Attaining lucidity on trains?

**ludr** · 06-01-2011 11:34 PM

I'm on a loooong trip from Beijing to Lhasa, Tibet on a 43-hour train ride, and I just can't seem to have an LD on a train. I can't even dream! Maybe this is because I just can't sleep properly on trains. It's 6:31 AM now; should I try to do a WBTB?

Maybe I was focusing too much on the train sounds, since my goal last night was "investigate the incorporation of external stimuli in the dream world" so I tried to imagine being on a really bumpy bus...didn't work. I didn't even sleep a lot last night!

P.S. I'm sending this over the mobile network with a USB adapter on my laptop...cool thing, universal internet access

If you do wbtb technique make sure u can sleep for 6hrs atleast, i did 4hrs last night and i got vivid dreams out of it and some golden oportunities to go lucid. Ex: wearing my work uniform to school and then feeling out of place when i got there, cause everyone else had on regular clothes. lol. Ps. Sorry about the train bro hope u can find a comfortable spot to relax for a few hours. namaste.

Never mind, I'm here at the hotel, so the train thing is moot.

You had a golden opportunity to do some experimenting man! Oh well, I guess the fact that nothing came of it is a result in itself. Where you cannot sleep, you cannot dream. Where you cannot dream, you cannot lucid dream.

Wait, thats a crap result.

Ok, trains = no sleep.

This thread = no surprises.
