Well, I don't think anyone has done this before so, how about this is a thread to talk about whatever while we're waiting to WBTB.
I haven't been around the forums much, but I haven't given up on lucid dreaming. Still haven't achieved it, but I'm still trying. Getting stressed out about it wouldn't help me.
So who else is WBTB soon?
I'm going now, wish me luck.
Tried last night, was pretty much too tired and fell asleep b4 i could actively try to LD.
Yea. That happens to me. Well, I actually guess I technically LDed. I was on dreamviews, and I knew I was dreaming, then nothing, I don't remember anything else.
what is WBTB?
Wake Back To Bed..
You wake up at a particular time, (Dependent on the particular person) but usually at 5am at night.. Where REM periods are most active/longest (or something similar).
Stay awake from 5-60 mins and go back to sleep and try to do any method you want: WILD, DILD, MILD etc.
It works well because your in the middle of your REM periods..
I think i did this last nite, i was dreaming and realized i was dreaming and woke myself up. When i woke up i stayed awake for like 5 minutes then i fell back to sleep and had a false awakening
Nice. I'll be trying WBTB this weekend hopefully. I would do it on weekdays, but I always get to bed too late.
Im not doing a wbtb but im trying out something for another DV memember. Im staying up till around 4:30am or untill i cant stay awake anymore and do some mild affirmations. What happened to the other dv member when he did this was that he went into a chain of lucid dreams and false awakenings. So he wants people to try and see how sleep deprivation affects lucid dreaming. Sorry for posting on here because this has nothing to do with wbtb, im just bored lol.
Nah. That's fine, this thread can be used for that as well. As long as people aren't just spamming this thread, it's fine. I'm about to wbtb soon. I noticed you live in the Bay Area. That's pretty cool. I'm in Livermore. Where are you in the Bay Area. And no, I'm not trying to creep on you.
EDIT:
Stayed up until about 4:45. Then I layed in bed. After a while, using a counting method, a scene started to form, but I concentrated on LDing instead of falling asleep, and I did not enter my dream. I need to start doing FAs, because I had a very obvious one, but didn't realize it. Does anyone know if I was close to lucidity?
I live in redwood city on the. Pinensula. Kinda near. San mateo.Quote:

Alright, I am super shmambered right now(drunk) and I'm and going to see if alcohol affects my lucid dreaming because I had a semi lucid when I was drunk a few months ago so wish me luck. Hahahaha sorry I couldn't help posting because I talked about lucid dreaming while I was at my friends apt about an hour ago. And I meet the cutest girl tonight but it didn't get her number uhh. I can't get her out of my head. Haha sorry about this. I feel like telling you guys haha,
Haha. LDing drunk. That's interesting. I think it'd be a bit hard to concentrate, but hell, if it works it works. I'm planning on WBTBing this coming morning, so I'll probably be on here in the next 6 or 7 hours. Hopefully it will also be a successful LD.
I'm about to WBTB. Just passing by time. Hopefully I can get it soon, I haven't truely LDed and it's been a month already, but I'm commited, so I'll stick with it.
Isn't looking at a computer screen bad if you're attempting to do a WBTB? I'm pretty sure it stimulates your mind or something, and isn't that the opposite of what the object of a WBTB is?
Eh. Idk. I still fell asleep and didn't LD. So I don't think it bothered me. Tomorrow I'll try it without posting in here and see what happens. I need to figure out something that works for me. I would really like to LD soon.
