A group of Australian researchers is investigating whether faith and spirituality influences how people dream, and whether people who are religious are less likely to have nightmares and dreams about death.Led by the University of Western Australia (UWA), the study will also investigate whether bad dreams lead to residual feelings of anxiety during the day.Lead researcher Ian Dunican, an adjunct senior research fellow at UWA's Centre for Sleep Science, said the research question was partly a response to Australia's declining connection with religion.
