How long does it take to get REM Rebound?

Soon enough (summer) Is coming around in a month or so. How long would I have to stay awake for to have WL vividness in my dreams? Most I've gone is probably a little more than 24 hours or maybe 2 days Idk really, I was crazy back when I was 9. Also, how long until I start dreaming while I'm awake, that would make it so easy to just fall right into a WILD

Staying up is the last thing you want to do to have LDs... how can you expect to have a lucid DREAM when you are AWAKE?? If you want REM rebound you need to take REM suppressors--and the rebound will happen after 2-3 sleep cycles. Hope this helps!

Less sleep = less rem, right?

Less sleep = less rem, right? Yes... if you were to skip one nights sleep then the next night you would have REM rebound. The problem is the timing of the rebound. REM rebound is mainly used for WILDing. If you were to stay up one night, then go to bed the next, the REM rebound would be with the very first sleep cycle. And there's where the problem lies. It's nearly impossible to WILD straight from wakefulness... even after skipping one nights rest. So you would have the rebound before you're even able to WILD... The ideal thing to do is take some REM suppressors before bed, then wake up after 2-4 sleep cycles. It's at this time that you will have a rebound. Hope this helps!

Ah I see where you're goin' . I guess I'll just MILD it then, I don't have any REM suppresents edit: Also, I have 5-htp 100mg should I start taking that for dream vividness too?
