dild

DILD is an acronym used in several domains. In lucid dreaming, it denotes Dream-Initiated Lucid Dream. In medicine, DILD refers to drug-induced lupus erythematosus, a form of lupus triggered by certain medications.

A Dream-Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD) occurs when a person becomes lucid within a dream after the dream content prompts wake-like awareness. The lucidity arises after the dream begins, unlike wake-initiated lucid dreams (WILD). Characteristics include recognizing dream signs, maintaining awareness, and stabilizing the dream. In many cases, dream control is limited and the dream may continue with partial lucidity. Techniques to increase DILD include keeping a dream journal, performing reality checks during the day, setting intention to notice dream signs, and calmly maintaining lucidity after onset.

Drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILD) is a form of lupus triggered by certain medications. It presents with arthralgia or arthritis, fatigue, fever, rash, and sometimes serositis; symptoms typically develop weeks to months after starting the drug. Serology often shows antihistone antibodies; anti-dsDNA antibodies are less common. Diagnosis relies on clinical features and drug exposure history. Discontinuation of the offending agent usually leads to resolution within weeks to months; corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used for symptomatic relief in more severe cases. Common offending drugs include hydralazine, procainamide, isoniazid, minocycline, and penicillamine.
