ok iv been laying on my back Im not stressed at all no anxiety and don't have sleep depression

You can lay in any position but I find the back the easiest
I breathe through my nose only because my breath smells horirble in the morning. I breathe automatically though.
Hands are to my side.
Feet .. I don't really know. How ever they are comfortable.
I have yet to do it with music ( I use my headphones as ear plugs though. )
I kind of look like a mummy with a headphones and sometimes a sleep mask!



I wake up naturally at 5:45. I get up, put my head phones in and lay still in my mummy position.


I forget about my body and my ear starts to ring (your ears won't ring.. they might but I doubt it) so I know I am close. I visualize things like a V-WILD. Soon the image gets quite vivid and in my face and I think I fail... It is just a False Awakening and I always tell myself no I am not dreaming I failed because I can hear the TV... ALWAYS DO A REALITY CHECK

hmm I always try it in the afternoon and before bed I wonder if thats my problem

I have no idea why I said depression I meant to say deprivation lmao

lol iv done that before... I get enough sleep but I never go to bed at a set time would regulating that help and would waking up in the night and WILDing help

You try it at very hard times!

Set your alarm for 5-6 hours or so after you fall asleep.

If you are in SP beware of hallucinations They won't bite.

ok I was thinking about doing that but I live with a family of 6 do you know a good way to use a cell phone vibrator to wake up?

I've been trying SP since February of last year lol.
It's over-rated IMO

DILD ftw!

1. do you lay on your back of stomach

Back, or your side, whichever is most comfortable for YOU.


2. do you breath through you nose or mouth

Debateable. I breathe through my nose.


3. where do you put your hands

You can keep them by your sides but it really does not matter as long as they are not constricting you or in an uncomfortable position.


4. what position do you put your feet in

Wear socks, it helps. Keep your feet as they are relaxed...you need not try and force them into a certain position.


5. what position do you put your head in

I lay my head to the side.


6. do you listen to music

No.


7. what other things do you do

I take Nike's advice.

hello

i think it is important to be comfortable, as any discomfort gets bigger and bigger = mega distraction.
but for me the most important aspect of the sleeping position is to go back to sleep in the exact same position i woke up in.

this is important for DEILD, as for some reason when i get back into the sleeping position i woke up in, i start to remember my dreams i just had + i feel sleepyu very quickly

1. On my side. If I lay on my back, my neck gets sensitive (it's sensitive, so I like always need my shirt to be on my neck).

2. I try to breath through my nose. I usually don't because it's hard to breath through it (I guess it's mucus or something).

3. On my sides or under my pillow (when laying on my side).

4. Any position that feels comfortable.

5. Any position that feels comfortable.

6. Yes. It helps increase my dream recall.

7. Meditating.

how are you training him to have sp if you havent even had a lucid dream yet?
