210 EEG Stage 1 rapid eye movement period (REMP) awakenings were made during 40 nights of sleep to study the relationship between variations in dream reports and hypothesized correlates of such variations. Data analysis was done on an intra-individual basis with significance level being determined by the combined results of all 4 Ss. Non-contemporaneousness of temporal reference of manifest dream content, goodness of recall for dream content, vividness of dream experience, and emotionality of dream experience were positively related to cumulative amount of prior time spent in bed (time in bed) and were negatively related to body temperature. Time in bed and body temperature were not significantly related to each other.
