A number of studies associate lucid dreaming with increased mental health and self-confidence in individuals (1). Other studies see lucid dreamers as 'socially bold, dominant, experimenting, enthusiastic, and warm (2)'.
According to others, lucid dreamers are more creative than the average people (3) and more resilient when facing traumatic stressors (4).
One personality trait, hypnotizability or the 'openness to experience' has also been positively-linked to the frequency of lucid dreaming.
Another experiment concluded that lucid dreamers are smarter than the average person.
