How would you induce microsleeps? What's the difference between a microsleep and just drifting off for a few seconds and then snapping out of it? Or are they the same thing? |

so, I am sort of curious about microsleeping. A microsleep is when you fall asleep for a very short amount of time (a fraction of a second to several seconds). This happens when you are tired, and doing some really boring task, such as sitting in a lecture (or driving ). what I find interesting, is that I always have some kind of fairly vivid hallucination/dream during this. |

well, so far any attempts at triggering a lucid dream from this have been unsuccessful. The way I can trigger them is simply to lay on my bed, usually with my eyes open, when I am relatively tired and it just happens after a bit. But, I can't wild, or get sp or HI, so this is interesting to me, because it is the closest I have been able to come to a wild. It is also interesting to me that this works with my eyes open...anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this... |

Hmm... I may have experienced something similar once. I'm not sure. I was on a bus and I found that if I closed my eyes and relaxed the right way, I could see a scene, kind of like a dream scene only it was only visual and it was quite unstable. I kept slipping out of it, but I could get it back fairly easily and I could also manipulate the scene somewhat. Does that sound like what you've experienced? It was kind of interesting and it was certainly entertaining, but I haven't tried to induce them since then. |

Micro-Sleep occurs if you are sleep deprived and only last in 5-10 second burst |
