A 2015 study by Julian Mutz and Amir-Homayoun Javadi showed that people who had practiced meditation for a long time tended to have more lucid dreams. The authors claimed that "Lucid dreaming is a hybrid state of consciousness with features of both waking and dreaming" in a review they published in Neuroscience of Consciousness [7] in 2017.
However, Soffer–Dudek’s review of lucid dreaming research, which included the personality findings above, concluded that there may be possible adverse effects of lucid dreaming and of induction of lucid dreaming.
In 1968 Green published Lucid Dreams, a study of a phenomenon described by Green as when a dreamer consciously changes the content of their dreams. [9] [10] The possibility of conscious insight during dreams had previously been treated with scepticism by some philosophers [11] and psychologists [12] and scientific skepticism continued after her book was published.

The term 'lucid dream' was first used by the Dutch physician Frederik van Eeden, [12] who studied his own dreams of this type. The word ...

Lucid dreaming is characterized by more 40 Hz power than non-lucid dreaming, especially in frontal regions. Since it is 40 Hz power that has been correlated with waking consciousness in previous studies, it can be suggested that enough 40 Hz power has been added to the non-lucid dreaming brain to support the increase in subjective awareness ...
