Mnemonic initiated lucid dream: Difference between revisions

At night, when lying in bed before getting to sleep, one has to continuously repeat some sentences in their mind, to recall them when dreaming. These can be, for example: "The next scene I see will be a dream," "I am currently dreaming," "Next time I am dreaming, I will know it," or "I will have a lucid dream." This exercise has to continue without losing focus until the user feels they are on the verge of falling asleep. Then, one has to imagine a recent (non-lucid) dream and look for some [[dream signs|dream sign]]. Then imagine becoming lucid, and exploring the dreamscape, or doing whatever they intend to.<br>

The most likely outcome is that the user will eventually fall asleep, and their chances of becoming lucid will be much higher throughout the night, and even into the morning. However, the most reliable way of using this technique is waking up during the night, spending 20 minutes awake, and then performing it when going back to sleep.<ref>~~http~~://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/mnemonic-induction-of-lucid-dreams.html</ref> This way, the more vivid morning dreams will have increased subconscious content intended to trigger lucidity.

Another possible result when using MILD is falling asleep without losing awareness, which is another lucid dream-inducing technique called [[WILD]] ("Waking Initiated Lucid Dream").
