DILD (Dream Initiated Lucid Dream) was coined by Dr. Stephen LaBerge, a psychophysiologist who specialized in oneironautics. It is used to refer to any lucid dream where the dreamer becomes aware that they are in a dream while inside it. This is in contrast to WILD (Wake Initiated Lucid Dream) in which the dreamer brings their conscious/woken awareness into a dream whilst falling asleep.

Common methods of achieving DILD include environmental, personal, or cognitive changes which differ from that of reality. When realized in the dream, these tells clue the dreamer that they are actually dreaming, inducing lucidity. Reports of inability to count fingers, inability to read (Text Change Recognition/TCR), and setting abnormalities such as an impossible scenario (e.g., gaining telekinesis or seeing a unicorn) have also been reported to induce DILD.
