Research studies are needed to prove that dreams can be used as markers of prognosis. Some studies have been conducted in this regard but we cannot make strong conclusion on basis of their results. In a few studies it has been shown that hormone levels affect dreams. One of the studies states that cortisol plays an important role in controlling the state of memory systems during sleep. High levels of cortisol, as are observed late at night and, typically in the context of REM sleep, disrupt normal hippocampal → neocortical communication, thereby interfering with forms of memory consolidation dependent upon this communication. At the same time, the content of dreams is also affected.[5] In neurological and psychological diseases dream disturbances are often seen but few other diseases have also been found to affect dreams. Patients with sleep apnea are reported to have intense nightmares. [6] Abnormal dreams have also been reported in diseases like Relapsing fever,[7] Cardiac ischemia[8] etc. Certain drugs also affect dreams e.g. Anti malarial drug has shown to alter dream types.[9] This proves that at times diseases certainly affect dreams but intense research studies are needed to actually establish this fact on scientific grounds.
