ABSTRACT:
The present study reports frequency and predictors of dreaming about athletic competition and dreaming about successful competition in two survey samples (N=210 and N=446) of Masters track and field athletes. Slightly fewer than half the athletes in each sample report dreaming about athletic competition (41.8 percent and 45.3 percent). Younger Masters, those who competed in high school or college, those who keep a training diary or have high weekly training mileage or marathon experience, and those who practice visualization and other forms of mental preparation are more likely to report dreaming about competition. Most athletes indicate that their dreams depict success (92.5 percent and 88.0 percent), with men and those practicing mental preparation more likely to report dreams of success. Those who dream about competition, particularly those who dream of success, tend to report faster personal best times for some events. The results are consistent with previous findings indicating that dreams involve the dreamer's waking feelings and concerns. They also suggest that dreams may serve as visualizations or self statements.
