What we dream about at night is allegedly less connected to how comfortably we sleep, and more to do with our personalities and whether we are introverted or extroverted.
A study by Best Mattress Brand looked at the sleeping patterns and dreams that introverts and extroverts experience, and has attempted to place them into separate groups.
Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - which groups people as either introverts or extroverts - the company asked over 1000 Americans about their sleep to determine which dreams personality types experience the most.
Participants answered a series of questions about what goes through their heads at night and how they feel afterwards.
These questions asked how often they dreamed about their father, taking another life, travelling, flying, their friends, lovers and being naked and so on.
It also accounted for how alert and energised people felt when they were awake, how interested people were in interpreting their dreams, how lucid their dreams were and how frequently they had nightmares.
The study claims it was able to pinpoint 8 different personality types based on sleep and dreams.
They were as follows:
1. The Advocate
- Dream about being unable to move often
2. The Architect
- Dream about travelling the least
3. The Adventurer
- Dream about friends the least
4. The Mediator
- Has nightmares the most
- Interested in what their dreams mean
5. The Logician
- Dream about a crush or their partner the most
6. The Entrepreneur
- Dream about not wearing clothes in public the most
- Dream about talking to their crush the most
- Dream about flying the most
- Dream about the future the most
7. The Entertainer
- Falls asleep when they want to stay awake the most
- Dream about their crush or partner the most
8. The Debater
