Left handed Studys?

Okay, so now you know I am indeed left handed. My question is does this have an effect on my ability or lack thereof to induce lucid dreams? Logically I would assume it does having known for the better part of my life that that vast majority of the population was right handed and supposedly using a different part of their brain most of time than myself for various tasks.

I say the vast majority because I assume that in the studies done about lucid dreaming most of the participants may have been right handed leaving t left handed people such as myself unrepresented; or maybe things such as this might not have been taken into account.


Has anyone done any research on this? or more importantly able to show some results from a study?

or maybe you yourself are left handed and perfectly able to have lucid dreams?

Yes, Caused by what you said in chat.

I hope those results are reliable.

I'm left handed and I can LD pretty good <.<

since people are usually saying the left handed (does that make it right brained? i think its like switched like that or something weird) people are the creative ones and such, as a rightie i am always wondering if lefties have an unfair advantage on lucid dreaming... hahaha weird.

I'm left handed.. But didn't have any LD untill now..
But don't worry lefties are always better :D :D :D

Handedness is not the sole determining factor for which side of the brain is dominant. In my case, I'm right-handed and right-brained. Just because you're left-handed it doesn't mean you're right-brained.

Maybe take a hemispheric dominance test.

I took your advice and took the dominance test you linked me to, the results are as follows.

"You responded as a right brained person to 9 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 10 questions"

If there would have been 20 questions I probably would have been straight down the middle which is apparently the ideal place to be, (the best of both worlds)

===========

I now have no doubt that 'handeness' dosen't have anything to do with the ability to induce lucid dreams, although I still am without a lucid experience. I have been reading posts on the forums and working on centering my thoughts around LD's and expect that I should soon be in reach of my goal.
