Hi welcome to Dreamviews!

You drive a desk as well huh? It can get tedious.

It is true, there is little REM during the deep sleep cycles, however I am 99% sure you are experiencing REM during some parts of the night, everyone does unless there is some type of chemical imbalance or brain trauma involved. Sounds to me like you might need to work on your dream recall a little.

Have you looked into the tutorials? They contain information on increasing your recall. You can also post questions here or PM anyone if you would like more help.

i rarely remember my dreams anymore unless i have a nightmare. is it true that remembering your dreams is the first step in order to lucid dream? [/b]

In a sense yes. Whats the point of having lucid dreams if you cant remember them? . Like seeker said, check out the tutorial to increase dream recall. Also keep a dream journal, it'll help

I agree with seeker. I'm like 99.99whatever % that you have REM cycles later during the sleep hours. For the first like 5 hours of sleep you, you hardly get any, but once you get to 7+, they get longer, thus better chances for good dreams. You'll be fine, there should be no reason for lucid dreaming to be a problem for you. In fact, this deep sleeping thing should help you!

believe it or not, but many people have problems with staying in their lucid dream because of excitement and the rush. Since you sleep deeply, you'll have an easier time stayingin the dream and can get excited all you want. Take it from me, I'm also a deep sleeper(but not that deep) and i can do ANYTHING i want in my dream without worrying that i'll wake up

anyway, good luck

you guys are really helpful! thanks for taking the time to reply. i had no idea that many people can't lucid dream. i always thought it was common. i was asking people at work and most of them have never done it. i cant wait to become better at it. i'll check out the newbie forum and try all the tricks. thanks again!
