Has anyone been able to Induce a LD while in a car?

hey um, Well tommrow me and my family are going to Florida for a week and where DRIVING from Toronto, Canada. The drive is approximately 24 hours but because we'll probably stop inbetween for gas or something so it may take even longer. I was wondering if anyone had succes getting lucid while in a car.. This may not be possible and if not ill just sleep but driving in a car for 24 hours, ill need something to kill off the time...Im guessing depending on the noise level i may be able to do a DILD but that may not be to realiable... any suggestions?

Well if you can almost choose when to sleep its perfect.
You have the different sleep setting which often helps Lucidity.
You can get someone to wake you at a time you like, or frequently.
And you actually have slight movement from the car which helps too.

I haven't had a lucid in a car before, but some cool dreams on trains and stuff.
Good luck.

I love sleeping in a car, ever since I was a little kid I've always been able to sleep perfectly in a car the ride is relaxing to me.. and yeah I've had some lucids before in cars but cant really remember them because its been a while since I drove long distance in a car.

Sleeping in cars is easy for me, as well. I think the vibrations of the moving car help in some way.

Ive hadd a few non lucid dreams in the car, but i was really tired and had a bad night , or didnt even sleep that night.

Oh.. Damn.

I've never thought of that!?

Always, when I'm driving long distances, my eyes keep turning off and just close (or it feels like it) so I try to force them open, because I've always wanted to just watch what goes on out there and daydream.

But I could just let it, and dream instead! Perhaps lucid!

Cool. Thanks.
Other than that, I've never actually fallen asleep in a car. I'm very certain that I can, I've just never done it.

It does also sound like the perfect lucid enviroment, constant movement and sitting position should up your awareness...

I've found that it's dangerously easy to fall asleep while driving long distances. But it's not a sound sleep, I always felt myself fall asleep and woke myself up just when it happened. As a passenger I have a harder time falling asleep. I would try doing something to be really exhausted at the start of the car ride, then try to stay awake as long as you can until you really can't stay awake any longer. Then just lean against a pillow and try a WILD. If that fails, there's always DILD.

That car has great mileage!

Your odds will probably reduced. It's hard to get consistent sleep in any transportation, and even if you do fall asleep completely you might not remember your dreams. It's definitely possible though, I had an LD in a plane once..

Just don't try it while actually driving.

Well duh ... :P

I don't see any reason that you shouldn't be able to become lucid if you're able to fall asleep. I don't do a whole lotta sleeping in cars, but I did once have SP in a car.

Imagine hitting SP while being behind the wheel

D:

Hallucinations, loud sounds and vibrations, combined with a car crash and being paralyzed. Oh and Old Hag aswell.

Then some idiot paramedic wakes you up from the lucid.

As stupid as it would be, it would also be that much more awesome to even attempt to LD while behind the wheel. Think of the pwnage index, people!
Like Maeni said, imagine hitting sleep paralysis in the middle of it, and describing all of this to people afterwards, if you survive!

Someone should start a thread about extreme places to try WILDing, whether they're suggestions or things that people have already tried.

Someone who isn't me should start that thread >.>

While skydiving!



Ok enough with the off-topic from me ._.
'Specially since it's not the senseless D:

I think trying to lucid dream while driving a boat would be your best bet. If you're in the ocean, it'd be hard to crash into anything. Or to take it one step further, attempt a lucid while driving a boat, pulling someone behind you on jet skis. Just make sure to wear a life jacket ;)
