Thread: SP while driving bus, but never at home!

ah, i could not discern what this meant but i do not believe that he was in fact DRIVING the bus otherwise oh wow.

haha, no, I´m not driving the bus, english isnt my first language, so I make such mistakes sometimes
and by the way: I´m a girl

normally I fall asleep extremely fast at home. Often it doesnt even take me a minute and I sleep (which sucks because I wished I could me up a bit longer). So I usually never experience SP, except I was up for a very long time and I´m already half asleep when going to bed anyway.

Sometimes it´s even a bit embarrassing in the bus. It happened a few times that I had this "falling" feeling and suddenly startled up.

Anyway, maybe I´m gonna sit down the next time when I try to WILD. maybe that´s the small difference that keeps me from having SP at home.

I hate that. I done that like three times at school last year while sleeping on my desk. It feel good somewhat but you can't help but startle a little.

sometimes, in the moment, it scares the shit out of me because it takes a few seconds to realize im in bed and not falling in an endless nothingness ness ness

I always startle up when I have this falling feeling and I´m trying to get rid of that. That´s why I´m even trying to get SP at home so badly.

Tried WILD last night, but didnt work. I think music is an important thing for me, because (as mentioned earlier) I fall asleep so quickly. now I need to convince my boyfriend to listen to music in the middle of the night :/
he already wasnt happy when I started with this "alarm clock thing after a few hours of sleep".
I guess I should convince him about LD in general. I bet learning it together is even easier.

You really should bring him into it. You can basically become a god in dreams so it not like he won't enjoy it. Instead of waking him up for no reason, you two could be waking up for the common goal. Show him this forum and go to the dream journal and just search for lucid dreams and how people have so much fun while sleeping.

I tried to get him into lucid dreams so often before! he´s not really against it (he also thinks Lucid dreaming is amazing), but he always says he doesnt have the time to put so much effort into this. I can totally understand that since he´s a workaholic.
He´s already making jokes about me talking about lucid dreaming all the time. He said he probably wont need to do any work for it, because I remind him constantly about Ld.
I do it since 2 years now (sometimes more, sometimes less), but he never had a lucid dream. I´m sure if he had one once he would put some energy into this instead of his work.
But I dont want to force him, of course it´s up to him. it´s just too bad that I feel so horrible when I put on the alarm clock in the middle of the night or annoy him with reality checks.

But at least he´s not trying to get me away from it. If anything he supports me wherever he can and I´m really thankful about that.
