2.5. How does the Nap Induced Lucid Dream (NILD) technique work?
It works by staying up for an hour or two after waking up before going
to bed again. This has proven to be a very effective technique, maybe
the most effective around. Sleep for about 5-6 hours, then stay awake
for about 1-2 hours and go back to sleep. Maybe doing some MILD a few
minutes before falling asleep. Or try staying conscious (WILD) until
the dream starts. This will in many cases cause you to have Lucid
Dreams. Also a good way to have vivid dreams, or will at least make
dream recall easier. Staying awake for 90 minutes seems to work better
than 60 minutes, though 60 minutes seems to be effective enough in
most cases. And sleeping for 6 hours seems to be better than 5 hours,
though it might be harder to fall asleep again. The time spent awake
should be used thinking or reading about dream related issues. Like
reading about lucid dreaming or related newsgroups.
