The first is a mnemonic induction of lucid dreams (MILD), which involves making a verbal declaration before going back to sleep, such as, "Next time I'm dreaming, I will remember I'm dreaming." The other method, known as senses initiated lucid dream (SSILD), uses grounding techniques. For a period of 20 seconds, the individual concentrates on their senses — what they see, hear, and feel — before returning to bed.
