Sleeping in- Can be great for LDs

OK, a little about me first. I basically, "do nothing outside of the dreamworld to get my lucids (that's what I always tell people)". But I do (though this is just what I like to do, though it helps), sleep in on the weekends. I "wake up and fall asleep, wake up and fall asleep", I just love my sleep, and you guys should too since it leads to LDs. I get a good 80% of my fairly large amount of LDs this way. 14 so far this month (I am not saying I'm the best in the slightest, but better then most), though I don't mean to brag, I'm just trying to reinforce my point. So, I'd wake up, still wanna sleep!, then fall back to sleep, and since it's later in the day I at least half the time have a LD-maybe more ofthen then that.

What you should take from this: (my advice will probably only work for those who have had at least a couple LDs, maybe more) if you have extra time to just sleep in, do so, you may just have a few LDs, combine this with WILDs or WBTBs or whatever, or, if you're lucky like me, just try to sleep! I'm sure that this technique, or whatever you wanna call it is only for some people.

Sorry if this was obvious or mentioned before :P, some people just don't seem to try to do this, so I'm tellin you to try this sometime.

excellent words of wisdom. my best ld's usually come later in the morning, so the later i sleep, the better my chances of recall and ld's. i love to sleep in as long as i want with no alarm! i can get long (hour or more) WILDs this way too.

Sleeping in is a wonderous thing...I really wish I could do it more often. I work 6 days a week, and my teachers are slowly trying to kill me with homework. :P Not easy...

lol, this is soooo not for me. I did exactly that today, woke up at least ten times (no exaggeration!) and each time I thought about trying to WILD and though, "nah, I'll do it next time". No DILDs though, I think you're just one of the lucky/more experienced/lucky to be more experienced ones. But actually, I get a lot of my LDs (which isn't actually saying much) when I'm napping.

Completely agree, that's my tactic! S'pose it helps that I don't have a job lol
Sleeping in works nearly every time for me.

I agree, that's how i got one of my first wilds and milds and i remember my mild so clearly and my lucid earlier that night. I think sleeping in is a great way to do do the following methods, maybe wilds, definitely deilds and probably milds.

Im sorry, but I don't really get the sleeping-in thing. Could you explain it a little more clear to me?

OK, well, it is easier to get LDs later in the day, so the later it is, the more possible it is. I read somewhere that your logic is more turned on when it gets later because of like the light, so you're more likely to become lucid. All that I said may not totally be acurate, but acurate enough to where you are in fact more likely to have LDs when it is later morning.

Does that help?

Oh, I think this is definitely true. I always have more dreams on the weekends when I can sleep in.

Well, it can be, but also when it gets bright out in the morning. I wasn't referring to napping though.

I am so confused. It's just basically waking up/falling asleep again over and over?

It can be. If you don't usually sleep in too late, then try to honestly fall back to sleep for a good 20 minutes.

So could you explain the process of sleeping in to me step by step?

It's just sleeping longer than you normally do. Like on Saturdays. That's when most people I know sleep in. I usually sleep until the late hours of the morning into the early afternoon in Saturday. Which is what Savy is talking about; sleeping later to have a better chance of getting to Lucid Dream. :)
