Thread: My way of getting lucid (100% success so far)

that would make sense, if i didnt live in nevada. =/

It's usually already freezing in my room (no heater) so I don't know if I can get to sleep without my doona but I'll try this tonight.

if its warm enough for me to fall asleep this way then i wont wake up

That would work if there was some machine that would pull my sheets off the bed in the middle of the night! But there isn't... And I think I'd get a cold pretty soon if I tried this...

I may try it like once in the Autumn, though!

Just have it so the bottom half of the quilt is off the bed but the top half is on you and the movement of your body will push it off. Seriously, I have had 4 dreams in a row using this.

LOL that's funny! I woke up at 2 something (I think it was right after my REM period ended) and there were no covers on my bed. I was cold even though it was summer (I've heard your body temperature drops when you sleep) so I had to get up and get them. I think this might have been when I tried MILD, but I'm not sure. But that IS a very good idea, especially to use with other techniques! It's like a special kind of alarm clock!

Hmm a machine that pulls off your sheets in the middle of the night: That should be doable. Maybe more a sort of Mechanism.

However what exactly is the meaning of this? Cuz I live in Holland and ATM we're having a very tropical summer. Eventhough it's been raining alot the last 2 weeks it's still very warm and moist around here.

So what do you mean to do? Sleep in a relative cold temperature, wake up pull your sheets over yourself and go to sleep in a much warmer temperature?

You could probably do that more regulated and controlled using a adjustable heating. Are you sure that your vivid dream-results weren't incidental?

30 degrees celsius in my room ... it's summer wtf?!

Obviously none of you have air conditioning xD

That would work for me, although I usually wake up anyways in the middle of the night.

If you want to achieve this in the summer, simply sleep with an extra blanket or two.

I'm pretty sure it would be hard for most people to go to bed in the summer with extra blankets.

Turns out this only works in single beds... I guess you could use an alarm clock or something. You just need to wake up but not be really awake so you can go back to sleep really easily.

THAT my friend, is called a WBTB.

Yeah thats WBTB and usually has a high success rate and lucky me I have been doing what you suggested for a while now except I sleep with a blanket that has thousands of holes in it (Not like a ghetto blanket thats just how it's made breather holes if you will) so at night when the AC kicks in I start to freeze and get under the sheets with that blanket on top and BAM LD's it is a very good suggestion I do it myself and works very well.

How long do yoiu stay up when you WBTB? I've stayed up for about an hour, and that almost worked, but that's not my point so nvm. How long do you usually stay up?

Well most people say 60-90 minutes, some people say 30 minutes, some people say enough to turn your alarm clock off and get back in bed, some say don't get out of bed just stay still and then go back to sleep.

I have had success with all of the above, but if when you wake up you don't move or open your eyes and just fall back asleep that In My Opinion has the highest success rate for bringing about another dream.

If you stay up for a while you may be to awake to try and go back to sleep. So what works best for me is the shorter I remain awake the higher the chance of bringing about another dream is.

Very Interesting. I'll try that tonight.

Don't move or open your eyes - I think that's called DEILD, dream exit induced lucid dream. Too bad I can't use that with an alarm clock... I never can wake up without it. And its hard to turn of an alarm without moving...

I dun get it, are these lucids you are having, or just regular, vivid dreams? Because other than the title you are suggesting that you just have regular vivid dreams by doing this.

If you are talking about when you wake up in the middle of the night, then around 30 seconds for me. I just pull my quilt up and lay down.

It's not WBTB, it's DEILD. You have to FULLY get up in WBTB.

Well it's not really set in stone that you have to get up think about the words used for the acronym.

WAKE BACK TO BED. So you WAKE UP and GO BACK TO BED. The tutorial states that you should be up for 30+ minutes, but it's just guidelines as to what you need to do. If you really want to be technical you could say that WBTB is the same as WILD these are just labels for sets of information no need to take it as law.

I am yet to try this but seems like a good idea, definately promising considering it will trigger a slight awakening to pull the covers back over.

I don't think there's need for such a reaction. There's quite a difference between the two.
