The experimenters were Valdas Noreika, Mila Oravecz and Lisa Svartsjö. The project was supervised by Katja Valli and Antti Revonsuo. Technical help was provided by Levente Móró.The experiment is described by Wong et al. (2020) as follows:Fifteen Finnish-speaking volunteers were recruited to the study from a larger pool of candidates. They were screened to have no issues with psychological and neurological health, take no central-nervous-system-affecting drugs, or have any sleep disorders at the time of the study. Their handedness was tested by means of the Edinburgh Handedness Questionnaire (Oldfield 1971).Participants spent one adaptation night in the sleep laboratory, in which the researchers aimed to assess the participants' sleep latency and ability to give clear dream reports, as well as to familiarize them with sleep laboratory environment. Five participants were excluded following adaptation nights due to sleeping difficulties in the laboratory, unclear dream reports upon awakening from NREM sleep, and/or sleep EEG artefacts due to sweating. The remaining 10 participants spent four experimental nights in the laboratory, for which each participant was compensated with 100 euros in total.Dream reports and PSGs were collected during the first 3–4 h of sleep following an early night serial-awakening (ENSA) paradigm (Noreika et al. 2009). Refer to Supplementary Material S1 in Wong et al. (2020) for our sleep data collection procedures and methods, Supplementary Material S2 in Wong et al. (2020) for the interview procedure and Supplementary Material S3 in Wong et al. (2020) for transcribed exemplar dream reports.<br>### DREAM categorization procedure ###All collected dream reports were divided by two blind raters (Master students in psychology) into four categories following Dement (1955): (i) dreamless sleep, (ii) white dream (i.e. the participant strongly felt they had had some experiences right before awakening, but could not recall any specific content), (iii) uncertain (between dreamless sleep and white dreaming) and (iv) dreamful (see Supplementary Material S1 in Wong et al. (2020) for details).Dream reports were also content analysed by the same two blind raters (Master students in psychology) using Orlinksy's Modified Scale for Perceptual Complexity of Dreams (see Table 1 in Noreika et al., 2009), with higher scores indicating more complex dreams (see Data/Reports).These categories were translated into DREAM experience report categories as follows:- Dreamless sleep -&gt; No experience- White dream -&gt; Experience without recall- Uncertain -&gt; No experience or Experience without recall, combined- Dreamful -&gt; Experience<br>Technical details-----------------PSG included 25-channel EEG, 2-channel EOG (E1 and E1) and 2-channel EMG (M1 and SM-M2).<br>### Data acquisition ###N/A<br>### Data preprocessing ###N/A
