  • Title: Lucid dreaming and alpha activity: a preliminary report.
    Author: Ogilvie RD, Hunt HT, Tyson PD, Lucescu ML, Jeakins DB.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1982 Dec; 55(3 Pt 1):795-808. PubMed ID: 7162915.
    Abstract:
    10 good dream recallers spent 2 nights in the sleep lab during which they were awakened 4 times per night from REM sleep, twice during their highest alpha activity in REM, and twice during low REM alpha. 5 were given alpha feedback training prior to sleep onset. Arousals from high alpha REM sleep yielded significantly higher lucidity ratings. Alpha feedback had no effect upon lucidity or REM alpha levels. Similarities between lucid dreams and meditative phenomena are discussed.
