Considering the week notice, researchers are pleased with the participation in the first Global Lucid Dreaming Experiment. Organizers paired it with the annual National Dream Hotline® weekend, also sponsored by the School of Metaphysics. They hope as this year's findings become distributed interest will grow in the project and manifest through involvement of more nationalities and races. Date for the next experiment will be in February 2008. Exact date and time yet to be determined. |
| The Hypothesis |
The premise of this experiment is that lucid dreaming is a universal experience for homo sapiens. The experiment enables a forum to prove that lucid dreaming occurs around the world across cultures, religions, races, ages, and nationalities. |
Half claim a major faith as their own, 23% interfaith and 18% listing none.
