The International Lucid Dream Induction Study compared five combinations of lucid dream induction techniques in 355 participants interested in lucid dreaming. After a one-week baseline recording of sleep and dream recall, participants practiced the techniques for another week. The MILD and SSILD techniques were similarly effective for inducing lucid dreams, while a hybrid of the two showed no advantage. Better general dream recall and falling asleep within 10 minutes of completing the techniques predicted successful induction. Lucid dream induction did not harm sleep quality, and the techniques worked regardless of prior lucid dreaming frequency or experience.
