How does the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) technique work?
Lucid Dreaming FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Q...It works by setting your intention to remember to recognize you are dreaming. Stephen LaBerge from the Lucidity Institute developed it while he was trying to increase his Lucid Dreams frequency. A good approach is waking up after 5-6 hours, remember a dream and tell yourself: "Next time I'm dreaming, I will remember I'm dreaming." You need to really mean it. Concentrate on this thought only, if you find yourself thinking on something else, just let the thought go and return to your intention.

How does the Wake-Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD) technique work?
Lucid Dreaming FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Q...It works by remaining conscious until you start dreaming. The Lucidity Institute also first presented this technique, but it is not easy if you don't have a clue what to do. But it is quite easy and effective if you do it right. Again, you need to sleep 5-6 hours before trying this. This is because you don't dream much the first 5 hours, it is mostly non- REM sleep. You enter REM a lot faster after 5-6 hours with sleep, and you don't go down to stage 3 and 4 as you do when you first go to bed.

Related QuestionsWhat is the physiology of dreams and lucid dreams?
Out of Body Experiences (OBE) FAQ by Jouni A. SmedThe electrical activity of the brain has been observed and classified with EEG (electroencephalograph) equipment; signals are picked up from the scalp by electrodes, then filtered and amplified to drive a graph recorder. Brain activity has been found to produce specific ranges for certain basic states of consciousness, as indicated in 'Hz' (Hertz, or cycles/vibrations per second): delta -- 0.2 to 3.5 Hz (deep sleep, trance state) theta -- 3.5 to 7.5 Hz (day dreaming, memory) alpha -- 7.

How does this soft shore technique work?
FAQThis technique uses undercurrent stabilizers that are shore-perpendicular low-profile structures. Stabilizer consists of grout filled, geotextile tubes. The oval cross-sectional shape of the stabilizers reduces the amount of wave reflection and turbulence. The stabilizers re-establish the proper bottom profile of the beach and taper down in size as they extend into the water. The stabilizers have a very different design than groins.
Related QuestionsDo Lucid Dreaming induction devices work?
Lucid Dreaming FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Q...Yes. Your senses never rest. So what your senses pick up are usually incorporated into your dream, unless it wakes you up. You dream most vividly in the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage. A device can detect these eye movements and give you cues. Cues mostly used are flashing lights and sound. The problem with these cues is that they don't tell you that you are dreaming. They usually appear in the dream as something else, like carlights.
Related QuestionsARE THERE ANY DRUGS OR NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS THAT STIMULATE LUCID DREAMS?
Lucid Dreaming Frequently Asked Questions Answered by The Lu...A number of substances have been suggested to enhance the likelihood of lucid dreaming, from vitamins to prescription drugs.

This is not to say that there are not substances that do, in fact, promote lucid dreaming. We are interested in discovering such and welcome observations from fellow dreamers.
