During my research, I focused on a method to induce lucid dreams, i.e., to become aware of dreaming while in a dream. The method is called wake-initiated lucid dreaming, or WILD for short. It’s a mind-bending concept: the idea of crossing over from the wake state to the dream state with unbroken awareness.
You wake up in the middle of the night, but instead of rolling over and drifting off, you fall back to sleep without ever losing awareness along the way. When this happens, you see a dream that’s unfolding before you eyes, as I showed in one of my work-for-fun projects︎︎︎
In this video, the character plunges into the dream world and undergoes a series of fights across several scenes with intensity and confusion. Wild!
