Whereas the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) varied between r = .74 and r = .83 for the FIve factors in the original sample (Saucier, 1994), the sum scores of the present sample (N = 1369) showed the following indices of reliability: neuroticism (r = .577), extraversion (r = .560), openness to experience (r = .585), agreeableness (r = .470), conscientiousness (r = .693).

Overall, 56.32% of the total sample (N = 1369) stated that they had experienced at least one lucid dream. Using the additional information about the number of lucid dreams per year, the sample (N = 1286) was divided into three groups: No lucid dreams (47.82%), infrequent lucid dreams (1-11 per year; 43.86%) frequent lucid dreams (12 or more lucid dreams per year; 8.52%).
