Lucid Dreaming Experience in the Context of Meditation Experience
Психолог May 1, 2022 Sergei Vladimirovich Kukharenko
This theoretical paper explores the connection between experiences gained in lucid dreams and those gained during meditation, specifically the state of awareness (Pali-sati). The author reviews literature by lucid dream researchers and meditation scholars, then presents survey results indicating that a significant portion of lucid dreaming practitioners also practice mindfulness meditation. The main conclusion is that experiences during lucid dreams resemble those gained in a meditative state. The findings may be useful for psychologists and lucid dreaming practitioners.
