Frequently asked questions

Below you can read responses to a number of frequently asked questions. As general questions come to our attention, we intend to update this area.

What are the prospective benefits of lucid dreaming?

Lucid dreaming offers a variety of benefits to lucid dreamers personally and as a larger field of study, such as the following:

-Lucid dreaming has assisted lucid dreamers in resolving nightmares and aiding PTSD sufferers

-Some studies show lucid dreaming appears to support mental and physical health and wellness

-On a personal level, lucid dreaming allows for a unique and personal exploration of one's consciousness

-Similarly, lucid dreaming has a long history in various wisdom traditions to provide powerful spiritual insights

-More generally, lucid dreaming allows for experiments while in the dream state

-Lucid dreaming shows a new way to approach and access inner creativity

And this seems the beginning of lucid dreaming's potential.

How much of my donation goes to lucid dreaming?

The Lucid Dreaming Foundation relies on volunteers, so it keeps its expenses to a minimum.  Other than operational features like website fees and credit card non-profit processing fees, all of your donated funds go to building a brighter future for lucid dreaming and lucid dreamers.

How can I help?

We invite you to support the Lucid Dreaming Foundation and pursue the dream of expanding the ease, value, reach and benefits of lucid dreaming.  With your financial contributions, ideas and support, the Lucid Dreaming Foundation can make a difference around the world.  Here, you have a unique opportunity to help ‘invigorate’ this special area of lucid dreaming in order to change others and the world for the better.

Who created it?

Please see the Founding Members page.

In some areas of donor interest, the Lucid Dreaming Foundation will team up with others for advice, input and expertise to make the best use of funding.

How will it work?

To achieve these broad goals, the non-profit Lucid Dreaming Foundation collects tax deductible donations to support work to improve education, research and international outreach in the field of lucid dreaming.

Around the globe, hundreds of millions have heard about the inspiring practice of lucid dreaming.  However in much of the world, the information on practices seems incomplete, mistranslated or unhelpful.  Elsewhere, talented lucid dreamers seem largely unaware of the possible benefits of lucid dreaming or uncertain if these benefits actually exist.  Sadly, the funds to truly advance lucid dreaming research and science seem scant or hard to obtain.

As a registered non-profit, the Lucid Dreaming Foundation has numerous advantages (e.g., tax deductible donations, etc.) to make a difference and advance the field of lucid dreaming for everyone.

Why create a Lucid Dreaming Foundation?

As you look at the larger framework of lucid dreaming, you see a variety of common needs for lucid dreamers:

-New and innovative induction techniques,

-Creative approaches to enhance lucid dreaming’s healing potential,

-Educational material in languages where quality lucid dreaming information does not exist,

-Broader research into the phenomenology of lucid dreaming

And much more.

This helps to explain the need for a non-profit like the Lucid Dreaming Foundation. We need a non-profit organization focused exclusively on lucid dreaming, to keep the momentum going and effect positive change for lucid dreamers worldwide.

How do you define ‘lucid dreaming’?

Lucid dreaming means to realize within a dream that you exist in the dream state. The American Psychological Association Dictionary defines a lucid dream as “a dream in which the sleeper is aware that he or she is dreaming and may be able to influence the progress of the dream narrative.”
