And they may be better lucid dreamers to. This and other tidbits were made plain in my research for the book American Dreamers. What follows is some of the data that compares sleep, income, and dream content for individuals who mke less than $30/year to those who make more than $100k/year.

Sleep, dreams, and economic status

Income x Sleep

		Less than $30k	More than $100k
Sleep	Less than 6 hours a night	24	6
	6-8.9 hours a night	70	91
	More than 9 hours a night	5	3

Insomnia	Never	50	63
	1-2 nights a week	20	21
	3 or more nights a week	29	14

Income x Dream Prototypes

	Less than $30k	More than $100k
A person who’s now dead appearing alive	39	40
Magically flying in the air	21	26
Being chased or attacked	40	49
Falling	47	52
Sexual experiences	40	50
Being in a situation exactly like your regular waking life	53	59
Being aware you’re dreaming and able to control the dream	36	51

I talk about work and economic factors in chapter 5.
