Women Have Nightmares, Men Dream of Sex (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090129/sc_livescience/womenhavenightmaresmendreamofsex.)
Women have more nightmares than men, a British researcher says, but men are more likely to dream about sex.
Psychologist Jennie Parker of the University of the West of England asked 100 women and 93 men between the ages of 18 and 25 to fill out dream diaries, priming participants before dreams occurred to record them. The research was part of her doctoral dissertation.
"My most significant finding is that women in general do experience more nightmares than men," she said. "An early study into dreams led to my discovering that normative research procedures into dream research often considered the structure of dreams, but that there is a gaping hole in terms of academic study that investigates emotional significance in the analysis of dreams."
Women's nightmares can be broadly divided into three categories: fearful dreams (being chased or life threatened), losing a loved one or confused dreams, Parker said.

Men's dreams contained more references to sexual activity, Parker said, and men reported more actual intercourse, while women reported more kissing and sexual fantasies about other dream characters.
Women's dreams also were found to contain more family members, more negative emotion, more indoor settings and less physical aggression than men's dreams, Parker said.
Men made more references to attacks, or serious threat, but reported fewer verbally aggressive or covert acts of aggression. Men's and women's friendly behavior in dreams was the same; most often they reported helping other dream characters.

And Jennie got paid by someone to make this finding. Amazing.

Funny,a lady having the exact same dream as I am with her yet the title of the article is still the same.
Whats up with that?

It's in the gearing. Women are geared towards security, men towards freedom. It's why there's a better chance of a liberal single woman voting for a Democrat, for security, and a married woman voting Republican, because she has her husband for security.

Wouldn't a dream about sex with some women be considered a nightmare?
