The current study focused on the distribution of lucid dreams in school children and young adults. The survey was conducted on a large sample of students aged 6-19 years. Questions distinguished between past and current experience with lucid dreams. Results suggest that lucid dreaming is quite pronounced in young children, its incidence rate drops at about age 16 years. Increased lucidity was found in those attending higher level compared with lower level schools. Taking methodological issues into account, we feel confident to propose a link between the natural occurrence of lucid dreaming and brain maturation.
本研究关注的是清醒梦在学童和青年中的分布。该调查在一个年龄在 6 至 19 岁的大样本学生中进行。问卷区分了过去和现在的清醒梦体验。结果表明，年幼的孩子中清醒梦非常明显，其发生率在 16 岁左右下降。与就读较低水平学校的学生相比，那些就读较高水平学校的学生的清醒度更高。考虑到方法学问题，我们有信心提出清醒梦的自然发生与大脑成熟之间的联系。
