Some trivia about book readers

Reading a trivia book--Do Giraffes Sleep Standing Up?--by Jon Wilman.

"Researchers...in Wales...studied 10,000 responses from library goers..."

Summarizing the findings:
1)Fiction readers reported stranger dreams than non fiction readers
2) Fantasy readers reported the most nightmares
3) Romance readers have dreams with great emotional intensity

NOw, I am curious. Which came first? Does what you read affect your dreams--or does the type of dream you usually have affect what you select to read?

Can't vouch for the accuracy as I only read this trivia tidbit, but an interesting lille bit of info ,nonetheless.

That's interesting, Mary. I've never noticed a connection between what I dream and what I read.
In fact, I hardly ever remember what I've dreamed about.

Well, it was reportedly the first major study. But I am interested in things like how people differ and learn and remember and so on.

There are occasions where i wish I could not recall my dreams.
