Psychological Content of "Consciousness" During Sleep in a TM Subject

Abstract

Gackenbach (in press) recently concluded a review of the research examining differences in content between lucid and nonlucid dreams. It covered two types of data, self-evaluations of the content by the dreamer, as well as content evaluations by independent judges. Both approaches were largely descriptive of the manifest level of content, although the self-evaluations involve some part of the latent content through the subjects need to describe their own experiences.
