Emotional valence change for negative and neutral pictures for Dream-Recallers and Non-Dream-Recallers. Dream-Recallers showed a significant decrease in valence for negative pictures compared to non-Dream-Recallers (t120 = 2.50, p = 0.01), but no difference for neutral pictures (t120 = 0.43, p = 0.67). Both Dream-Recallers (t50 = − 4.85, p < 0.001) and Non-Dream-Recallers (t70 = − 3.52, p < 0.001) also showed greater decreases in valence for negative compared to neutral pictures.
