Jim Kwik explains how to trigger lucid dreams by waking briefly in the night, staying awake a few minutes, then falling back asleep while keeping your mind conscious. He recommends tracking REM sleep with devices like Whoop or Oura Ring to understand your sleep patterns first.
Prioritize your quality of sleep, greater REM sleep. Some of you like to measure it with a Whoop or an Oura Ring, and this is going to increase your likelihood of lucid dreaming. There are also plenty of lucid dreaming techniques. You can experiment with these various techniques, such as a really famous one called WILD, Wake Induced Lucid Dream technique. So this involves waking up during the night, staying awake for a brief period, and then returning to sleep while maintaining your awareness. I find it rather difficult to be able to duplicate, but some people, they really gel with it. It really resonates for them. So lucid dreaming techniques increase your chances for directly entering a lucid dream from your waking state.
