A practice of becoming aware that one is dreaming while in the dream state, allowing some degree of conscious control.

What creators think

Jack Conte and Tim Ferriss both recommend lucid dreaming, each from personal practice. Conte describes it as transformative for pattern recognition — he and his partner spent a month documenting the process, and he says dream keys helped him identify recurring negative thought patterns that carried over into waking life. Ferriss claims he used it during high school wrestling to run additional training sessions at night, and felt a direct performance benefit from doing so. Ido Portal and Rizwan Virk each mention it in passing as one practice among several, without recommending it.

"In high school, when I was competing in wrestling, I would do additional training sessions at night in my dreams. I'm not making this up, and I felt like there was a direct translation to improved performance."

Used for: Navigating and exploring sleep/wake transition states

"Some people might be familiar with the lucid dreaming or the dream yoga or the sleep yoga — various practices — and waking up in the middle of the night also allows you to appreciate something else, something different."
