The manifest dream content of psychiatric in-patients who had been admitted because of suicidal attempts was compared with three in-patient control groups, patients who had been admitted for: a) depression and suicidal ideation without attempt; b) depression with no suicidal ideation and; c) commission of a violent act without suicidality. Standardized tests of dream content were used as well as the Beck scale for depression and certain subscales of the MMPI. The results confirmed that both suicidal and violent patients have more death content and destructive violence in their dreams, but that this was a function of the severity of depression and certain character traits such as impulsivity rather than being specific to the behaviour itself. The dream content is continuous with, and probably reflects, the waking state in the case of the depressives. On the other hand some of the findings require a more complex dynamic explanation lending some support to the idea that the dream may have an adaptive function.
