Thanks! Besides bounded variance they should also generally be independent. Or at least I'm not aware of a dependent variable version.



There are (several) central limit theorems for dependent variables, but you often have to assume other things as well (e.g., stationarity, bounded third moment, and/or limited-range correlations) for it to work.
