Comparison of the prevalence of sensory dream experiences. In analyzing the prevalence of sensory dream experiences, vision emerged as the most frequent sensation compared to all other senses (p < 0.001). Audition followed as the second most prevalent sensation, surpassing touch, olfaction, and gustation (p < 0.001). Touch ranked third in prevalence, exceeding olfaction, and gustation (p < 0.001). Olfaction and gustation exhibited equally low rates of occurrence (p > 0.05). The mean report rate percentage was calculated in two steps: first, the percentage of dreams containing the sensory dream experience was calculated over all reports per participant, and then this percentage was averaged across all participants. Error bars represent standard deviation. *** = p < 0.001.
