PILD?

Is there any such thing as Pain Induced Lucid Dream?

I experienced this last night. An old shoulder injury has been irritated by the work I'm doing right now. Early this morning, I became aware of the shoulder pain in a dream (because of the way I was laying in RL) and had a few minutes of lucidity as a result, though it didn't last long.

Being in pain sucks, but maybe this is a way to make lemonade from lemons?

Has anybody else had similar experiences with pain in dreams?

PILD Exists, but it's called Punishment Induced Lucid Dream....

This technique works by punishing yourself every time you fail to realize that you were dreaming. While going to sleep, tell yourself that you MUST become Lucid this night OR you will be punished in the morning. Various types of punishment may be a cold shower or maybe an electric shock. A 9 volt battery against your tongue maybe. This technique should be used in combination with MILD. The point is to increase your intention, and it works.
