Moreover, there is increasing evidence for the thesis that dreams take part in the process of emotional regulation by creating narrative structures and new associations for memories with emotional and personal relevance and giving birth to a reduced emotional arousal or balanced mood state during post-dreaming wakefulness. As health means a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, it is reasonable to assume that it is reflected in the quality of dream experiences. These theoretical considerations are exemplified by significant associations between dream emotions and health indexes emerging after the preliminary analysis of the Hungarostudy epidemiological database. Results suggest that items of the Dream Quality Questionnaire correlate with self-rated health, days spent on sick leave and most prominently with well-being. Negative dream emotions are negative predictors of health, while the opposite is true for positive ones. This effect is only partially explained by the illness intrusiveness index, the effect of dreams on daytime mood or well-being as measured by the well-being scale of the World Health Organization (WHO). Our results indicate that simple practical questions regarding habitual dream-affect, nightmares and night terror-like symptoms convey information on the general mental and physical health of the subjects, which could be useful in medical practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: dreams, nightmares, REM sleep, health, personal satisfaction, emotions, well-being<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tr\u00e4umen und Gesundheitsf\u00f6rderung: Theoretische \u00dcberlegungen und einige epidemiologische Feststellungen: Neurophysiologische und psychologische Beobachtungen st\u00fctzen die Annahme, dass sich emotional bedeutsame Themen und das emotionale Gleichgewicht in Tr\u00e4umen widerspiegeln. Immer zahlreichere Beweise belegen auch die Ansicht, der zufolge Tr\u00e4ume in der Regelung des Gef\u00fchlslebens eine Rolle spielen, indem sie narrative Strukturen schaffen, emotionale Bedeutung tragende Elemente unseres Bestandes an Erinnerungen um neue Assoziationen bereichern und die emotionalen Spannungen des auf den Traum folgenden Wachzustandes mindern oder ausgleichen. Bedenkt man, dass der Begriff Gesundheit den Zustand k\u00f6rperlich-seelischen und sozialen Wohlbefindens bedeutet, so ist die Annahme nicht unbegr\u00fcndet, der zufolge dieses Wohlbefinden sich in den Eigenschaften des Traumes widerspiegelt. Diese theoretischen \u00dcberlegungen werden auch von der vorl\u00e4ufigen Analyse der Daten des Gesundheitspanels der Umfrage Hungarostudy gest\u00fctzt, bei der wir auf bedeutende Beziehungen zwischen Traum- und Gesundheitsparametern stie\u00dfen. Unsere Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass der emotionale Gehalt des Tr\u00e4umens mit der Selbsteinsch\u00e4tzung des Gesundheitszustandes, der Zahl der Fehltage wegen Krankheit und dem subjektiven Wohlbefinden im Zusammenhang steht. Negative Gef\u00fchle w\u00e4hrend des Tr\u00e4umens korrelieren mit Krankheit, positive mit Gesundheit. Letztere Zusammenh\u00e4nge k\u00f6nnen nur zum Teil mit krankheitsbedingten Belastungen, der direkten Wirkung von Tr\u00e4umen auf die Tagesstimmung oder die allgemeinen Zusammenh\u00e4nge des Tr\u00e4umens erkl\u00e4rt werden. Unsere Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass einfache Fragen nach der emotionalen T\u00f6nung der Tr\u00e4ume, nach Albtr\u00e4umen und wiederkehrenden Albtr\u00e4umen Aufschluss \u00fcber das allgemeine k\u00f6rperlich-seelisch-soziale Wohlbefinden der Person und somit \u00fcber ihre Gesundheit geben kann.<\/p>\n<p>Schl\u00fcsselbegriffe: Tr\u00e4umen, Albtr\u00e4ume, REM-Schlaf, Gesundheit, pers\u00f6nliche Zufriedenheit, Gef\u00fchle, Wohlbefinden<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"pagenavbar\">\n<div>Prev &#8211; <a href=\"\/publications\/2-articlesinprofessionaljournals\/6-dreaming-and-health-promotion-a-theoretical-proposal-and-some-epidemiological-establishment.html?start=1\">Next &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p> <span class=\"article_separator\"> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Index <a href=\"\/publications\/2-articlesinprofessionaljournals\/6-dreaming-and-health-promotion-a-theoretical-proposal-and-some-epidemiological-establishment.html\" class=\"toclink active\">B\u00f3dizs R*, Simor P, Cs\u00f3ka Sz, B\u00e9rdi M, Kopp MS : Dreaming and health promotion: A theoretical proposal and some epidemiological establishments.
