Dream-related survey findings from two research projects, each with a random postal survey component and a web-based administration of the questionnaire. The first project was an effort to explore the connection of depersonalization and satisfication with life and the out-of-body experience. The second project explored absorption, adult memories of childhood imaginary companions, life satisfaction and exceptional experiences in general. All four studies contained a series of questions on dream recall, type of dreams and frequency of dreaming.

ideational resources to a unified
representation of the attentional object”
(Tellegen & Atkinson, 1974, p. 274).
Imaginary companions: “an invisible
character, named and referred to in
conversation with other persons or played
with directly for a period of time, at least
several months, having an air of reality for
the child but no apparent objective basis”

◦ Mystical experiences
◦ Eidetic imagery
◦ Synesthesia
◦ Self-reported parapsychological
experiences (e.g., OBEs, aura
vision, apparition experiences, etc.)
4. Experiencing Imaginary Companions
has been related to:
◦ Absorption in general
◦ Attentional focusing (a facet of absorption)
◦ Hypnotizability
◦ Creativity
◦ Imagery and daydreaming
◦ Dissociation
◦ Hallucinations
6. Tellegen’s Absorption Scale (TAS)

may forget about myself and my

as if it were real and as if I were taking
part in it.
If I wish I can imagine that my body is
so heavy that I could not move it if I
wanted to.
9. In most ways my life is close to my ideal.
The conditions of my life are excellent.
I am satisfied with life.
So far I have gotten the important things I
