ts and came up with a total of 35 lucid dreams from various stages of sleep. Of the 35 lucid dreams, 32 occurred during REM sleep, and the other three took place during other stages of the sleep cycle. “A later analysis extending these data with two additional subjects and 20 more lucid dreams produced identical results” (LaBerge, 1990). This led LaBerge and the three other scientists to believe that lucid dreaming usually occurs during REM sleep. Many other researchers were also studying lucid dreaming and the time of their occurrence. Two such researchers, named Keith Hearne and Alan Worsley, designed a study of lucid dreaming. In their experiment, the subject spent 50 non-continuous nights in the Hull University sleep lab while the experimenter monitored the polygraph. From their studies, there was a total of eight lucid dreams and they said all of the dreams occurred during REM sleep. Another researcher, named Olgilvie, also studied lucid dreaming. “Olgilvie reported the physiological state preceding 14 spontaneous lucidity signals as unqualified REM in 12 (86%) of the cases; of the remaining two cases, one was ambiguous REM and the other appeared to be wakefulness” (LaBerge, 1990). According to Olgilvie’s research, lucid dreams normally occur during REM sleep, but there is always a slight chance they occur at other times. Many other laboratories that study lucid dreaming agree with LaBerge, Hearne and Worsley, and Olgilvie that lucid dreams take place during REM sleep. Lucid dreams come about in two different ways. In the usual type of dream, people are right in the middle of REM sleep, when suddenly something unusual happens causing enough image and representation for them to slow down and become aware that they are dreaming. This is also known as a Dream-initiated Lucid Dream (DILD). In all of the lucid dreams people have, 80% are said to be dream-ini
