      Just to put it in plain words...

      There seems to be this idea that in order to reach the dreamstate that you must have sleep paralysis and be in an REM state.

      No. That is wrong. On my lunch breaks at work, if I have any leftover time, I go take a 10 minute nap. Most of the time, if I'm relatively tired, I fall asleep and begin to dream almost immediately. It's not REM. I'm definitly not experiencing sleep paralysis, hell, half the time if it's a really active dream, I'll physically trigger movement in my physical body, and eventually that takes me out of the dream. That however does not happen at night. I never move my physical body, telling me I am paralyzed.

      It seems to be pretty confusing to people just getting into this whole thing. There seems to be this idea that lucid dreaming is only possible at certain times. Of course I'm not accusing anyone of saying that, but even last year when I joined, I got that impression. That only early in the morning, or after a specific amount of sleep (WILD for the most part) but that's not true. You can have a lucid dream anytime you can dream, and you can dream anytime you go to sleep, it's up to you to remember.

      Peace.

      its called non REM sleep, a dream like sensation when in tranition into sleep, the brain waves at this current state are in fact the same ones you get while daydreaming

      Bump this. As a new member to the community I can honestly say Rainman is 100% correct here. I was initially given that impression from all the tutorials/posts and everything. That would explain why right now the only time I'm attempting to LD is WILDing after a Wake back to bed time of 5 hours sleep

      Thanks for bumping this, i actually found it really confusing also about whether dreams only happened in REM or not, though id like to know a little more about the differences between NonREM and REM dreams
