This article reports an investigation of 2 proposed theories, the predispositional and experiential, regarding the association of personality variables to lucid dreaming incidence during a 12-week lucid dreaming induction program. The study found no differences between those who did and did not report lucid dreams during the program on baseline measures of field independence, locus of control or need for cognition. There was an observed significant change toward a field independent orientation between baseline and posttests for those successful at inducing a lucid dream; with no statistically significant differences for either Locus of Control or Need for Cognition. Results suggest that field independence may not be a predispositional characteristic for the successful induction of lucid dreaming, but an experiential result of having lucid dream experiences. The authors conclude that experiences within a dream state may have appreciable effects on waking cognition.

在为期 12 周的诱导研究中探索认知需求、场独立性和控制点对清醒梦发生率的作用。

本文报告了一项关于人格变量与 12 周清醒梦诱导计划中清醒梦发生率关联的倾向性和经验性理论的调查。该研究发现，在项目期间报告和未报告清醒梦的人在现场独立性、控制点或认知需求的基线测量方面没有差异。对于那些成功诱导清醒梦的人，在基线和后测之间观察到显着的场独立方向变化；控制点或认知需求没有统计学上的显着差异。结果表明，场独立性可能不是成功诱导清醒梦的倾向特征，而是有清醒梦经验的经验结果。作者得出结论，梦境中的经历可能对清醒时的认知产生明显影响。
