Sleeping With Noise

**Sappy** · 03-24-2011 01:41 AM

Personally I find it difficult to fall asleep without having a T.V. on or some music playing. I can see this as a problem for having a LD. So far I have only done DILD with some success, but I was wondering if maybe the noise was acting as a distraction. I figured doing a MILD would help in the odds of having a LD, but again I can't sleep without some noise.

Are there songs or stuff that would assist in falling asleep and having LDs, or if anyone as suggestions or anything to add it would be appreciated.

If you want noise, turn on a fan or white noise. You could also try Binaural beat if you think that may help and if you can sleep with headphones on

The noise could work for you as a dream sign, alerting you that you're in a dream. You may want to try out some binaural beats, like DreamerStatus said, or some EILD audio tracks. You can find out more about EILDs from the tutorial section (linked below).

Cool thanks. I'm gonna try the binaural beats tonight. I found after a little research that 38-90 Hz is supposed to aid in LD, I found one on youtube and I''ll post back on here in the morning how my experience was. (granted one day is not enough case studies)

Thanks again for the help.

I tend to like having a fan on and it has never been a big issue for me. I've had DEILDs and maybe a WILD or 2 well the fan was on.

The binaural beat that I used did not have any direct effect on me that I can say for sure. Though when I fell asleep to it I had a cool dream, but had poor recall.
I might try it again with a different beat tonight.

Ummm.... have you been to my site??

Try putting on soft music and imagine/visualize an ice skater moving to the music.

I always sleep with my computer on and it's kinda loud. In the beginning it helped me to sleep lighter, which is good for lucid dreams as I understand. But now I got used to it and don't even notice noise while sleeping. Now I probably should try to sleep in silence.

I think it's the same with TV. If it helps you to fall asleep and don't stop you from seeing normal dreams, then there should be no problem with lucid dreams as well...Just make sure there're not going to be any horror films at night
