Understanding what babies dream of seeing their facial expressions is a difficult but definitely can reveal the basic emotions: joy, sadness, fear, surprise, anger and disgust. The dream world becomes accessible to children from 3 years of age, when children are able to tell their dreams.
David Foulkes, a psychologist who has worked in the sleep laboratory at the University of Wyoming and the Georgia Mental Health Institute in Atlanta, since 1982 has conducted several studies on individuals under 15 years old, showing that up to 6 years, especially dream animals. The scenes are fantastic and rarely affect them personally. The images are almost static, simple, and most of the actions described are sleeping and eating.
"The scenes follow one another without a plot and actors interact without being the real protagonists of the stories," writes William Domhoff, a psychologist at the University of California at Santa Cruz. "At this age there are gender differences: the dreams of boys and girls are similar, they differ only at the end of adolescence."
Growing up, children were the focus of their dreams that are less surreal. The girls have fun conversations with friends. The boys dream of football matches, sporting events, battles.
Inge Strauch, professor of clinical psychology at the University Zurich, has collected 550 dreams interviewed at intervals of 2 years, 12 males and 12 females between 9 and 15 years. Compared with the dreams of adults have found that young people dream less misery and misfortune.
