Multidimensional Assessment of Dream and Transitional States: Psychometric Validation of the MDEI-40

This research direction focuses on the psychometric validation of the Multidimensional Dream Experience Inventory (MDEI-40), a 40-item instrument designed to characterize states of consciousness ranging from sleep-related dreams to hypnagogic, hypnopompic, and waking hallucinatory experiences. The study aims to establish the instrument's reliability and construct validity, while also investigating the specific hypothesis that dream-related pain may arise from either the integration of external nociceptive stimuli or purely central, endogenous generation.
