"Canned Daily" is a psychological flavor of the spiritual food column (dogs especially like).
Today we talk about a topic that is a bit unorthodox at first glance: What is in everyone's spring dreams?

This is undoubtedly a difficult question to ask - what is in your spring dreams?
I swear, I opened this paper with an academically curious heart and a trembling hand (how do you read a literature like reading pornhub?). A study published last year in Sexologies looked at 1612 dreams of 425 college students and counted the contents of their "wind and snow moon" spring dreams.
The story of "Wind and Snow Moon" and the eternal theme of human reproduction add up to almost what we call spring dreams. To a certain extent, spring dreams are a reflection of reality, so sexual activity often occurs in dreams, which is spring dreams. Spring dreams are very common, and in the movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" we can see His sexual fantasies about Marina from The Perspective of Reinaldo, and similar stories can be found in many other literary works.
Don't open your mouth and deny that Sanlian said that he had never had a spring dream.
Because the study found that 75% of people have had spring dreams. And this is still a relatively conservative data, because the topic is more sensitive, so many people may have something to hide in the process of investigation, and the dream is very easy to forget, and the fantasy experience that may be dreamed of in the middle of the night disappears in the brain at dawn.
Using German university students as a study, the study investigated the frequency, content and emotional tone of their spring dreams. 425 students (361 girls, 64 boys) provided 1612 dreams, of which about 6% were spring dreams, that is, dreams containing sexual fantasies.
The specific operation method was to ask these volunteers to write a diary about the dream for 14 consecutive days (this operation does seem a bit "dirty"), and asked them to write down the dream of last night as completely as possible, and let them rate the mood of the dream (positive/negative/neutral). In addition, they were asked to fill out the Big Five Personality Questionnaire. The findings of the study are as follows:
< h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > the content of the spring dream</h1>
From the perspective of frequency, the most important behavior in spring dreams is kissing (53.13%), followed by sexual intercourse (26.04%), while 18.75% of people only dream about the foreplay part (it is a pity to wake up before the main part), and 15.63% are even more unfortunate, they just dream of "proposing to have sex", and can't help but sigh for their thighs. In most spring dreams, dreamers are actively involved in sex (87.5%), of which 91.36% are actively involved in women, compared to only 66.67% of men.
Data analysis of Spring Dream content
Second, what is the difference between the spring dreams of boys and girls
1, boys have more spring dreams. The continuity hypothesis of dreams holds that the content of dreams depends largely on real-life topics. Boys have more sexual fantasies than girls when they are awake, and the same is true in dreams.
2, the object of girls' spring dreams is more acquaintances. Girls' spring dreams often come from their actual lives (such as ex-boyfriends or familiar male celebrities), while boys dream of strangers many times. Abusive sexual acts (e.g., rape) occur only in girls' dreams, while boys are rarely raped in their dreams.
3, the scene of the girl's spring dream is often indoors (such as the classroom or room), while the boy's spring dream scene is not limited by the venue (it seems to expose something...). ）。
4, boys have more initiative in spring dreams. They are more likely to determine the scene of love in spring dreams, and they are often the dominant players in this sex.
5. The emotional tone of boys' spring dreams is more positive. Compared to women, male spring dreams were rated as more neutral (40% for men and 28.4% for women) and positive dreams (40% for men and 37.04% for women), while women's dreams were rated as more negative (20% for men and 34.57% for women).
<h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > third, the relationship between certain traits and spring dreams</h1>
1, boys / people who have more sexual fantasies during the day will have more spring dreams. From an evolutionary point of view, this is very reasonable, in an intimate relationship (especially a sexual relationship), girls need to pay much more than boys, pregnancy, childbirth and support all require a lot of effort, so women must be cautious in sexual relations. The explanation for sexual fantasies is that the content of dreams is largely influenced by our real-life topics.
2, young people have more spring dreams. Depending on the secretion of some physiological hormones (such as testosterone), people with strong hormone secretion are prone to more sexual fantasies in both waking and dreaming.
3. Openness is positively correlated with the frequency of spring dreams. Openness here is a dimension in the big five personalities, high openness mainly refers to those who are curious, have a wide range of interests, and can accept different points of view, the higher the openness here, the higher the frequency of spring dreams.
4) The emotional tone of a person with high neuroticism and conscientiousness is more likely to be negative. It is not surprising that people with high neuroticism represent emotional instability and have more negative emotions, and it is reasonable to reflect the tone of the dream so that the spring dream becomes negative; people with a high sense of responsibility are less able to accept this unpredictable scene, and the sense of morality and superego makes them have more negative emotions about this scene.
