Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD)

To perform the DILD technique, do the following:

Step 1:
Early in the morning, find an ink pen. Doesn't matter what color, just any pen will do.

Step 2:
Take the pen and draw single tiny dots somewhere on your hands. For me, I like to ink a small dot on the palm of each hand or on the knuckle of each thumb.

Step 3:
Now that you have the tiny dots on your hand, as you go throughout your day, you will occasionally see them. When you see them, use it as a reminder to ask yourself if you are dreaming. Stop whatever it is you are doing and perform a reality check.

Step 4:
Look around your surrounding environment, sincerely ask yourself "Is this a dream?". Then find an object, sign, book, etc that has text or numbers on it. Look at the numbers or text and remember what it says.

Step 5:
Now look away for 5 seconds.

Step 6:
Return your gaze back to the text or numbers and see if they have changed. If they have not changed, then you are awake and just continue on with your day to day activities.
