ABSTRACT The effects of stress on the affective content of dreams and on rapid‐eye‐movement (REM) period eye‐movement activity and respiration were studied. The experiment was also designed to examine the similarity between walking and sleeping states in the respiratory correlates of emotion. Sleep records and dream reports were collected following the viewing of stress and neutral films. The stress films significantly increased dream anxiety and also increased REM‐period respiratory irregularity among those Ss who, in the walking state, showed irregular breath patterns in response to stressful film scenes. Some evidence was also found that dream affect is related to RFM‐period respiratory irregularity among the Ss who are walking responders. These data are interpreted as supporting the hypothesized congruence between the waking und dream states in The relationship between affect and breathing irregularity.
