Abstract
The mystery of dreams has always been an area of deep research. Lucid dreaming is when people realize they are awake, but they are dreaming. This work introduces and studies the induction methods of lucid dreams. We investigated whether the lucid dream occurred during rapid eye movement and investigated the ability to learn about lucid dreaming. Studies have shown that lucid dreaming has learnable characteristics that could provide insight into the healing process. We also review the inductive methods of lucid dreaming through cognitive technique and external stimulation. By summarizing different methods and studies, we found that cognitive techniques seem to be more reliable and effective than external stimuli, but no one method is superior to others because most methods produce mixed and contradictory results.
