Thread: Science Fair Project on Dreaming Topics

Well, at school I have to do a science fair type project, so, I think a project about lucid dreams would be cool and interesting to do. Anyone have any good ideas?

dood! that would be tootaly awsome! go for it!

Hmm...discuss with your teacher on what sort of dream-topic you could do, and see if you'd need any sort of hardcore lab equipment. It'd be really cool if you could pull this off. Maybe you could get people to induce different types of dreams and then monitor their heart rate?

I don't think I would be able to use any heavy equipment on this. I was thinking more of something I could do myself at home.

this would be really cool, it would change the way people think of dreams

Actually, I hate to steal your idea, but I too have a senior research project to do. I don't know why lucid dreaming didn't occur to me earlier

I can think of several experimental directions we could go off the bat:

Lucid dream induction and the factors involved.
Lucid dream actions and the nuances thereof. (does muscle memory carry over, etc.)
Incorporation of external stimuli into lucid dreams (can you smell your room?)
Behavior of dream characters.

I'm sure there are plenty of other venues, but that's enough for now. Thanks for giving me the idea, I feel much better now that I have a solid topic to explore!
