Electroencephalography (EEG) studies of dreaming are an integral paradigm in the study of neurocognitive processes of human sleep and consciousness, but they are limited by the number of observations that can be collected per study. Dream studies also involve substantial methodological and conceptual variability which poses problems for the integration of results. To address these issues, we present the DREAM database—an expanding collection of standardized datasets on human sleep EEG combined with dream report data—with an initial release of 18 datasets, totaling 2331 data points. Each datum consists, at minimum, of sleep electroencephalography (≥20 s, ≥100 Hz, ≥2 electrodes) up to the time of waking and a standardized dream report classification of the subject’s reported sleep experience. This database will provide access to a larger pool of data than any single research group can collect and increase the statistical power of studies focusing on the neural correlates of dreaming. It will also provide useful criteria for methodological choices in future dream laboratory research projects.
