Survey Data on Synesthesia and Lucid Dreaming in 616 Adults

616 adults were surveyed using a synesthesia self-report, the Lucidity and Consciousness in Dreams scale, and the Big-5 inventory. The data was collected by Eiko Matsuda and published on figshare in March 2026. It supports an investigation into links between synesthesia subtypes and facets of lucid dreaming.

Use Cases

• Cluster analysis to identify synesthesia subtypes based on self-reported perceptual and conceptual experiences.
• Regression analysis to explore type-specific effects of synesthesia on lucid dream facets like control and insight.
• Personality analysis to examine associations between lucid dreaming and traits like Openness and Extraversion.

Strengths

• Survey includes 616 adult participants.
• Analysis validated four distinct synesthesia subtypes consistent with prior work.
• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset is small at 80.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
