FILD Technique

**ailos15** · 05-16-2009 06:41 AM

I don't know if anyones come up with this "technique". I'm not sure if its even a technique lol, but ive noticed that during a really scary nightmare, i suddenly realize that im dreaming. I decided to call it the Fear Induced Lucid Dream. So is it possible that if i try and make my dreams scary that it'll increase my chance of becoming lucid?

apparently the abbreviation FILD is already taken for Finger Induced Lucid Dream

well if you could make your dreams scary, then you would already have control, removing the need to become lucid as you would be already to accomplish this. unless you mean push your chances by watching horror films before sleeping or something. that might help.

yeah thats what i meant lol i would try watching scary movies right before bed, or try waking up 5-6 hours after going to sleep and then watch something scary for like 10 minutes or something, then go back to sleep

While in once sense this is a way of initiating lucid dreams, it still just uses a dream sign, which is an old trick. I used to do a reality check before using the restroom. If you ever do a RC before using the restroom and discover that you are dreaming, you'll be glad you did.

another thing that i try to become lucid, is before i go to sleep i tell myself the next time im out of my bed, i'm dreaming. and then when im dreaming i usually turn lucid.
