LuciEntry: Towards Understanding the Design of Lucid Dream Induction
Conference on Designing Interactive Systems July 4, 2025 P. Wang, X. Fang, Gabriel Ducos et al.
Lucid dreaming has mental and physical health benefits, but most induction techniques require extensive practice. A portable interactive prototype called LuciEntry was designed to help induce lucid dreaming using timed visual and auditory cues. Lab and field studies were conducted, and interview data revealed three themes. From these findings and design practice, seven considerations were derived to guide future lucid dream systems. The work aims to inspire further research into interactive technologies for altered states of consciousness.
