Aspy and colleagues: testing lucid dreaming techniques

Aspy and colleagues at the University of Adelaide ran the National Australian Lucid Dream Induction Study, asking volunteers to try three techniques for a week: reality testing, wake back to bed and MILD (setting the intention to notice you're dreaming as you fall back asleep).

Combining wake back to bed with MILD produced the most lucid dreams, especially for people who fell back asleep quickly. Reality testing alone made little difference.
