We had 152 volunteers complete a task during a lucid dream in which they needed to imagine that the space around them was real. Then they needed to check how the quality of perceptions changed. Of the participants, 51% achieved increased vividness; for 23% of them, their perceptions exceeded the vividness of wakefulness. The results of this research might lead to a better understanding of the nature of subjective perceptions in lucid dreams, which, in turn, might help in researching this phenomenon and its application.</p> ER -
