Abstract
To replicate an earlier study in which Chicanos reported having more dreams of death than did their Anglo counterparts, we solicited dream reports from eighty Chicanos (forty males and forty females) and eighty Anglos (forty males and forty females). The dreams were scored for the presence of death-related dream content. Chi-square tests revealed a statistically higher number of Chicano females reporting dreams of death (p < .005), but the significance between Chicano males and Anglo males was not significant. The results were linked to the greater phenomenological emphasis on death in Chicano culture and the greater tendency for Chicano women to carry the influences of the culture.
