Abstract
A theoretical analysis of the features of dreams in people who have suffered a stroke is presented in the article. The content of dreams may indicate the presence of somatic abnormalities, but in a distorted, symbolic form. In stroke, sleep disorders are a negative predictor of the effectiveness of the rehabilitation stage. The results of empirical study of the characteristics of dreams in stroke patients (10 men, 10 women aged 21 to 65, average age-47.2) and in conditionally healthy people (7 men, 13 women aged 28 to 56, average age - 46.6) showed that the quality of sleep is worse in the group with somatic disorders in comparison with conditionally healthy people, and it also revealed differences in the content of dreams. In the dreams of people with somatic disorders, the desire to change their physical or mental state is manifested.
