Summary
AI-generated from the abstractLucid dreaming can provide benefits like reducing nightmares and boosting creativity, but insufficient dream control often limits these advantages. To address this, three modular somatosensory cues were designed for use during lucid dreams to enhance body control. The process yielded insights into designing systems that support lucid dreaming, offering a practical approach to improving dream control.

Abstract
Lucid dreaming can offer many benefits, such as reducing nightmares and enhancing creativity; however, insufficient dream control may limit these benefits. To remedy this, we designed three modular somatosensory cues for use during lucid dreams that aim to enhance lucid dream body control. Through this process, we discovered several insights into designing systems to support lucid dreaming.
