STOP, THAT and One Hundred Other Sleep Scales

Abstract

The 12-item scale was designed to assess individual differences in four separate domains of dream experience: vividness, usefulness, recall, and importance (the degree to which dreams feel personally relevant). Developers intended the scale to function as a tool for “studying the consequences and correlates of dreams” [1] – a measure providing insight into the nature and function of personal differences in dreaming.
