Thread: Why I don't sleep naked (strange LD induction technique?)

Even when it's summer and really warm in my room, I have to sleep clothed. The reason for that is that the times I've tried to sleep naked, I end up naked in all my dreams. Even though I have lucid dreams, I find it annoying because I spend all my time and energy trying to imagine clothes on my body and finding clothes in my dream to put on. I seem to be stuck in naked mode anyways.

I've heard of other people having the same thing happen to them if they sleep naked. So, I was wondering, maybe this could be used as an induction technique? NILD... Of course, this will only work for those who never sleep naked.

I always sleep naked - and that's never happened to me... was what I wanted to write, however I just now realized that I was naked during my whole first LD!

I thank you for making me remember that old memory.

And for those not sleeping naked; you should!

But yea, try using your nakedness to induce LD, and tell us about it. Good luck!

Does it bring any dream related advantages to sleep naked instead of clothed?

ha thats funny for me I wouldnt mind I'd just walk around naked. one time I wanted to stripe and run through a mall but I think excitement woke me up before i could do it.

Now that you mention it, last time I slept naked, I had a naked dream!

Don't be sad, this could be a very good dream sign! If I were you, I would sleep naked as much as possible. You could get lucid every time you're in a dream where you're naked, and once you're lucid, you shouldn't worry about being naked since it's just a dream, unless the situation calls for being clothed, which wouldn't be too hard.

Also, being naked constantly during lucidity, could help you maintain lucidity. If you started to lose it, you could notice your nakedness and sustain lucidity.

Use it to your advantage!

What an intriguing concept.
Would having a blanket over your body effect this? I can understand that sleeping naked would have you appear naked in a dream since you're body doesn't feel clothed, but maybe a blanket would be enough to appear clothed in your dreams.

Ha, If I do that I frantically search for clothes in my dream.

It can be a great dream sign though.

I don't think i've ever had a naked dream, but then again, I can't ever recall what I was wearing in my dream either. I'll try and pay more attention to myself in future dreams!

Sleeping naked is risky! What if you sleep walked...!!!

I sleep walked out of my apartment and down the road naked once... no not really, wouldn't that be funny though?

A weird thing that happened to me is: once I went to bed clothed, but I woke up not wearing any. I might have sleep-walked or something like that oO

You know why I don't sleep naked? Because I sleep with my door open and I'm afraid my blanket will come off during the night. It could happen, it's happened to my brother... Nnnngggh. His arse was just hanging out in the wind. As soon as I saw it I closed the door to his room as quickly as possible and then attempted to gouge my eyes out with the first thing I could find but those toothpicks weren't cutting it. Anyways this doesn't sound like a preferable induction tech for me but whatever works. It would kind of suck though because once you become lucid you have to summon clothes unless you want to walk around your dream naked the entire time and then you'd have a lot of dreams where you don't become lucid but are still naked which would also suck.
