AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF LUCID
DREAMERS IN AUSTRIA
Lucid dreaming is met
with a growing interest. Therefore we were able to add a question for
assessing lucid dreamers in an epidemiological survey about Sleep Behavior
and Quality of Life in Austria. Lucid dreams is defined as the awareness
of the dream state while dreaming and the ability to act voluntarily in
this dream (Gackenbach, LaBerge; 1988). The Austrian Sleep
Research Association (ASRA) carried out an epidemiological survey of the
Sleep Behavior of the Austrian population correlated with the subjective
estimate of Quality of Life and the assessment of Lucid Dreaming. A
representative population of 1046 people, aged over 15, was taken by
random sampling. Data of 1039 contributed to the data set described below.
The goal of this
presentation, is to report and discuss the Sleep Habits and the subjective
reports of Quality of Life of Lucid
Dreamers in Austria. |
