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.
