INDIVIDUAL-DIFFERENCES IN LOCUS OF CONTROL AND THE REPORTING OF LUCIDDREAMING

Lucid dreaming occurs when a sleeping subject becomes aware of being i n a dream, and, without waking up, maintains this awareness. This can then result in the conscious control of events or content of the dream . The present study found that high frequency lucid dreamers were sign ificantly more internal on Rotter's Locus of Control scale than were s ubjects who frequently recalled ordinary, but non-lucid, dreams. There were no significant mean group differences in creativity or in perfor mance on an embedded-figures test of field-independence.
