Thread: What Detains?

Ok I thought about this: What about attaining Lucidity by eliminating everything that could possibly make you not have it? By going against all that can make you not have an ld.

E.g, To attain wet lips: stay out of the windy cold air (LOL bad example but anyway). Hang on, the correct word might be: sustain

I wonder if there's research on this, or maybe there already is... What do you think?

Unfortunately lucid dreams don't tend to come naturally merely because there's nothing stopping them. It does take effort. Certainly if there is something stopping you even though you are trying (say, if you don't get enough sleep or something) then you should try to resolve this problem.

How much sleep would you suggest for a 16 year old? Just curious.

I think the amount of sleep we need increases with age, levels off a bit, then increases again.

Since you're still at that "growning stage", I'd recommend getting as much as possible (at least the recommended 8 hours). It is in stage 3 of sleep in which our bodies repair themselves and perform other functions such as growth and development.

So you should not only try and get much sleep for lucid dreaming reasons, but also for health ones.
