As for my question about being a deep sleeper and wondering whether being a deep sleeper made one less likely to become lucid within dreams, surely this has been explored? Has anyone any thoughts or experiences (or hard data) on the topic?
Visuals seem to dominate dreams, but certainly many people experience dreams involving all of the senses. For me smell is the rarest, with few dreams having smell. Sound is fairly common as is touch. Taste happens fairly often for me as well as i dream about eating quite frequently

Being a deep sleeper may have some challenges. Some people have more LDs when they sleep more fitfully. But the key is really if you can recall any dreams. If not then you may become lucid, but be unable to remember it in the morning

One other suggestion is to read some books on lucid dreaming before you go to sleep. Immersing my mind in the idea of lucid dreams helped me have more dreams.

Some books - Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming LaBerge. Creative Dreaming Garfield.
