Sleep, Dreams, and Job Satisfaction

Intercorrelations between the KJP Dream Inventory, Stanford Sleepiness Scale, and the Brayfield-Rothe Job Satisfaction Questionnaire from a database of 56 graduate students gave small significant correlations between job satisfaction and age (.32), repetitive traumatic dreaming, (–.30), being chased in one's dreams (–.35), and sleepiness (–.30). Associations of employment status with sleepiness, dream discontent, and dreams of being famous were also evident. Results were discussed in terms of the hypothesized relationship between contentedness or discontentedness and their association with sleep, dreaming, and job satisfaction.
