Cuddle Induced Lucid Dream (CILD)

To do this technique you need the following:
- As many stuffed animals as possible
- A loving for those animals
- Soft, fuzzy blankets

Step 1: Preparing Your Bed

Make your pillow comfortable, and layer the blankets so that they can touch your skin. Make sure they are large enough so you can cuddle them. Surround your body with the stuffed animals to make a nest.

Step 2: Falling Asleep

When in bed (with the lights off), cuddle one (or more) soft stuffed animals and/or blankets. Think (but not too hard) on these fuzzy things. You might drift off into a semi-consiousness where you can see a dream but feel the animal you are holding. Shortly after that you will become fully asleep.

Step 3: Becoming Lucid

When you enter the dream, more often than not you will have false awakenings, or be in your bedroom. If you did this right, your mind will search for the stuffed animals you should have bee clutching. They probably won't be there. This trigged my mind to do a reality check, and after it I became lucid.


This technique is really simple, easy, and fun! I mean, come on! You can cuddle a stuffed animal to induce lucid dreams!

Note: Be wary of False Awakenings. These will happen often.

Hints:
- Try not to move too much. Find a comfortable position in which to sleep. Side works best for me.
- Go to the washroom before you fall asleep. Otherwise your mind may concentrate on the washroom rather than the cuddly animals and blankets



This is a new technique that works for me. I had 5 lucid dreams this week because of it! (Now thats something&#33

This may, or may not work for you. Its only been tested by me, for feel free to try it youself.
