Thread: How to Induce a lucid dream?

I have had lucid dreams quite a bit before, but they were always accidental. I never knew what they were until I had researched about it and stumbled across this page. When I found out you can induce them, I have been wanting to try it myself. I've read quite a bit on how to, but I'm not 100% sure if those methods worked for yall, or if one method worked better than the others.

I asked a question that generated some pretty good responses as to what a beginner should do. I asked what people wish they had done when they started. Note that these may vary between individuals. Here's the link

Yost, that thread helped a lot and I will be sure to try every one of those training techniques. Thank you!

There are 4 main ways to induce a lucid dream.

Mnenomic Induced Lucid Dream-MILD Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream-DEILD Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Wake Induced Lucid Dream-WILD Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

So, basically, you can induce lucid dreams by increasing your self awareness enough for your in dream awareness is high enough for you to realize your dreaming while your dreaming (DILD), by training your prospective memory enough so that remember you're dreaming while you're dreaming (MILD), by tricking your body into falling asleep while still being self aware so that you don't lose awareness in the first place (WILD), or by using the fact that you remain in REM for a few seconds after awakening to facilitate inducing a WILD (DEILD). There are many techniques for each method but the Dreamviews recommended tutorials are a good place to start.

MILD is my favorite technique.

Dolphin, Thank you so much for all of that information! I have quite a bit to go, but I will definitely keep trying until I get there. I really appreciate it
