An Exploration Into the Inductability of Greater Reflectiveness and “Lucidity” in Nocturnal Dream Reports

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the availability of “lucid dreaming” to a sample comprised of individuals with a wide variety of previous dream work experience. Defined as the experience of becoming aware that one is dreaming during the dream itself, lucid dreaming has been regarded as a potentially therapeutic experience which if inducible in counseling clients and self—directed dream students, could serve as a valuable therapeutic and growth tool.
