What is it called when you get a lucid dream WHILE sleeping?

^ topic. I know it’s not WILD because that’s when you stay awake while falling asleep.

DILD - Using a reality check to discover the person is dreaming.

Yup, there’s basically just two types of lucid dreams WILD and DILD. Eventhough techniques might have a different name they still persue to achieve one of these types of LD.

Two types :razz:

  1. DILD
  2. TILD - Technique Induced Lucid Dream

No because DILDs can be caused by techniques (such as MILD) as well.

But some times you become lucid in a dream for no reason.You just know.So i would call this DILD and the technique induced TILD :wink:

But if you get lucid for no reason it’s still a DILD =X

edit:

The two fundamental types of LD are WILD and DILD.

WILD occurs when you remain aware from being awake to being in a lucid dream, while DILD occurs when you become lucid after you are already asleep, and you were not aware constantly since you were awake. It’s either going to be one or the other.

DILD, in certain contexts, can also mean, specifically, situations in which you see something strange in a dream, and that triggers lucidity, but on a more general level it means the above.
