Jayne Gackenbach: Dream Writer and Researcher/ Former president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams
Gackenbach claims that there is a strong connection between video game play and lucid dreaming. She believes that, because video games increase absorption, reaction times, attention span, and spatial and problem solving skills, it enhances your sense of being within a virtual reality that is mimicked in lucid dreaming. In 2009, Gackenbach published evidence that links lucid dreaming to all forms of multimedia. She found that, through our advancements in technology, we have developed a much greater self-awareness. Her research suggests that because our society, driven by media, encourages these consciousnesses, we are innately developing our skills of lucidity.
