Tadas Stumbrys is a psychologist, lecturer and active researcher of lucid dreams (LD) from Lithuania. He has been working on this topic since 2008, when he first experienced a lucid dream and was fascinated by this amazing inner world, its realness, depth, and possibilities.
Together with his colleagues, he conducted an impressive amount of research and published a number of articles in scientific journals. Lucid dreams, their induction, and application in sports was the topic of his doctoral dissertation at Heidelberg University in Germany.
Stumbrys is a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, as well as a board member of the Lithuanian Association for Mindfulness-Based Psychology. The scientist is interested not only in empirical research on the topic of LD but also in the practice of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. He conducts seminars and workshops on LD and mindfulness and is engaged in academic activities.
Over the past year, Stumbrys has studied lucid dreams as a method of treating psychological problems, including clinical depression. He also investigated the question of whether LD has potential dangers for health, coming to the conclusion that lucid dreams do not affect the quality of sleep and have an overall positive effect on the human psyche.
