Reply with your score and how often you have lucid dreams.
If you want to know why I'm asking:
I was reading this article by Blagrove titled Lucid dreaming: associations with internal locus of control, need for cognition and creativity . It states that people who frequently have lucid dreams (here defined as one or more lucid dreams per month) were significantly more internal on Rotter's Locus of Control scale than were individuals who had never had a lucid dream, with infrequent lucid dreamers scoring mid-way between these groups.
If you aren't familiar with the locus of control, a person who has a more external locus believes that her behavior is guided by fate, luck, or other external circumstances whereas a person with a more internal locus
believes that her behavior is guided by her personal decisions and efforts.
So I found old Rotter's Locus of Control scale and was thinking that we could do a little survey here and post what we found. Could be interesting. Basically this author is saying that high internal locus scores for lucid dreamers supports the idea that a person's waking cognitive style (specifially internal vrs. external locus of control) determines to a large extent whether they will be a frequent lucid dreamer or not.
