Dr. Zadra said the study of sex in dreams is important because it "is consistent with the continuity hypothesis of dreaming which postulates that the content of everyday dreams reflects the dreamer's waking states and concern - that is, that dream and waking though contents are continuous."
Overall, it appears that when compared to studies in the 1960s that women are now dreaming more about sex. Dr. Zadra said he wasn't sure it that meant there was a fundamental change in women's dreams or that women feel freer now to express what might have been considered a generation or more ago.
