> 36 participants > 18% > “many” people reported

Let’s not overstate the findings here.

The finding is that it is possible. Not everybody is able to perform it, though. It's difficult to stay focused and aware when lucid dreaming - it takes practice.

how do you even get 18% from 36 participants? 7/36 = 19.4% and 6/36 = 16.6%. I know they said "roughly" but I don't see why how you could round to that number.

Could be that each dreamer participated in multiple trials

Possibly a combination of rounding all the numbers and having the constraint it must sum to 100%
