Thread: Lucid Dreaming Survey

Well said, Sensei!

I completed the survey, it was very good!

I have completed the survey..and when it comes to spiritual matters, psychedelics are amazing.

Completed the survey! That was quite interesting. I wish you luck in your thesis!

I've completed the survey, good luck with your study. : )

I do feel the questions could use a bit of fine tuning though, some are open to interpretation, but I think I understand the gist of the kind of info you're trying to gather.

Hi everybody! You are amazing! For now, there is 180 responses! And there is so many positive reactions, which can´t be even counted! Thank you all very much for your willingness and cooperation. Research will be ending soon (Monday-Tuesday), so that will be last chance for participation.

Thank you for your personal opinion and for your original contribution. I am not going to react to all your points, because I think that everybody have their own theory about life, and this regards especially to spirituality. And I think too, that this kind of questions doesn´t need more argumentation on my side. I accept your opinion and I would see, how can I use it in my research.

But I say something about spirituality again. Every attempt to conceptualize spirituality is creating so many problems, as we can see, everybody have their own personal view on it. This means, that everybody have their own spirituality. This phenomenon has even a name in sociology of religion - it is so called "privatization of religion". And so, it is really problematic to define spirituality from all these private "spiritualities". And then measuring something like spiritual intelligence, which is another dimension of conceptualization, must be even more problematic. And because everybody have their own spiritual view, same will it be with spiritual intelligence. SISRI-24 is validated psychological scale for measuring some dimensions in concept of spiritual intelligence, which itself has been defined for purpose of measuring. In other words, it is measuring that, what it want to measure. It is not giving ultimate results about spirituality or spiritual intelligence, it is giving only one point of view regarding to quantitative research, which is another category for problems :-). It is creating more questions, if is it even possible to measure spirituality by quantitative research etc. And I am not author of this scale, I am just using it for purposes, which are totally fine with all limitation, which I realize. If you are more interested in this, you can find it by googling "SISRI-24" or you can send me PM and I will send you original materials.

Done. Sorry, I hadn't logged in until 12 days after you PMed me.

Thank you very much and I hope that I have not disturbed you.

To all:
For now, there is 197 responses! I am looking for few more, just to reach magical 200 and that will be all! Thank you all for participation!

Finished the Survey, thanks the questions were very interesting if I say so myself.

I wasn't sure what specifically all the questions meant (for instance, the definition of “higher states of consciousness”), so I made some assumptions when answering. Hopefully they aren't too out of line with what was intended. A couple of questions didn't have an answer choice that exactly matched my situation, so I just chose the one that was closest.

Thank you all very much!

To Travis E.:
It is totally okay, you have made right decisions. The goal is to select options which is most closest for you. Thank you!

Hey All! I would like to inform you, that research is still running until this Friday. Some changes about dates have been made, so it is still open.

I just finished it !
But I had problems with some questions, like :

What degree of control do you have over your lucid dreams?

I think this question is not so relevant because the answer is not the same from a lucid dream to another. I have lucid dreams where I can do fundamental changes, but I also have ones where my awareness is very low and I can't even unshackle myself from the initial scenario of the dream.
So I answered I can do fundamental changes but it is absolutely not applicable to ALL my LD's.

For what purpose do you use lucid dreams the most?

I think we can practice lucid dreaming for several reasons (in my case it's for specific skills, for fun, and also to explore possibilities, so I felt limited by the possible answers).

Hi LuneBleue, thank you very much for participation and for your response! You are correct, not every LD are under same control, but if you reached level of fundamental changes, your answer in survey was right. As regards to purpose of LDs, goal of the question is to find out the main reason for LDing - so even if you have more reasons for LDing, maybe there is one reason, which is strongest for you. These kinds of limitations and reductions are totally fine in matter of quantitative research, if it would be qualitative research, there will be more room for personal differences and opinions.

Okay EmpyreanSeeker, thanks for these informations, I get it now
You posted the results earlier, will you post new results later, because of new people participations ?

It is no problem at all. What results do you mean? Results are still available at the address from the main post in this topic.

Good Luck with your thesis

People are more serious on this forum that this seems to imply xD

Done! Excellent job! Thought I'd be the oldest one, but apparently not...unless people answered with the year of their birth, which some respondents apparently did.

Happy to have participated.

Hey all! Thank you all for your responses. Research have been done - total responses: 285 for today. I have completed and successfully defend my thesis in my country already, but maybe I will use these data in the future, so survey form is still open. I will write an English report of some conclusions from my thesis and I will post it here. That will be in next month I hope. So, thank you very much again, it was amazing to cooperate with you all! I wish all of you all the best!
