Thread: The Timer Method and the obvious way to allways DILD!

The first thing you have to know is why this works. It's works because everytime you wake up and then get back to sleep, you actually sleep deeper than before, and therefore the trance is stronger and the dreams are more vivid. This is called Fractionation.

There is no science behind Nicholas Newport's Lucidology 101, light sleep (that is, REM) is more conductive to lucid dreaming than deep, Non-REM sleep. Disrupting your sleep pattern actually results in lighter sleep, producing more REM (thus more dreams) and a higher state of consciousness and awareness, and therefore lucidity. Dreaming is not a 'trance' and 'fractionation' is an advertising buzzword. Deprivation results in more REM, and that's it.

I don't doubt that the techniques work, but the so called theory and science behind is actually marketing bullshit. Sorry, McWillis I know you're an avid supporter of Newport.

Someone informing on techniques is great, but willfully spreading misinformation to get money out of eager beginners? No.
