Emotional arousal change for negative and neutral pictures for Dream-Recallers and Non-Dream-Recallers. Dream-Recallers showed a significant decrease in arousal for negative pictures compared to non-Dream-Recallers (t120 = 2.40, p < 0.02), but no difference for neutral pictures (t120 = 0.10, p = 0.92). Dream-Recallers also showed a significant decrease in arousal for negative compared to neutral pictures (t50 = − 2.91, p < 0.005), a pattern no shown in Non-Dream-Recallers (t70 = − 0.34, p = 0.73).
