Waking Induction of Lucid Dreaming (WILD) is one of the most common induction techniques used by lucid dreamers. In this particular technique, a person goes directly from being awake into a lucid dream. The key to this technique is recognizing the hypnagogic stage. This stage is within the border of being awake and being asleep. If a person is successful in staying aware while this stage occurs, flashes and dots will transform into images, and a person will find themselves in their own dream. Lucid dreaming is consciously perceiving and recognizing that one is in a dream while one is sleeping, and having control over the dreamscape, or the faux-reality dream world within a dream. ...

With low-level lucidity you may be aware to a certain extent that you are dreaming, perhaps enough to fly or alter what you are doing, but not enough to realize that the people are dream representations, or that you can suffer no physical damage, or that you are actually in bed.
Research at the Lucidity Institute has proven the effectiveness of spinning: the odds in favor of continuing the luciddream were about 22 to 1 after spinning, 13 to 1 after hand rubbing (another technique designed to prevent awakening), and 1 to 2 after "going with the flow" (a "control" task).
Its goals are to make luciddreaming known to the public and accessible to anyone interested, to support research on luciddreaming and other states of consciousness, and to study potential applications of luciddreaming.
