Abstract
This project introduces the Consciousness States Comparison Scale: REM Version (CSCS-REM), a self-report instrument developed to assess phenomenological dimensions of consciousness during REM sleep in direct comparison with waking consciousness. The purpose of the scale is to provide a standardized and psychometrically validated tool that allows for systematic evaluation of relative differences in conscious experience across these two states, thereby supporting empirical research on the continuity and discontinuity of consciousness.
