Relación entre mindfulness y sueños lúcidos: una revisión bibliográfica

Introduction

Lucid Dreaming, as a specific phenomenon of Conscious Sleep, is a field of growing scientific interest, and appears to be related to the practice of meditation and the development of mindfulness. The aim of this article is to carry out a review of any studies that present evidence of this relationship.

Method

A review was performed on scientific articles in the PubMed data base, of each one of the fields of interest. The review also included articles published in the International Journal of Dream Research, as well as the analysis of the literature references included in the articles selected.

Results

The review included 16 articles that contained information on the neurological or psychological foundations common to the field of interest.

Conclusions

Although the data showed that there is a link between mindfulness and lucid dreaming, more studies are needed to help confirm this relationship.
