I've been a big fan of Dreaming Life since I stumbled upon it a few months ago. Ben posted an interview with Chad Watts today that I found expecially interesting and inspirational.

Here is an expert that struck me:

...I realized that they key to inducing lucid dreams is not so much what you do as when you do it. We all wake up several times during the night but since we go right back to sleep we tend to forget about these brief waking moments.

Those moments (I call them Doors because they are gateways to the magical lands of dream) are your access point to the lucid dream world. The trick is to stay conscious enough to intend/ visualize a lucid experience while falling back asleep. This is tricky at first as your body wants to go back to sleep quickly and it can be hard to concentrate. Practice makes perfect and even a little effort will produce good results.

Besides looking for Doors, be sure to practice a relaxation technique before falling asleep and form a clear intention to find the Doors. Once you find a Door, practice the induction technique of your choice (there are many to choose from - just do a Google search)...

to read the rest of the interview.

I've read in the past (and experienced somewhat) that we wake up several times during the night, usually around REM cycles. This seems like the perfect time to do WILD's. I really like his use of the term Door here.

I highly recommend that you read the full interview.
