Scientific Abstract:

A questionnaire was administered to 142 individuals to determine whether they shared their dreams with others, who they shared their dreams with, why they shared their dreams, and in what social contexts dreams were shared. Respondents were also asked some questions about remembering and sharing dreams, details of dreams, regular sleep, who they shared their dreams with, the purpose of sharing dreams, feelings after awakening, attitude toward dreams, creativity and problem-solving after sharing dreams, lies about dreams, and other people’s views toward dream sharing. The sampling was performed in two stages. A total of 142 individuals were selected for the preliminary administration of questionnaires to calculate Cronbach’s alpha, and 12 individuals were selected for the panel group to validate the instrument. The content validity index and content validity ratio values were acceptable for most items, except for two, which were replaced with others. The value of Cronbach’s alpha was higher than 0.7 for all questions, indicating their acceptance. The findings of the current investigation suggest that this questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for target populations in further studies.
