Material and Methods: consecutive outpatients were evaluated at T0 (within 3 weeks after surgery) and T1 (4\u20136 months after surgery) as follows: demographic and clinical data collection; the Groningen Questionnaire Problems after Arm Amputation; the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory; the Body Image Concern Inventory, a clinical trial to identify telescoping; and a weekly diary of dreams. Dream contents were coded according to the Hall and Van de Castle coding system. Results: Twenty patients completed the study (15 males and 5 females, mean age: 53.9 \u00b1 24.6, education: 7.8 \u00b1 3.4). All subjects experienced phantom limb and 35% of them experienced telescoping soon after surgery, and 25% still after 4\u20136 months. Both at T0 and T1, that half of the subjects reported dreams about still having their missing limbs. At T1 the patients\u2019 perceptions of being able to deal with problems were lower, and pain and its interference in everyday life were higher yet associated with significant engagement in everyday activities and an overall good mood. The dream content analysis highlighted that males were less worried about health problems soon after amputation, and women showed more initial difficulties that seemed to be resolved after 4\u20136 months after surgery. Conclusions: The dream content analysis may improve clinicians\u2019 ability to support their patients during their therapeutic course.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci11121625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,9]],"date-time":"2021-12-09T21:52:32Z","timestamp":1639086752000},"page":"1625","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Body Schema Self-Awareness and Related Dream Content Modifications in Amputees Due to Cancer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6394-6210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandra","family":"Giordano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Medicina del Sonno, Dipartimento di Neuroscienze, Universit\u00e0 di Torino, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Boffano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SC Chirurgia Oncologica Ortopedica, AOU Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, Presidio CTO, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raimondo","family":"Piana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SC Chirurgia Oncologica Ortopedica, AOU Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, Presidio CTO, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Mutani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Medicina del Sonno, Dipartimento di Neuroscienze, Universit\u00e0 di Torino, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Cicolin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Medicina del Sonno, Dipartimento di Neuroscienze, Universit\u00e0 di Torino, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"334","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-384925-0.00054-7","article-title":"Cognitive-behavioral perspectives on body image","volume":"Volume 1","author":"Cash","year":"2012","journal-title":"Encyclopedia of Body Image and Human Appearance"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Cash, T.F., and Smolak, L.
