Thread: don't WBTB, stay up!

Staying up the extra time will most likely only exhaust you. Your concious mind will have more trouble staying alert and aware during a lucid dream. Should you manage, the chances of remembering the dream are also reduced.

Stay up until your eyes bulge out and pop out! And you still will not lucid dream. The worst idea to use is CAT or the so called Polyphasic sleep where you deliberately upset your sleep cycle to have ?? 0 lucid dreams.

IMJ

I have tried using a WILD technique before when I was really tired, it allowed for the easiest lucid dream ever.

I don't think I will have a problem staying focused in the dream, if I am tired I don't think my conscious mind will mind. You sleep to recover your body, my body will be asleep.

The last time I was really tired and got into a LD I found it made the whole experience a lot better. You body becomes so much more relaxed and it lets your mind flow into the dream. It's a really good feeling.

When having Lucid dreams some of them I have experienced and not woken up after, my dream continued and I became not lucid. I remembered the whole part which I was Lucid for and not the rest of the dream so I am not worried about not remembering the dream.

IMJ.. What? Why wouldn't I be able to do it?

im not so sure if this will work, because the reason that you use WBTB is because you have more chance of entering REM quicker, because you were already dreaming just before.

but i will still try it though.

Next time I have to keep Lucid Dreaming on my mind.
I was reading about relativity and some other stuff before I went to bed and so I just fell asleep.

It probably also didn't help that yesterday I slept from 12-6pm and then waited to 6am to try it. Usually I stay up for around 14 hours in a day, this probably means I was more aware than usual anyway.

I will set up a regular sleeping time from now and try in a couple on nights.

Yeah, this is what I thought too.

I have had a dry spell for a while.

Proven tests to wake an hour early, read on lucidity for an hour, then go to bed reciting in your mind that you will Reality check and go lucid when you enter a dream.
Also try to see yourself doing the RC too in your mind...all the way to sleep.
Must be the last thing on your mind.

I did this this morning and had a sex lucid dream, total control and as it faded I spun on the dream bed I was on and in about 10 secs of spinning and wishing it came back!

And watch out for false awakenings too...I woke with my wife under the covers (her breasts were bigger than the other girls) and I RC'd again on the off chance and I was right...see she is in the US at the moment in waking life. lol.
Your mind will try and trick you from having lucid fun!!

Stick to the Stephen LaBerge proven techniques and you should be ok.
All the other stuff people try is good but will all be trial and error.
I try to stick to the tests done already and save myself the effort.
Lets face it....its hard enough to develop the techniques as it is.
