Everyone Read: Forming a Dreamer Profile

I want as many people to see this as possible, I may even post this at ld4all. I want to try to form a profile of people who can lucid dream very well. Like maybe they are doing something that they didn't realize had any connection to their dreams. Let's start with some basic information. I'll fill it out with my info and you can copy the form and replace it with your own. If something is to personal or you dont want others to know, you are not obligated to answer everything. This is just out of curiosity is not in anyway scientific. My hypothesis is that diet or exericse may effect it as well as types of interests such as people who are more math oriented versus creative people like artists and writers. I really hope to examine the profiles of those who are veterans to lucid dreaming. Hopefully we can all learn something and try different things.

To clear some things up. For "Average Dream Time" put the time that it feels like you spent in your dream. Obviously it isn't going to be the same as real time, but you can tell when it "feels like" you've spent 10 seconds or 10 minutes in a dream. Also, even if you are still a beginner, I still value your input. Finding connections between beginners and moderate dreamers is just as important as the experts.

Interesting idea, though I bet analyzing the results of your survey will be hard. Do you know statistics?

I don't really know a lot about statistics and such but none-the-less finding out as much info about lucid dreamers demographics is a very interesting subject. Most of the information I asked for has some effect i'm sure. Diet/Exercise and Mental activities are big ones. Spoken languages may also have an effect. When you learn a second language your brain develops and changes in different ways. It's especially relevent in children who are still learning their first language. Studies show that they can begin learning a second language at a very young age and pick it up quickly. Other things though, like favorite color or wierd habbits probebly have very little to do with it, but I thought I would ask anyway. Keep in mind I am just some stupid little 16 year old. Nothing scientific about this. Still interesting though.

lol, I spelled it right...................I think? :|


interesting stuff here,

I see someone else on this board listens to Shpongle.....nice 8) .

Shouldn't everyone tell more about how and where they sleep? like this:

Type/size of bed: Small one-person bed... it's a piece of crap but still quite comfy
Main color of room: Blue!
Temperature: varies from 15 C to 25 C depending on winter/summer and window open/closed. I like to have my window open if it doesn't freeze up the place.
Noise level: I have modded a PC fan on a table next to my bed. It's always turned on and makes a white noise. By adjusting voltage I can adjust the speed of the fan.
Sheets/blankets: Two blankets, one is quite thin and the other is medium-thick. I either use the medium-thick one or both. Cotton-sheets.
What I do before going to bed: I shower, brush my teeth, take multivitamins and sometimes B6. I also use the computer. I have the window open to cool down the room so it's really comfy between my warm sheets.
