I've been LDing for (gosh, has it been that long already??) 4 years. I was not a natural, and it took me about 6 months of trying after I read ETWOLD to have my first. My motivation comes and goes, and the frequency of my LDs tends to correspond with motivation. |

Hi jombo22, yeah I'm a big fan of sleep masks myself. I made a thread about them a few months ago when I noticed they also help considerably with dream recall because they keep you in the dark and it seems to be natural light that stimulates the brain into wakefulness. |

Cool! I'm definitely going to wear a sleep mask tonight |

Cool my room has windows on the east side and i always wake up because of light. Ill try using a shirt or something until i get a mask though. Also ill try using different clothes because as you stated, changes make you more aware (i was at a hotel last night and had a vivid dream, i dontthink its a coincidence) |

I've considered trying a sleep mask before. My room is usually a lot lighter after the sun rises, so I might give this a try. I also have to agree with you about changes affecting dreams, particularly for me change in location - when I went on vacaton the week before last I had some vivid and long dreams, the first night back in my own bed I had my first LD. |
|
i'm the same, need it to be very dark to sleep and my room gets very bright in the morning. the problem is I have to get up for work before the sun comes up.. |

For those of you who are interested in the sleep mask that jombo22 uses, it can be bought for a few dollars on eBay. |
|
Does anyone know a shop where you can buy sleep masks? |

You do exactly what I do! |

I just want to clarify.... I don't think it's necessarily the sleep mask that is giving me all these LDs. I think the mask probably helps somewhat (as I said above, because it's a change and your brain might pick up on that and be more active), but I think the main thing that has changed is that I'm now doing WBTB every single day. |
|
Thanks for suggesting that eye mask, I'm going to go get myself one. My room gets really bright whenever the sun comes up in the morning, and something like this would probably help a great deal. |
|
Lucid dreaming makes for a wonderful night's play.
some people turn these into lucid dream goggles |
|
Ordering mine now.. for 3 bucks |

I had been thinking about getting one for a while and this thread made me go online and get one. I really think it might help -- my room is so bright in the morning and this might help with WBTB. I'm excited. |
|
Ok, well my mask came in the mail. Should I do anything specific or just wear it all night? WBTB? Let me know, thanks! =) |
|
i have 3 of the ones he has, my cuzin nose a shop with them in iowa |
|
A shop for noses??? |
|
I just happened to try out a sleep mask this morning after waking up from the sun. I ended up having 3 LD's after I fell back asleep and this is after not having any LD's for months and really not trying for some time! |

|
Definitely gonna try this tonight! |
