Study suggests gaming promotes lucid dreaming. Wow! From gamasutra.com: "Jayne Gackenbach, a professor of psychology and sociology at Grant MacEwan College, Canada has completed research which claims that video games alter the way the brain works.... frequent video game players have more 'lucid dreams' (in which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming) than non-gamers. Often, the dreamer can even manipulate the action or observe it in third-person, much like a video game." I'm curious to know whether there is a backwards relationship between gaming and lucid dreaming-- are lucid dreamers more likely to be drawn to gaming?
