A trio of Scientists in Germany sought to find out if dreams were different depending on sexuality. The study, recently published in the Journal of Homosexuality, sought to find out if gay men and straight men had similar dreaming habits. For example, do gay or straight people experience more nightmares? Or erotic dreams? The study states, “Although numerous individual factors influencing dream content have been explored, research on the link betweensexual orientation and dreaming remains limited.“ They polled 119 German-speaking men (55 homosexual and 65 heterosexual) about their waking life, sexuality and dreams. The results found that all of the men polled had similar dream patterns. Researchers noted, “The main differences in dream content were that homosexual men reported more sexual dreams, a higher ratio of male to female dream characters, and more romantic relationships with men.”
