Hi everyone,

I am a phd-student at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and I'm writing my thesis about the possibility to practice motor skills in lucid dreams. I designed a lucid dream experiment to do at home. I already conducted the experiment in Germany with great success, and I'd like to replicate the findings! Because of that I translated the experiment. The task to do in your lucid dreams is very simple: Try to toss a coin into a coffee cup!

You can find everything you need on the website:
http://luciddreaming.de

It is important that you consider the following points:

1. You should read the introduction/instructions on the webpage
2. download and print the documents for the experiment (4 pages including instructions and protocol sheets)
3. Do the experiment at a night when you feel confident to have a lucid dream:
3.1. In the evening: do the coin-tossing in the waking-state and write down your hits out of 20 tosses.
3.2. In your lucid dreams: pracitce, practice, practice!
3.3. In the morning: do the coin-tossing in the waking state and and write down your hits out of 20 tosses.
4. Submit your results by using the formular on luciddreaming.de --> Step 4 (Important: You don’t have to sent anything by mail!!)


IMPORTANT: If you have irregularly lucid dreams or you are a non-lucid dreamer than PLEASE participate too in the experiment! It might be the case that the task is stimulating you to have lucid dreams, also you might have a normal dream about the coin-tossing task or you remember no dream during the night. Either case, the data would be equally important for us!

I would be very happy if many people from this forum participate in the coin tossing task!

best wishes from Heidelberg, Germany!
