Thread: Lucid dreaming in non-REM sleep?

It might be worth it to read around about nREM dreaming. Dreams outside of REM are not usually what we typically think of as dreams. If you learn to hold your awareness through all stages of sleep, you immediately become familiar with the different mental states associated with each. It is very interesting stuff. We tend to label and categorize things as "REM" or "HI," for convenience, but is pretty much a gigantic clusterf**k of confusion and messy thoughts.

For example, when people WILD, they often fall asleep earlier than they realize. They hover in the early stages of sleep, and only think they have actually fallen asleep when REM and dreaming kick in.

Being conscious during stage one is just damn chaotic, you can't really describe what you've experienced after you come out of it.

And how does one achieve that?
