These variables, which we identified through an analysis of the scientific literature, can be divided into the following categories: (i) sleep disturbances; (ii) dissociative symptoms; (iii) negative dream content; (iv) cognitive disturbances; and (v) thin boundaries.

The theoretical analysis on the basis of these findings suggests that people who suffer from BPD may be more susceptible to confusing dream content with actual waking events. Psychos.
The present theoretical analysis addresses the question of whether individuals with certain features of BPD may have difficulty distinguishing between dreams and reality. doi: 10.1007/s11920-013-0434-438, Waldo, T. G., and Merritt, R. D. (2000). The intensity of BPD symptoms is positively correlated with the frequency of nightmares (Semiz et al., 2008). The quantitative analysis of a group of 27 individuals diagnosed with BPD and a non-clinical group of 20 individuals showed that the BPD group had dreams with more negative affect than those in the non-clinical group.

"But there's very little research on this idea of confusing dreams versus reality."
As boundaries are generally stable across situations, there is a high probability that individuals with thin boundaries in certain areas will have thin boundaries in other areas (Hartmann, 2011). Read This Next: The Science Behind Your Very Worst Dreams.

The ECM attempts to explain the etiology of bad dreams experienced in the course of BPD. This hypothesis is supported by the underlying assumption that there are groups of interrelated variables that are present in both DRC and BPD. What is important is that problems with reality testing may occur in patients with BPD (Fiqueierdo, 2006). Although, only few studies on DRC in non-clinical populations have been conducted (e.g., Johnson et al., 1984; Mazzoni and Loftus, 1996; Rassin et al., 2001; Kemp et al., 2003), DRC has been investigated in specific groups, including narcolepsy patients (Wamsley et al., 2014).
