Just wondering how does everyone else sleep during a WILD or WBTB method?
For the past 2 years I've been laying on my left side or on my left shoulder having a pillow tucked in my arms
in front of me otherwise any other way it's near impossible to have a LD and I can't figure out why.
I sleep on my back :) But I usually don't WILD in that position, I just attempt to fall asleep in it. Then I wake up because of discomfort and I roll over to my side and it sounds like the same position that you are describing, and I just fall asleep, and become more aware of my dreams.
I can have WILDs laying on my side (either side). But now do exactly as MasterMind says. I noticed that my dreams are more vivid, be it lucid or non-lucid.
I just sleep how ever is most comfortable for me. Usually it's on my left side, sometimes my right, and even fewer times on my back or stomach. I haven't really been paying attention to how my position might effect my ability to lucid dream. Do you think there's a link?
I start on my back and stay there until I am mostly asleep. It keeps me from deep sleep. Then at some point because I am aware (not comfy enough) but very close to true sleep, I switch to my side and transition rapidly into aware sleep.
So, back until so very near transitioning, switch to side to complete the transition.
Pretty much the same as Mastermind said.
On my back. If I don't, I have to use induction techniques to help me along. If I manage to stay positioned on my back and not give in to the discomfort, I'm almost guaranteed to naturally become lucid during the later REM periods, and that almost never happens when I lay on my side.
