Okay, I got up, but it was kinda late, and my brother was up. Didn't wanna make him find out I was up, so I had to get back to bed. I'll try again tonight :)
I do have the feeling I normally have after lucids/special dreams though.

Excellent, good luck :)
It might not work if you are over tired. I found it hard to get to SP/HI/SI from waking if over tired. This technique only works for me when I get regular sleep, and don't to go bed when tired. I usually wait a couple of days after getting some good sleep then try it when my body clock is in sync. Still give it a try, if anything I am noticed an increase in my dream recall and vividness of dreams!
:boogie:
As above, I have noticed my dream recall and vividness increase drematically since trying this!! And they are certainly on the weird side too.
cant wait to hear your results :D
I tried again last night to try disprove my claim you need regular sleep and not to do this when too tired. And I was right.
The last 5 days have been manic, not getting much sleep, irrregular pattern, okay I had been drinking on a couple of those nights too.
So last night I got 8 hours sleep - will get to bed early tonight again, to see if I get better results, but I did have some really vivid dreams and recall was up from the previous night :D
I'm going to try this tomorrow or Saturday night... probably Saturday, keeping in mind what you've just said about making sure you're well rested. I'll make sure to tell you how it goes. :)
Hey cool - good luck :D
Okay, going to bed now, attempting the technique again! I'm gonna have a lucid :D
Im starting college tomorow, im gonna get a steady sleep schedule for a week and then try this, I'll let you know how it goes
Cheers
I setup my alarm, but apparently I managed to get out of bed, turning it off, and then back to bed, without remembering it at all. Try again tonight, with a bit more sleep.
So tonight is the night, dearest Adam. I'm finally going to try your technique. Kyle and I decided to have an early night's sleep tonight, giving me the perfect chance to try your new technique. I was rather close to becoming lucid the other night with a WILD but coughed myself awake. And this morning I almost had another WILD but lost concentration and just passed out, then I had the dream where I should have noticed I was dreaming to become lucid... still kicking myself. I've had such a dry spell lately, but tonight's the night. I feel it!
Okay this technique should get an award or something lol - Tried it again last night and had another 3 LDs. It definitely requires the following to work:
I can't stress the above enough - So make sure this is what you are doing for it to work properly!
- A regular sleep pattern - Mine is 10:30pm till 7am
- Not to be too tired when trying this since your best dreams are in light REM sleep
Also a few people have reported a HUGE increase in vividness of dreams and a great improvement in their recall, I have notied this too when ever I do this, example last night I remember 6 dreams and three of those LDs :D
Good luck buddy - let me know how you get on!
Nice one! Steady sleep pattern is so important for this to work, you need to make sure you are getting plenty of rest too!
Maybe you are too tired? Do you have a regular sleep pattern? Do you go to bed without feeling really tired?
Might not work then Meghan if you have been up all night not getting good sleep and stuff. You eally do need, as I keep saying; a nice solid sleep pattern with enough sleep for you not to be feeling tired!
Oh and did I mention I DID THE TASK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam, I going to sleep time differs between 23:00 and 24:00, and my getting up differs between 6:30 and 8:30. Sometimes I am really tired when I go to bed though. Is that bad?
By the way, I got to do the technique this night, but my entire body was extremely exhausted after a lot of sports yesterday, so I didn't feel like doing it. Didn't really want lucid :p
It should be ok, as long as your getting enough sleep and are not like knackered by the time you go to bed - deep REM sleep is bad for lucid dreams in my experience, if you can have light sleep because you are tired but not overly tired you will have more success :D
Yeah, it didn't work. But not because I was too tired, but because I wasn't tired enough... I woke up, very wide awake, a few minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off... I was a little disappointed.
Well keep going, I am sure good things will happen. I think since I cut my night short I will be trying again tonight for more lucids :D
Oki, I'm going to bed now. 00:52, so I guess getting up around 6:30 to do the technique is good, right? I'm getting up around 8:30, so I can go to work :)
yeah sounds good - good luck :D
Congrats on doing the task, Adam. :)
... I was all set to try this last night-- went to bed at 11, set my alarm for 5, but my roommate stumbled in at quarter to one and woke me up for a good hour... and even after that I wasn't quite going to call it quits, but I woke up again around four for another hour, :embarrassed: and at that point I turned off the alarm and called it quits. I'm going to have to find a time when my roommmate goes home to try again. :roll:
Ah thats rubbish :(
Do you need another party trick to cheer you up? :D hehe
Meh, I was too tired again, try again this night :p
lol - Maybe you should FORCE yourself to get some good sleep? Maybe I should come over there and force you??? :D
I'm getting enough (sleep), I just like to go back to bed again, because I love to sleep. Guess I'm gonna FORCE myself to do the thing :)
Yeah I am the same, I find it hard not to get bored trying, but you really shouldn't be lying in bed for too long before you are sleeping again. I find I am up for 5 minutes, get back to bed, get all comfy and then think lucid dreaming, shouting it in my mind et, picturing dreams, and pretending to be lucid, then when I get images getting stronger I try and focus whilst letting my body fall to sleep - even if I miss slipping into the dream then (WILD) I still manage later in the night to LD because I have lucid dreams in my mind from waking myself during REM sleep :D
Well im back from my break, I was trying to get my recall back and it worked! So im going to be trying this tonight i really hope i can produce some results!
Good to have you back - Now lets see if we can get you some lucid dreams :D
I got to bed too late, and I didn't want to use precious time. Gonna try again this night :)
