Noise during sleep?

**Invision** · 08-10-2010 12:59 AM

Me, and a ton others i know sleep with a fan on during the night. Now, the 2 lucid dreams ive had were VERY short, my question is, could it be my fan that woke me up while i became lucid? Also, i realize that i was excited when i became lucid, so it could have easily been that as well.

having said this, my fan isn't much louder than a person exhaling with their mouth open.

BUT, could my fan effect the shortness of my LD's in the future? because it is a constant noise, should i even sleep with a fan on if i want to have long LD's? could my fan wake me up while i LD in the future?

Thank you EVERYONE who helps, it is very apprichiated of you.

Doesn't sound like something that would wake you up to me.

Unless you've had problems with it in the past, I don't see how it should affect you when you're lucid. If you however, remember hearing the sound of the fan WHILE in a lucid dream, then you should probably consider removing it.

It's blazing in my apartment. I sleep with a loud ass air conditioner, plus a fan. I guess it would only bother you if you let it.

I"ve always had a ceiling fan in my room, but I don't think that it has ever made me wake up from a LD. I think all mine have been short so far is just because I am still learning to stabalize them.
