Project Details
Description
Our first aim is to replicate our recent finding that a morning nap protocol utilizing brief pre-sleep training and audio/visual cues can induce lucidity in the laboratory.
Our second aim is to compare lucid dreams between participants for whom cues are associated with critical awareness (standard hyper-training) versus participants for whom cues are associated with both critical awareness and control (dream control hyper-training). We will measure both subjective lucid dream control and objectively verifiable bodily control using a fist-clenching task (see Methods).
Our third aim is to compare how hyper-training will affect infrequent vs. frequent lucid dreamers.
Hypothesis 1) Both standard and dream control hyper-training will yield high lucid dream induction rates.
Hypothesis 2) Dream control hyper-training participants will report more control over their lucid dreams and will demonstrate more objective evidence of lucid dream control (via muscle recordings of fist-clenching task) than standard hyper-training participants.
Hypothesis 3) Frequent lucid dreamers will have more control over their lucid dreams than infrequent lucid dreamers.
