ABSTRACT
A frequency distribution helps to organize and summarize data. It is a statistical table that shows the number of cases (or frequency of cases) that obtained each score. Typically, the scores are listed in order (like low to high) in the first column, and the numbers of cases are listed in the second column. In addition, the percentage of cases with each score is often also provided as part of a frequency table. Previous studies indicated that various dream topics were reported by a relatively large portion of the sample. These so-called "typical dream themes" could be defined as dreams with similar contents reported by a high percentage of the people. Nielsen et al. developed the Typical Dream Questionnaire (TDQ) that, in the latest version, encompasses 56 dream items. Overall, 2,015 women and 878 men participated in the study. The participants were instructed to report their last recent dream in a way as detailed as possible.
