Kinesthetic Imagery as a Quality of Lucid Awareness:Descriptive and Experimental Case Studies

Abstract

This is a revision of the paper presented at the lucidity symposium. It contains numerous conceptual clarifications and a discussion of some results collected subsequent to the symposium. Throughout this symposium there has been substantial agreement that lucid dreaming can be defined as ‘an awareness of dreaming while dreaming’. This definition may be adequate in a general sense, but to facilitate research into specific questions about lucid dream formation, a more specific statement is required.
