Abstract
Ninety-one undergraduate students were asked to describe recurrent dreams experienced in childhood and recurrent dreams of recent years. A content analysis indicated that the dreams reported from childhood were more likely to be threatening. The dreams from childhood more often included a threatening agent which pursued or menaced the dreamer or other characters in the dream. The threatening agents were most frequently folkloric or fictional characters such as monsters or witches. Such folkloric characters were absent in the sample of recent recurring dreams.
