So you rmethod is to drink Mint Tea and do the SATs? |

Ok, I've been working on alot of different experimentation on what causes me to have more lucids. Although I did not record most of my findings here as I found most of them inconclusive, it appears I may have a method that works better then anything else I can think of. |

Congratulations! It's nice to see that you're experimenting with different methods to induce lucid dreams rather than going by-the-book. It sounds like you're really getting to understand your body and mind. |

What about exercising concentration during WBTB? I had an idea a while ago of doing a Sudoku puzzle or something during WBTB time, to put yourself in an alalytical state of mind. I haven't tried it yet. Would that work as well? |

hmm interesting. This makes sense though since one of the most popular theories about dreaming and REM sleep is to organize thoughts, memories and information. I too am a procrastinater, lol. I am currently a sophomore in highschool so I guess if I put a lot of effort into my school work I may be able to get a win-win situation where my grades improve and have lucid dreams!!! sweet! I also do programming which can give me something to do on the weekend. I will definately give this a try. I thought about exercising but haven't got around to it and I thought that might help a lot. I do a lot of mental work, but I'll see what happens when I push my self harder than normal and see what the outcome is. Thanks for the advice! Just give me a week or so and I'll report back to this thread. |

I'm definitely gonna giv this a try, have to do lots of math anyway, quite complicated stuff, hard to stay concentrated. So I too am gonna try to push myself real hard in concentrating, do this for a week or so and maybe report back. |

This guy knows what he's talking about. The night after taking the SAT i also has probably the most amazing lucid dream so far. It was incredible. So if you wanna have some awsome lucids, take the SAT. |

Interesting. I may try remembering to concentrate on lucid dreaming on days when I have such concentration requirements. Thanks. 8) |

Reality Check. Now.
I've never actually tried this during WBTB, this is usually before i goto sleep at night. The lucids are deeper when you have them only a few hours into sleep. |

I just read your original post now, and you've brought a fact that I didn't even consider into why I had my first LD. I had spent a fair deal of time during that day frustrated and dedicatedly working on getting video and sound in Mac OSX x86. I mean, I was frantically working to get results, and to my dissatisfaction, it didn't work, and I gave up, then some time later went to bed. I've got five school labs due in the next week, so I'm thinking I'm going to do them all TONIGHT, and see if the mental concentration I put towards those help provoke another LD tonight. |

Well, I'm writing an evil essay at the moment (yes, right at this moment. I'm not really surfing the internet, I'm a hard worker, honest), which would suggest that I should dream better. |

I've done the B6 thing with mixed results, and also tried melatonin which worked . . . ehhh! . . .OK . . . I suppose . . . but I suspected that there was something better. I did a search on the web about herbs to induce lucidity, and I came up with lycoris radiata, an herbal extract from the Spider Lily flower. The dreams I've been having are nothing short of fantastic, and I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this supplement and what were their experiences. Thanx for the tip about the mint tea; I'll definitely give it a try. |

Very Interesting, concentration on something at night is a lucidity trigger? Has anybody had any LDs from playing chess or videogames or doing artwork before going to bed or during the midsleep break? I recently played some chess during the midsleep break a couple of times but nothing came of it. However, I may give it another try. |

hmmm if this method works for me...looks like I have a nice reason to do some work for once |

I think i might have the whole wilding thing skrewed up..right now its 4:50 in monring, i woke up at 4:30 and im gunna be awake untill 5:30 then try and wild. I went to sleep at 10. (Yes thats how desprate i am to go to sleep at 10 on a weeknight to try my third wild) So this is my question...you can WILD but you dont use WBTB? How dose that happen...i thought you could only WILD if / when your body fell asleep it went into REM. --Note i kinda suck at that too...i !CANT! naturally wakeup after dreams and i set my alarm 5.5, 6, and 6.5hrs into sleep EVERYnight and cant ever seem to be woken up from a dream (only happened twcie) And for the past like two weeks my dream recall sucked..the first too weeks i remembered them every morning..pissing me off by the way. Also i want to address the issue of working out it dosnt help lol. I have a bowflex in my room that i workout on everynight before sleep (cept past few night, cuz i broke my fist) no differenace between me then and now. Also for the concentration thing, i am in drafting wich requirs Much concentration (i kno right finally a drafter that works out lol :-D .) And i still have had only had 1random DILD..how do you get LD's just DILD? Or do you wakeup and try MILD? It seems as though MILD is hopless for me sense i cant wake up in REM..so could you please elaborate a little more? Thanks alot --(To author), but if anyone else has a response that would be very nice :-) |

Well i accuily woke up after two REM cylces lastnight but that was after i was awake writing a letter to someone for a hour. Maby i need to do WBTB everynight...or just sleep more? i sleep 7hours pernight weekdays. Lastnight i slept 9hours and the two dreams that i wokeup from were after 6olock. |

Concentrating through out the day helps? I'll have to remember that, I have my GCSE exams coming up in a few months too. Thanks |
