The chapter begins with the text of a dream which includes themes of lucidity and control of the dream, told to us at an event at the University of California Los Angeles, and a painting of the dream and a commentary on its composition. Main content: The chapter describes how lucid dreams are a rare form of dream because the metacognition in them seems to be fragile and short-lived, and because...

During lucid dreaming, dreamers are aware of being in a dream and may consciously make decisions, execute actions, and manipulate the dream surroundings. This research explored the lucid dreaming experiences and influence on the waking life and sleep health in adolescent athletes and non-athletes. Findings indicate that lucid dreaming is not detrimental to sleep health. Further, it offers...

Les émotions sont un aspect marquant des rêves : elles pourraient jouer un rôle dans le maintien du bien être des individus en traitant les souvenirs négatifs et en préparant aux menaces à venir. Elles surviennent surtout lors des rêves de sommeil paradoxal (SP), qui comporte une paralysie musculaire, une activité EEG rapide et des mouvements oculaires rapides (MOR). Comprendre si ce rôle de...

Dream recall frequency and lucid dream frequency showed large inter-individual differences that are partly related to personality dimensions. However, as dream research is a small field, independent studies are necessary to build a solid empirical foundation. The present online survey included 1,537 participants (1150 women, 387 men) with a mean age of 35.1 ± 15.8 years. Whereas the...

Background: It is uncommon for dreamers to be aware of their dreaming status while being inside their own dream. Yet, it is possible to become mindful and conscious of the fact that one is dreaming. This fairly rare phenomenon is called lucid dreaming. Cognitive functions are preserved while sleeping, and in the case of trained and experienced lucid dreamers, this also permits them to manage...

The lack of standardized, efficient, and dependable lucid dream induction methods is one of the major barriers to studying the clinical and non-clinical applications of dream lucidity. Although the interest in therapeutic usage of lucid dreaming strategies in neuroscience of consciousness studies has increased in recent decades, many of the current induction approaches appear to not be...

Lucid dreaming is being conscious within one’s own dream. In recent years, dream lucidity has started to attract more attention not only from the broad neuroscience field but also from applied neurology, psychiatry, sports performance science, or art therapy areas. The aim of this research is to investigate and evaluate some of the therapeutic potentials of dream lucidity. The findings propose...

Lucid dreaming (LD) is a mental state in which we realize not being awake but are dreaming while asleep. It often involves vivid, perceptually intense dream images as well as peculiar kinesthetic sensations, such as flying, levitating, or out-of-body experiences. LD is in the cross-spotlight of cognitive neuroscience and sleep research as a particular case to study consciousness, cognition, and...

Lucid dreams, in which the dreamers are aware that they are dreaming, can be a source of spiritual and mystical experiences. This empirical study aimed to explore the relationship between lucid dreaming and spirituality, taking into account the role of mystical lucid dream experience, in an online sample of 471 respondents, 95% of whom had lucid dream experience and 65% were frequent lucid...

Dream lucidity, the awareness of consciousness in dreams, is linked to functions that support reality monitoring in differentiating between internally and externally generated memories. However, lucid dreams have been argued to result from thin reality-fantasy boundaries that lead to reality monitoring errors. To examine the relationship between dream lucidity and reality monitoring, we...
