Lucid dreaming: Consciousness through neuroimaging

Abstract [en]

The concept of lucid dreaming is truly fascinating as it involves individuals becoming aware of their state of dreaming while still immersed in the dream state. This intriguing phenomenon provides a unique opportunity to explore consciousness. Previous research has indicated that during lucid dreaming, there is heightened activity in the frontal region of the brain as well as an increase in alpha waves. These neural activities mirror those observed during waking consciousness. In this thesis, a comprehensive systematic review is undertaken to examine lucid dreaming from the perspective of neuroimaging techniques. This review challenges the widely held belief that the frontal region is the primary locus of activity during lucid dreaming. Based on results reported, this thesis suggests that the parietal region may also play a significant role in contributing to the experience of lucid dreaming.
