dreams because they stem from the most basic approach. They are controlled by the cognitive

functions within the brain. Lucidity can be onset by asking the question,

"Am I dreaming?". Consequently, a reality check is performed

as a test to validate this question. The key to mastering DILDs rests in executing

routine reality checks throughout each day while encountering unusual experiences, dream

signs, or dream anchors. Additionally, strengthening self-awareness

will facilitate in achieving more frequent and spontaneous DILDs.

recent and easily recollected dream.
