Finger Induced Lucid Dream (FILD, occasionally referred to as a "Hargarts' Induced Lucid Dream") is a lucid dream induction technique. It is a sub-type of the Wake Initiated Lucid Dream method. FILD can also be used for chaining dreams. It was originally posted on Dream Views by a poster with the username Hargarts.
FILD, if practiced effectively, allows your brain to enter a dream while allowing the dreamer to consciously remain aware. Essentially, the dreamer is falling asleep normally upon a nightly awakening, and the movement of the fingers gives one something to focus on, so as to prevent the loss of lucidity. Hence, one must generally be very tired to FILD. The main characteristic of this technique is the movement of one's index and middle fingers.

Hence, one must generally be very tired to FILD. The main characteristic of this technique is the movement of one's index and middle fingers.
Here is an example of a FILD attempt:
I wake up after three hours of sleep. I feel exhausted.
I lay back and alternate movements of my middle fingers and then my index fingers, like playing two keys on a piano. Middle finger press; middle finger lift. Index finger press; index finger lift.
After about twenty seconds, I do a reality check. I find that I am in a dream.
Do not count the movement of your fingers in your mind or counting the time, because this will likely keep you awake.
