So, I've begun the ultimate task to learning to become a lucid dreamer. I'm very very new to the subject still. Anyway, I just really wanted to post why I think lucid dreaming is so amazing. I am very fond of the mysterious, infinite nature of dreaming, unrestrained subconscious, so to speak. I guess my point is, though, that while there are so many reasons why I love Lucid dreaming, I think one of the most practical things it has helped in my life is sleeping more! I'm a Junior in college and I've fallen into the bad habit of staying up way too late for way too many nights in a row, even with early classes the next day. I've always told myself to get on a better sleeping schedule, but I've never really concreted one out. It seems like now,I have for the first time a huge motivation to get more sleep. With rem periods getting longer as the night progresses and dreams becoming longer within them, of course I would want to sleep more. I actually go to bed on a regular schedule now. I've been trying to incorporate a WBTB every night/morning and before, I would've never been able to manage it, let alone procure any positive results with the small amount of sleep I used to get.

Sorry for the ranting, I'm just really excited about all this. If something like Lucid Dreaming can impact my practical lifestyle to such a large degree, I'm excited to know how deep the rabbit hole goes.
