Imagination, cognition and personality December 1, 2022 Michael Schredl, Anellka Remedios, Silvia Marin-Dragu et al. 8 citations

Dream recall frequency and lucid dream frequency vary widely among individuals and are partly linked to personality traits. An online survey of 1,537 participants (1,150 women, 387 men; mean age 35.1 years) confirmed that openness to experience is associated with higher dream recall, supporting the lifestyle hypothesis. However, associations between the Big Five personality factors and lucid dream frequency were less consistent; for example, neuroticism showed a negative relationship with lucid dream frequency. Effect sizes were small. Lucid dream frequency was related to COVID-19-related worries, while dream recall frequency was not.
