Sleep deprivation is a rather commonly used tactic when it comes to lucid dreaming. It basically takes all of the REM you missed and, when you finally go to sleep, stacks up. It's called a REM rebound. |

Thanks Taffy, and no problem |

Seeing as I'm staying up for 24 hours starting at 10 AM today, I'll give this a go when I take a nap tomorrow at 10am. I'll let you know if I get any results or not. |

Yea, but for me it was unintentional! |

Usually every monday I'm doing hmwk untill 5, I only get 2 hours of sleep afterwards but I do have dreams during it, which is good for only 2 hours. If I had longer there would probably be results but I don't feel like staying up tonight, so sorry I can't help. |

Lucid Dreaming since 3/30/10
Ive tried it before and definataly got positive resaults. (sry for bad spelling im tired) |

The idea behind it is solid, as after sleep deprivation you go practically straight to REM. That's because you missed out on regular REM. If you don't mind taking supplements, REM rebound can be achieved by taking 5-HTP you can buy in drugstore without prescription. You take it before going to sleep and for about 4-5 hours, it will supress your REM part of the sleep. So in later part of your sleep your REMs are longer, thus your dreams are longer and possibly more vivid, so you have better chance of geting lucid. This will work even better, if you do a WBTB, for both WILD and MILD/DILD. happy dreams |

Well, tried to do this after being deprived of sleep for 24 hours as I said I would, and I had no luck, I don't even know if I dreamed or not. Simply did what I usually do to WILD, closed my eyes and started to relax and next thing I know my alarm is going off telling me my nap is over. |

I used to miss a lot of sleep. I would stay awake for two or three days on end. It wouldn't always lead to lucid dreams, but it would always lead to CRAZY dreams. Be careful. Sometimes people sleep walk, or do strange stuff when they are sleep deprived. |

thanks for your help Mosake. last night was a little bumpy for me. im pretty satisfied with my results though. ok heres what happened: i watch movies to pass the time all the way up to 4:00. i planned on staying up until 5 but decided to go with 4 (im just simply impatient). I close my eyes for about 30 seconds and then i how a "whooshing" sound that gradually gets louder. i ended up opening my eyes and the sound stops. the thing was that i wasnt even trying to WILD yet. i just wanted to close my eyes for a little bit just to gather my thought. im amazed that i heard audio hallucination just from me keeping my eyes close for a little bit. ii wasnt even necessarily comfortable. just still. anyways, as i said, i opened my eyes and the sound stops. i close my eyes to try to hear the HH again with no luck. I end up falling asleep, and like you Mosake dont remember any of my dreams. i consider this a success however. i was able to hear hallucination with just bout 30 seconds of shut eye. if i had kept my eyes closed, i'm sure i would have gotten more interesting results. i will try this experiment again in exactly one week. i would love it if some other people here can help out and try themselves. |
