The Secret World of Lucid Dreaming: What New Brain Research Reveals

Luzielle Mendez

22 April 2025

Lucid dreaming occurs during REM sleep, allowing individuals to be aware of and control their dreams. Researchers at Radboud University have identified unique neural patterns using EEG, distinguishing lucid dreaming from regular dreaming and waking states. Key brain activity includes reduced beta-band power in the right parietal lobe and increased gamma-band power in the right temporo-occipital areas. Increased alpha-band coherence suggests enhanced connectivity, highlighting lucid dreaming as a distinct consciousness state. Lucid dreaming holds therapeutic potential for conditions like PTSD and nightmares by enabling narrative control in dreams. The study broadens the understanding of consciousness, challenging the belief that awareness is limited to wakefulness. Refined EEG techniques p...
