A Spanish version of the Lucidity and Consciousness in Dreams scale (LuCiD) was validated in 367 Spanish adults, 40.3% of whom had meditation experience. The scale’s original eight-factor structure (insight, control, thought, realism, memory, dissociation, negative emotion, positive emotion) was confirmed, with adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability after removing one poorly performing item. Meditators scored higher on the insight and dissociation factors than non-meditators. The mindfulness facet of observing was positively linked to most LuCiD factors, while acting with awareness correlated negatively with realism. Positive and negative affect corresponded to the respective LuCiD emotion factors. The scale provides a reliable tool for measuring dream lucidity and consciousness in Spanish populations, and the results suggest connections between meditation experience, mindfulness traits, and dream characteristics.

Deconstructing the Self: Type of Meditation and Frequency of Practice Thresholds Associated with a Deconstructed Self

April 20, 2026 Jaime Navarrete, Adrián Pérez‐aranda, Daniel Campos et al. preprint

Spanish versions of three psychological scales—the Quiet Ego Scale (QES), the Nondual Awareness Dimensional Assessment (NADA), and the Ontological Addiction Scale (OAS‑24)—showed good reliability and validity in a sample of 242 Spanish adults. The QES and NADA fit a bifactor structure, while the OAS‑24 fit a one-factor structure. Scores were comparable across genders and meditation experience. Women scored higher on the QES, but no gender differences appeared for the NADA or OAS‑24. Meditators reported higher QES and NADA scores and lower OAS‑24 scores than non-meditators. Low-ego individuals were more likely to meditate and had accumulated more lifetime practice. An optimal threshold of 376 lifetime meditation hours discriminated low- from high-ego profiles.
