To consider the relationships among Type A-B behavior, gender, and specific types of nightmares, 780 university undergraduates were tested with Glass' version of the Jenkins Activity Survey and the Spadafora and Hunt Dream Types Survey which included the critical nightmares (fantastic nightmares, posttraumatic nightmares, and night terrors). Relative to students classified as Type B, those classified as Type A were significantly more likely to report experiencing certain types of nightmares, i.e., fantastic and posttraumatic nightmares. We also observed that women reported significantly greater frequencies of all types of nightmares than men. Possible reasons for these differences were discussed.
