Lucid Dreamers Statistics

Hello, fellow lucid dreamers :)
I am gathering information from regular, experienced or even occasional lucid dreamers, mostly demographics, but also the methods and supplement statistics.
I will be visiting more forums and places, where lucid dreamers meet and I will try to gather as much info as possible. I have no commercial reasons, I don't want to market anything, to be honest I am just totally curious. If you want to take this survey, click here:

For lucid dreamers only! Survey

And if you want to know my results, send me a private message and I will send you my results when I have at least some amount of data.
Also, you can suggest another questions, If you think that my questionnaire is lacking.
That is all. Thank you for your time and I wish you lucid dream tonight :)

I would like to suggest an improvement to the ''lucid age'' question. Since my first lucid was in either February or March, the closest option that was relevant was ''1 year'', but it was, in fact, shorter than such. I think you should add a ''between 1 to 12 months'' or something of that nature.

I might suggest that you could post the data in this thread once something relevant comes up in terms of data.

You're right, I will post it here :) Oh and thank you for answers so far. You've been all very helpful :)

I will do it when I get the time too, post the results when its done.

Took it!:D

Took the survey, look forward to seeing the results.

You may want to separate DEILD from WILD/VILD. Not sure how common my case is, but I DEILD from time to time but only very rarely WILD successfully. Maybe for each type you could have people select how often they use that method (kind of like the quality of dreams section).

Cool survey...although for demographics, you should note that this website tends to cater toward younger people, so there is probably an overrepresentation of them in the statistic compared to the general population of LDers. :P

Yes, I am aware of that :) That's why I will post it on other websites to really achieve representative statistics of LDers.

Done. I noticed that the item for vividness also included enjoyability. These are distinct factors and it might be better to separate them.

It would be interesting to see graphs for these statistics.
