Summary:
- People with synesthesia, a condition where the senses are blended (e.g., seeing colors when hearing sounds), tend to have distinct thematic patterns in their dreams compared to those without synesthesia.
- Synesthetes often experience their synesthetic associations (e.g., hearing a certain sound and seeing a specific color) in their dreams, suggesting that the neural mechanisms underlying synesthesia may also influence dream experiences.
- The study found that synesthetes reported more vivid, emotional, and bizarre dreams, highlighting the unique perceptual and cognitive experiences of individuals with synesthesia.
