Of 100 Czechoslovak refugees (82 men, 18 women, living in Switzerland) interviewed about their dreams, 56% reported nightmares in which they were again in their home country, wishing to or attempting to escape. These nightmares were reported less frequently by older white collar professionals with previous experience of life abroad than by younger blue collar workers without past experience of life outside their native country.
