, and depressive symptoms observed during TL remained stable at PL, while sleep latency ( t = -4.09 p < 0.001) and PTSD-related disruptive nocturnal behaviors ( t = -5.68 p < 0.001) exhibited a reduction at PL. Our final sample included 108 participants. We performed a longitudinal study using a web-based survey to collect demographic, COVID-19 related, clinical, sleep, and dream data at TL and PL. The aim of the present study was to provide an exhaustive assessment of dream features during total lockdown (TL) and a post-lockdown (PL) period characterized by eased restrictive measures in Italy. However, only a few studies have assessed the longitudinal changes in dream phenomenology during different phases of the pandemic, often focused on a limited number of dream variables. A growing body of evidence highlights that the COVID-19 pandemic affected oneiric activity.
