Abstract Abstract: The study on “The Relation between the CBT and Characters in the Dream Content of the Depressed People” investigates the influence of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) on the characters present in the dream content of individuals diagnosed with depression, examining variations across gender and educational levels. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research integrates both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Purposive and random sampling techniques were utilized, involving 120 participants diagnosed with depression. Participants were divided equally into experimental (n=60) and control (n=60) groups, with both male and female representation. The findings indicate a significant relationship between CBT and a reduction in the presence of unrecognizable persons and images in the dreams of participants. Furthermore, the study revealed no significant differences in the impact of CBT on dream characters based on gender or educational level within the experimental group. Post-CBT, participants experienced a decrease in the number of dream characters, with enhanced clarity in recognizing individuals and images. Additionally, there was a notable reduction in dreams involving themes of death, alongside an absence of suicidal thoughts.
