I'm not posting this as a tutorial or as a study that I've already done; rather, I would like to see if others have found this happen to them before and if, through studying, it would have any potential as a real lucid dreaming induction technique.

So here it is: what I call TVILD (I pronounce it TEE-vild, but you can say it however you want); it stands for Television Induced Lucid Dream.

I didn't set out to discover if such a thing was possible; I simply started to realize recently that my longest and best lucids have always come after watching a movie or TV show that features something attractive for a lucid dreamer. For example, I've had lucid dreams after watching The Matrix, or an episode of Heroes, as both of those contain sequences of humans doing humanly impossible things (flying, using telekinesis, healing instantly, being invisible, etc), and those sequences are thrilling and exciting. I see those scenes and think "I just have to go lucid and do that!" If I go to bed directly after watching, then there is a very high chance that I will indeed have a lucid dream.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any way to make one film be successful over and over and over again?
