Dreams Are Somewhat Racist

Kansas Wesleyan University psychologists, led by Steve Hoekstra, determined that people's dreams reflect the racial distribution of individuals they meet in real life. Likewise, we are more likely to dream about people we share a racial group with than others.

However, there are some instances in which that is not so, such as for example when a Black student goes to school at a predominately-White institution. In this scenario, it is more likely that the pupil will dream of Whites more than Blacks.

In a series of experiments conducted at KWU, researchers learned that test subjects tended to dream more about people of their own race, but also about whomever they'd seen that day.

If they hung out with people of other races, then they were more likely to dream about that race, LiveScience reports.
