Popis: Lucid dreaming occurs when a sleeping subject becomes aware of being in a dream, and, without waking up, maintains this awareness. This can then result in the conscious control of events or content of the dream. The present study found that high frequency lucid dreamers were significantly more internal on Rotter's Locus of Control scale than were subjects who frequently recalled ordinary but non-lucid, dreams. There were no significant mean group differences in creativity or in performance on an embedded-figures test of field-independence.
