A scientist called Eugene Aserinsky discovered REM sleep in 1953.
He observed rapid eye movements at roughly 90 minute intervals throughout the sleep cycle.
Hence the term Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep
The 90 minute estimate usually works, however, you must keep these factors in mind:
1- the length of REM periods increase throughout the night
2- the REM periods become closer and closer to each other
In late morning, you are very likely to be in a REM period because the REM periods reach about one hour in length.
During REM sleep, the brain paralyzes the body and acetylcholine is produced.
I would recommend writing when you go to bed, counting out 90 minute intervals and setting an alarm to ensure you hit a REM period.
For example, if I head to bed at 11:00 pm or so, I would set an alarm for:
12:30 am , 2:00 am , 3:30 am , 5:00 am , 6:30 am , 8:00 am , 9:30 am , 11:00 am , 12:30 pm
I would aim for the later REM periods when the tendency to enter REM sleep is high.
Good luck with WILD- I am looking forward to hear your progress.
Always use WILD in combination with the dream chaining technique to multiply your lucid dream frequency by a factor of five.
Dream chaining technique:
1- dream spin when you feel your dream fading
2- remain still with eyes closed to contrast the motion of spinning
3- you should be able to enter another lucid dream, a DEILD
You might also consider using hybrid techniques (which I call HILD) such as SSILD
These can induce both DILDs and WILDs, as well as DEILDs.
I use a different technique called SSCR, which helps me lucid dream at will.
Hybrid techniques are my favourite lucid dream induction methods.
Tell me when you next attempt to induce a WILD
I wish you the best of luck with your lucid dreaming adventures!
