    Main Results:

    • A global score from the Dream Questionnaire positively correlated with hypnotic susceptibility in women.
    • Men's responses to the questionnaire differed, necessitating further data collection for analysis.
    • Sex differences were observed in questionnaire responses.

    Conclusions:

    • The Dream Questionnaire appears to be a valid measure for assessing dream characteristics related to hypnosis.
    • Dreaming patterns are significantly associated with hypnotic susceptibility, particularly in women.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship in men and explore connections between sleep and hypnosis.
