Lead Image
I created the following image using AI. I think it should be the page's lead image. I placed it as such, but user The Squirrel Conspiracy reverted it.

What do you think?

- AI images are banned on Wikipedia in almost all cases. Please see WP:AIB. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:50, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- Suppose I have my friend who is a digital artist draw a similar picture by hand and then give it back to me. Then can I use that image? Cerebrality (talk) 20:52, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'd give the same feedback you got last time for a different AI cartoon, that a cheerful cartoon doesn't seem appropriate for a serious psychology article. A dream of being a dolphin with a human head also seems quite a strange example to choose. --Belbury (talk) 13:11, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- What sort of lead image would be appropriate for this serious psychology article ? Cerebrality (talk) 13:36, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
Techniques
I believe that the page is missing a section on lucid dreaming techniques(MILD, WILD, SSILD, etc).
Is this something that you think should be added? If so, I would like to write the section on techniques. MikołajLT (talk) 01:49, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- If you have reliable sources, you can definitely talk about the existence of the most notable lucid dream induction methods, or talk about who popularized them.
- If you want to go deeper, you need to tread very carefully, because, you are not allowed to provide step-by-step instructions like a guidebook, see WP:NOTHOWTO Aim551551551 (talk) 05:47, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
