      Terminology (acronyms)

      Okay, I tried looking through all the tutorials I could find, and still only have been able to figure out MILD (Mnemonic-Induced Lucid Dream) and WILD (Wake-Induced Lucid Dream). People use other such phrased, some of which I believe to bemade up on the spot (NILD, Nightmare-induced Lucid Dream, and TILD, Tilet-Induced Lucid Dream), but others of which are a common enough expression that noone feels the need to explain them when posting (such as DILD, or WBTB). What do some of these phrases mean? And am I confused about the meaning of the first two phrases?

      (PS: If DILD stands for Dream-Induced Lucid Dream, would that mean a dream became Lucid partway through, or Dreamsign-Induced if you become lucid due to dreamsigns, would that mean, for example, that a wake-induced nonlucid dream that then became lucid would be a DILD rather than a WILD?)

      Hi,

      Well firstly there's the Acronym List which should explain them however the DILD is a dream induced lucid. It's basically a lucid dream that happens spontaniously in a dream and can just happen on the spot or via a dream sign or an unusual event.

      A WBTB is a Wake Back To Bed. It's not really a technique but more of a helper to get lucid. It's when you wake up after a few hours of sleeping and then stay awake for a short while and then go back to bed to help you get lucid.
