I am working on a new method for lucid dreaming that takes it to a new level of detail. It is based on decades of work with non-lucid mental training, like memory training and high efficiency skill acquisition, which I have done for various organizations. Turns out it can be useful in LD, according to some dreamers I talk to.
My problem is that I have had very little research contact to the LD community, I just do not know enough lucid dreamers. I need to do some simple interviews with at least 100 dreamers, and deeper interviews with at least 10. Is this community active enough for that? Or are there places that I can meet these people somewhat easily? The results (but not the actual interviews, of course) will be made freely available online.
Edit: Yes, this is related to the people using RPGs for LD.
What kinds of questions will be asked? Will you ask for highly personal information? Will it be through a questionnaire, or will there be a one-on-one interview via voice chat?
No personal info, at all! In fact, I am going to avoid even slightly personal info to avoid tainting the answers with my inevitable bias (we all have them). The 100 will be a questionaire, probably 10 main questions and some elaboration, while the 10 people will be more an interview. Still not sure about the practical details, but I have set up custom private conversation software before when doing HESA stuff.
Getting 10 people on LD4all is difficult, but may be doable with a lot of luck.
If you really need more participants, you should consider reaching out to other communities and social media platforms.
By interview, do you mean a voice chat, or would a text interview be acceptable as well?
