Lucid Dreaming
song for thread:
Techniques
There are three methods that can be looked into when trying to induce lucid dreams.
prospective memory,
sensory focus
dream re-entry.
MILD
(Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams)
This is likely the most well established technique for inducing lucid dreams.
This method utilises prospective memory.
The principle behind this technique is that we can link becoming lucid
with specific situations that we commonly encounter in our dreams.
How To Use
Think about a recent dream you have had. In this dream there should be an unusual situation.
Think about this part of the dream and whilst imagining it visualise yourself realising that you are dreaming.
Repeat this a couple of times.
This is interesting because it involves imagining doing something in the future by using the dream as a reference.
SSILD (Senses Initiated Lucid Dream)
This technique works differently to the MILD method.
This instead focuses on switching your attention to different senses multiple times before going to sleep.
You cycle between 3 main types of senses:
Visual: Focus on the darkness behind your closed lids and any subtle visuals
Auditory: Switch your focus to what you can hear around you.
Physical: Focus on the physical sensations like breathing, pressure and the feeling of your body lying down.
Do this without forcing your focus.
Whilst the neurological processes aren’t fully understood, promising results have been found.
It could be due to influencing your awareness when transitioning to sleep by constantly switching your attention.
DEILD (Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream)
This is likely the most interesting technique. It makes use of the transition between dreaming and being awake.
The principle behind this technique is that sometimes when you briefly wake up from a dream you can go back into the dream.
This will mean that you now have the context from your previous dream.
How To Use
When you naturally wake up from a dream try to remember what you were dreaming about.
Try to go back to sleep normally whilst remembering your dream.
If you go back into your dream you’ll notice that you are dreaming due to the familiarity of the previous environment.
This method is based on dream continuity rather than prospective memory.
Currently MILD has the most research to support it ngl
so thats the one i would try first but there is no knowing what method will work
the best for u
sensory focus
dream re-entry.
