Lucid dreaming, the state of being aware that one is dreaming while still in the dream state, has been found to have positive associations with subjective sleep quality, mental well-being, and a reduced sense of loneliness, according to a recent study published in Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice.

This has prompted me to look into this topic.”

A comprehensive literature review published in Frontiers in Neuroscience in 2020 underscores Stumbrys’ comments and highlights the need for more research on lucid dreaming risks. 

“It seems that we may be cultivating a shared blind spot by focusing solely on the possible beneficial effects of LD induction, without taking into account possible risks,” Dr. Nirit Soffer-Dudek, the head of clinical psychology at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel wrote. 

To explore the topic, Stumbrys conducted an online survey with 489 participants from various countries, primarily the United States. The participants completed a questionnaire that assessed their dream-related experiences, sleep quality, dissociation, and mental well-being.

To gain insights into the participants’ dream-related experiences, they were asked about the…
