Examining the triggers of lucid insight.

Abstract: Approximately half the population have experienced a lucid dream. Yet, it is not well understood how an individual realises they are dreaming (i.e. lucid insight). A few studies suggest it can be triggered by a nightmare, or by the identification of inconsistencies/dream-like qualities/peculiarities. The present study aimed to produce a detailed typology of lucidity triggers to inform consideration of the nature of associated thought processes. 91 lucid dreamers were identified in an undergraduate sample of 14… Show more

“…We described these stages as a linear process, though the temporal relationship between dream awareness (i.e. lucidity) and control is not clear [ 74 ]. Another simplification in our model is that we treated lucidity, control, and emotion all as binary, when they more likely fall along a continuum [ 1 ].…”

“…In summary, our model proposes at least two critical checkpoints -induction success and degree of dream control -that lie between an induction attempt and its potential waking benefit. We described these stages as a linear process, though the temporal relationship between dream awareness (i.e., lucidity) and control is not clear [74]. Another simplification in our model is that we treated lucidity, control, and emotion all as binary, when they more likely fall along a continuum [1].…”

“…How does one come to recognize the dream state in real time? A leading hypothesis is that lucid dreams occur when higher-order cognition leads to the realization that certain dream elements are not consistent with waking life (Adams & Bourke, 2020). Higher-order cognition in this context encompasses components such as cognitive control, and perhaps metacognitive to mindfulness, probably associated with prefrontal cortical activity (Friedman & Robbins, 2022).…”
