Dr. Denholm Aspy out of Australia had a study recently published investigating the effectiveness of RCs, WBTB and MILD on lucid dreaming. The study was covered in a good number of different news outlets in the last week, including the magazine Newsweek.
From the abstract:
Results showed that the combination of reality testing, WBTB and the MILD technique was effective at inducing lucid dreams. Several factors that influenced the effectiveness of the MILD technique were identified, including general dream recall and the amount of time taken to fall asleep after finishing the technique.
Those of us who use the MILD along with WBTB can attest to the effectiveness, but it is great to see scientific research to back it up.
I see he also has several other studies including one on the SSILD technique (my favorite) which showed it to be effective but the study is still under peer review according to his website. Other studies cover dream recall as well as the effect of "B" vitamins on sleep and dreams.
You can do a 'news.google' search for 'denholm aspy lucid' which finds some of the articles that the study inspired or a regular google search of websites to find more info about him including his website outlining his research. I don't have any connection to him but I am happy to see actual peer reviewed research on lucid dreaming techniques.
If anyone finds a free, legal copy of the full study, please post where you found it. I'd love to read it in it's entirety.
