Individual traits and experiences predict the content of dreams — public main-study data (2026) · derivatives/dataset1_dream_table_v20240430.mat, MATLAB table row 497 (one-based), field txt_cleaned; MCOS string index 496

Ero seduto a bordo piscina, una piscina di quelle classiche con le corsie, con le gambe dal ginocchio in giù dentro l'acqua. E nulla, praticamente io ero lì seduto con altre persone che conoscevo, ci parlavo e guardavamo le persone che nuotavano nelle corsie. A un certo punto mi accorgo che una bella serpe è dentro l'acqua che nuota. All'inizio ci passa davanti, senza guardarci, senza considerarci. Passa oltre. Io a quel punto cerco di dare l'allarme alle persone che sono dentro: "Attenzione c'è un serpente! C'è un serpente! C'è un serpente!". E il serpente alza tipo la testa, si gira verso di me e inizia a nuotare, puntandomi verso di me. La sensazione è di non poter levare le gambe dall'acqua e questo serpente che nuota nell'acqua limpida e punta verso di me. Non mi raggiunge.
