Reply With QuoteFrom Previous experiments it seems clear that temperature does affect dreaming.
So to induce the temperature may work.
But you would have to sustain the body temperature that you desire long enough to get into a REM stage, which may be the challenge.
Thank goodness for the acronym.

CHILD, could it work?
I was messing around with a few techniques today and thought about CHILD: Cold / Hot Induced Lucid Dream. It combines feeling and memory as part of it, although I don't know if it would work or could be classified as another technique.
1. Preferrably before bed, do something that would bring extreme cold or heat upon you.
Cold: Take a cold shower, or keep an ice cube in your mouth until it melts.
Heat: Take a scalding shower, or keep yourself near a lot of heat (radiator, vent)
2. When you get into bed (you should be pretty tired), think about the memory of the hot / cold. Really feel what happened, the smells, the sights, and the extreme cold / heat. Then immediately do an RC. Promise yourself that everytime you think about it, you'll do an RC.
3. Forget about it. It's hard to do, but let your train of thought wander. Eventually you may encounter the memory again, but as you promised do another RC.
4. When you fall asleep, hopefully you'll have a dream related to heat / cold, and you'll do an RC!
Would this work? Is anyone willing to try it?

You could employ an electric blanket or room air conditioner, possibly.
Either would interfere with my ability to sleep at all though. I don't sleep when I'm too hot or too cold.On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.

I originally thought that you do one action that will make you extremely cold / hot. But you're not hot or cold at the time of bed, just recalling the memory.
But your idea sounds good too!

You gotta wonder what kind of dreams David Blane had when trapped in block of ice?

An electric blanket, combined with a timer, would probably make a good cheap, and easy to set up lucid dream induction device. Originally Posted by pj

Then, just use steps 1-3 of Hyper_angel's CHILD technique, in order to allow you to use this to recognize you're dreaming.
