My Technique For Lucid Dreams

I tried the banana thing last night. I remembered the dream, which is better than usual, and it was in better detail than usual, but no lucidity...

Aha! So that's why we have the best REM later! Does that mean we become more aware, the longer we sleep - so the more chance of a lucid in the morning?

Im trying this now. I ate a banana, and now its 3am, I went to bed at 9pm, I'm just about to try and go back to sleep.

i tried it, ate a banana at 11 woke up at 4 then stayed up about 15 minutes then fell back asleep but nothing happened.

i did this again last night and became lucid, but i then woke up.

Yeah, I didn't become lucid, and my dreams were'nt any different either.

I had a recent LD the other day.
I rarely have LDs now because I've stopped pracitcing reality checks.

But my alarm was ringing like crazy, and I didn't hear it while I was sleeping, and dreaming..

And I ended up waking a little bit late for school. But it was a cool LD!

Anyways, I want that again.

I'm gonna try it tonight, so I forced myself to eat a banana even though I'm really full.

let's see what happens :yumdumdoodledum:

cool! Report back if it worked!

w00t! This has been giving me countless LD's!

It is a book called Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by steven LaBerge, and is generally reccomended for people interested in Lucid Dreaming to read. I can't speak for it though, I never bothered getting it. You probably don't need it, but considering its popularity among LDers, it is a good idea, but definitely not an "essential to anyone intersted".

Yeah, the best time to LD is about 5-7 hours after going to sleep (generally early morning), and it is most common for people to LD during those time periods, as the REM sleep is more frequent then, thougn LDs while you are about to wake up naturally are common too, as you are going from subconsious to consious, and therefore have more chance of getting Lucid, as all Lucidity is is getting consious in your subconsious dream.

This sounds like an interesting tech. I haven't had luck with much else (5 LDs in a year and a half) so I might as well give it a try.

ah i wana try this thing so bad, but im still not sure what to think about. what is there to think about in lucid dreams? or are you supposed to fantasize?


What do you guys think about when trying this.
