How to translate this ストレスの多い人 **ほど** よく夢を見る ? Could someone give me full
translation of this whole question ?

I currently understand that ほど in this context is used to show an extent but I
can't translate and understand it anyway.

I've seen this kind of usage. For example, やらなければならない仕事が山ほどある(I have works too
much and it feels like a mountain), I think I can understand this because
there's が indicating what feels like a mountain(works).

But in the sentence I gave, there's no subject mentioned (I think it's omitted
but I don't know what's it) "ストレスの多い人はストレスの多い人ほど良く夢を見る" is what I think to be
the full sentence but it sounds really weird. Another assumption is
"ストレスの多い人になるほど良く夢を見る"

I don't know if the following picture is relevant or not. But it's reading
comprehension that this question according to.
