Do people with PTSD lucid dream?
Approved answer
Lucid Dreaming in PTSD
A prior study involving military veterans diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and experiencing recurrent nightmares indicated a significant occurrence of lucid dreaming (LD), which refers to the awareness of dreaming while still engaged in the dream. This study also revealed a distinct "LD profile" noted for frequent awareness during dreams coupled with infrequent control over dream content.
