Experimentation With the Vortex Phenomenon in Lucid Dreams

Abstract

The “vortex phenomenon” is an experience in which there is the sensation of whirling through a vortex. The visual component of the phenomenon (i. e. the vortex) is an adaption of Kluver’s geometric constants (Kluver, 1966) with the added characteristic of intricate dreamer involvement. Two of these in this study due to their special assessability in becoming a vortex. The commonly reported “tunnel experience” I feel is a sub—section of the fully developed vortex.
