Lucid dream induction using three different cognitive methods
Lucid dreaming is a rare phenomenon, therefore different induction techniques are used to increase the lucid dream frequency. In the present study three cognitive methods were tested: Dream diary, Wake up back to Bed, and reality testing/reflection. Altogether, 110 participants completed the three week study protocol. The present findings showed that although the overall effects were not significant, slight increases in lucid dream frequency due to the cognitive techniques (Wake up back to Bed, reality testing/reflection) were measured. Future studies should extend the study interval, increase participants' motivation and dream recall and lucidity should be measured every morning.
