Yeah, I used to be really into knowing a ton about this stuff because it was something I kept on having out of my control before - I used to have worsening sleep paralysis when I was young and into my 20s, and lucid dreaming would be sort of a side effect of it... I guess this is what that WILD (wake-induced lucid dreaming) thing tries to actually induce, like from what I was reading you sort of meditate your way into that state and flip your consicousness into a lucid dream. Honestly my sleep was crazy back then and I talked to a doctor who said it was grounds for going for a sleep study and getting tested to see if I had narcolepsy, but I just ended up moving way closer to the equator instead and something about the seasonality of the sun coming up and down at the same time all year round is what a doctor there said could have reset my circadian rhythm as it got more pronounced in dark winter time.
