I heard of this technique many years ago. There was a group in California that used it. They sold finger and toe separators for use in the night, since it was claimed that any other separators would fall out during sleep. I never tried it.
Here is another technique for lucid dreamers:
First, one must be able to sustain one's self in the dream after awakening. Once one has the ability to stay there without waking in the body, and has learned to traverse about, fly, etc., then try this.
Look around and find an inanimate object (chair, rock, whaatever). FOCUS the attention on the object. After a second or two, command yourself to AWAKEN. Do this out loud in the dream. If you are not able to stay in the dream, yet, you will simply wake up. If, as stated earlier, you are trained to hold the dreaming awareness, then this technique will move you to a higher, more fluid world! The dream world you start in will fade away in about a millisecond, and you will find yourself in a new one. Notice what you are wearing in the first world, and take notice again in the next one. The clothes will show you that you are wearing much less of your worldview in the higher place. Try this until you can stay in the new world; it will be a challenge at first. The technique will allow you to go even higher, if your baggage and inventory will accommodate it. In each subsequent dreamworld, power works differently. Emotions might create the environment, or thought, or knowing, etc. This works well for the advanced dreamer. Good traveling!
