Thread: Sleeping Positions and Dreams

I've seen a few threads on this already...

I think, yes. Much like sounds and sensations can make their way into your dreams, I think body position can too. Now... I can't say anything definitive from personal experience...but, I would venture to say they won't always affect how you dream.

I have heard that sleeping in uncomfortable positions is one of the main things that can induce nightmares.

Well I like sometimes to sleep in very odd way.My head and hands are at floor and rest of my body is on bed.I know it sounds crazy but i like 'overlaying' in that position when I wake up.
And hmm, I didn't dreamed anything 'unusual' while in that position. But I think that position and your environment affects to dream. I remember once it was winter and during night my blanket slipped of, at that point I was dreaming that I am at some mountain and that I feel very cold.When I woke up it was so cold ( because my blanket was off me ).

That's interesting. I didn't think of temperature, but it seems that can effect dreams as well!

I used to always sleep on my side, but I the first LD I had I was sleeping on my back so ever since then I've been sleeping on my back. I haven't had any nightmares since then that I remember but that might just be a coincidence.

hmmm interesting whenever i can't make myself ld i flip over onto my back. bingo insta-lucid. and at my friends house we ran out of room so i slept on a cedar chest.very hard and short. i had crazy vivid dreams that night. it seems whenever i'm uncomfortable when i fall asleep i have insanely vivid dreams.
