Does any one have any ideas or techniques about lucid dreaming during afternoon naps?
I would love to know more on this too. Lot of free time atm =]. But I do struggle to fall asleep in the day!
What duration are you thinking between getting up in the morning and napping. Any chance of treating it like an extended WBTB?
For me I would be waking up about 10:30 and trying a nap at 2PM. So I dunno!
How bout you dreamcacher?
on a normal day im much like nito89 up for 5 or 6hrs then back to sleep for a afternoon nap. today i got up at 7am went back to bed at 8am and just woke up from the door bell ringing. It is 11am now so i guess wake back to bed extension is still in play if i can get back to sleep before 1pm??Quote:

If anyone can confirm that WILDs are possible during naps, please tell me.
I have tried to WILD in the afternoon many times.
So far it has only worked when I was really really tired.
This usually happens if I don't get enough sleep because I have to go to university early in the morning.
I usually get home late in the afternoon and often have to work on some programming project when I do so.
If during a short break I feel myself falling asleep I know it is worth to attempt to WILD.
I do this in my (very) comfortable chair, which I can lean back to the point where it's nearly horizontal.
I usually also listen to ambient music when I try this.
If it works, SP usually kicks in very quickly. (But it doesn't feel as intense as if I was attempting to WILD during the night)
It's often hard to tell when exactly I've entered a dream though, because they usually start in the very chair I'm attempting to WILD in. (with my eyes closed)
This makes it rather difficult for me to decide when to open my eyes.
If it works, the dreams are usually very vivid, but the dream time feels rather limited.
