You punish yourself every time you fail to realise that you were dreaming. You know that you

will be punished in the morning if you do not realise your dreaming. Cold showers or eating

food you don't like. It should be used with MILD to increase your intention to have an LD. I

do not recommend this method, however it is supposed to work.

TILD

This works by not drinking before bed, and going to sleep. Wake up after 5-6 hours and

filling a cup with fresh tempting water. Place it by your bed on a desk, and think that

every time you drink you will do a RC. Hopeful you will become Lucid. I don't recommend this,

because you could become de-hydrated.

LD/Astral: Unaware Lucid Dream

ULD

You are NOT realising that you're dreaming but still you act like a lucid dreamer and do

everything you want to do - you have the behaviour of a lucid dreamer, not the awareness.

See False Lucid Dream

ILD: Urinate Induced Lucid Dreaming

UILD

This method can be a bit of a risk! It works by remembering to do a RC/RT every time you go

to the bathroom. So when you goto bed you drink a lot of water, and hopefully you will find

yourself in a bathroom doing a RC/RT and become Lucid! Warning: It can seem so real that you

can wet your bed.

Awake/RL: Waking/Real Life

WL/RL

The terms that can be used to separate reality from dreams.

ILD: Wake Induced Lucid dreaming

WILD

The idea is to remain aware until you start dreaming (and then hopefully to continue

being aware). To do this you must relax, and when people start to dream they can

experience strange experiences. People may use meditation to help them.

ILD: Wake-Back-To-Bed

WBTB

This technique means that you sleep for between 4.5 and 6 hours, get out of bed for half an

hour or more, getting completely awake. Then you read something about lucid dreaming or

doing other stuff, you could drink something like a LD drink, and then get back to bed. This

method has proved to help with getting lucid dreams.
