The efficacy of a lucid dream induction (LDI) technique was evaluated. The results indicated that, among previously non-lucid dreamers, a significantly greater proportion of subjects who had access to the technique reported a lucid dream. This group also reported more lucid dreams overall than the control group. For prior lucid dreamers, the technique was found to increase the number of such dreams reported, relative to baseline levels. The LDI technique was incorporated into a treatment procedure for recurrent nightmares. This treatment method was found to be effective in three individuals, although not all of them achieved a lucid dream state. The empirical and clinical findings reported are discussed with respect to previous findings and future research directions are suggested.
