Where does the number come from? What (learn) Dreams per day over the past 10 years (50-day moving average) 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 15

Where does the number come from? What (learn) - Cyclicality: week and year - Correla2ons - Momentum and iner2a - Goal-se_ng 16

Weekly cyclicality What (learn) Dreams per day of the week (as percentage of total dreams) 17.1% 16.7% 15.5% 13.7% 13.3% 13.0% 10.8% Mon Tue Wed Thu Sat Fri Sun 17

Yearly cyclicality Number of dreams per day of the year (30-day moving average, last 10 years) 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 01/01 16/01 31/01 15/02 01/03 16/03 31/03 15/04 30/04 15/05 30/05 14/06 29/06 14/07 29/07 13/08 28/08 12/09 27/09 12/10 What (learn) 27/10 11/11 26/11 11/12 18 26/12

Correla2ons What (learn) alcohol sport sex 12.3% -1.8% -2.0% 19

The more I sleep, the more I dream What (learn) Number of dreams per sleep hour brackets (variance to the mean) 10h-12h 34% 5% 9h-10h 2% 8h-9h -4% 7h-8h -23% 0h-7h 20

Beware iner2a What (learn) 22% more chance to have 0 dream at night if I had 0 dream the night before 21

Surf the momentum What (learn) 56% more chance to have 3 dreams at night or more if I had 3 dreams or more the night before 22

Surf the momentum What (learn) Running streaks (>=1 dream nights) and number of dreams (50-day moving average) 80 4 70 3.5 60 3 50 2.5 40 2 30 1.5 20 1 10 0.5 0 0 Jun-05 Dec-05 Jun-06 Dec-06 Jun-07 Dec-07 Jun-08 Dec-08 Jun-09 Dec-09 Jun-10 Dec-10 Jun-11 Dec-11 Jun-12 Dec-12 Jun-13 Dec-13 Jun-14 Dec-14 Jun-15 23
