Whereas lucid dreaming has been studied in adults, large-scaled surveys in children are scarce. The sample here included 3579 children for the ages from 6 to 18 who completed a brief questionnaire distributed in UK libraries. 43.5% reported having had at least one lucid dream. As hypothesized, incidence of lucid dreams was most strongly associated with the preference for reading fantasy/science-fiction. Whether lucid dreaming might be beneficial for children in skills training or coping with nightmares are interesting topics for future research.}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Dream Research}, author={Schredl, Michael and Henley-Einion, Josie and Blagrove, Mark}, year={2012}, month={Apr.}, pages={94–98} }
