Thread: Lucid in REM and Non -REM: Your experiences?

Hi all!
I've been trying to catch up on 2 months of posts.
I saw mention of gaining lucidity in all sleep stages...
Although not new to LD (lifetime of spontaneous LD), I am a beginner with trying to achieve lucidity at will. SantaDreamsToo was bold and brave enough to step up to the plate and adopt me (woohoo!)

My question centers on gaining lucidity in both REM and Non Rem dreams, and who else out here has had similar experiences?
The more I learn about LD'ing, I am realizing all that we can do in our dreamlands.
However, for me, I come from a family plagued with sleepwalking...
For ME, most of my sleepwalking Has been very lucid; I know what I am dreaming and I seem to be acting it out...Only this year have I learned you can take control of your dreamworld once you gain lucidity. Still, my LDs are spontaneous. I've had just a handful of willful LD's.
So far in ALL my REM and non REM sleepwalking dreams, the ones I am Lucid in, I just go along with the dream. BUT there is a distinct difference from being Lucid and non lucid, and obviously I know this difference.
My sleepwalking was taking me outside (even crossed MX border on mining job ) too many times, so I used Silva Mind control methods relentlessly to stop it all. I have been successful for about 5 yrs now.
I think in my obsessed quest to LD, I am rekindling sleepwalking.
2 of 3 LD's the other night, I was sleepwalking again, dammit.

I know you must be in sleep paralysis during REM by definition. Not so in Non-REM. blah blah blah.
I just returned from 10 days of Stephen Laberge's Dream camp...pretty dang cool...guy knows his stuff!

Anyone else offer advice? Experience?

SOmeone else mentioned he was a 2 hour at a time sleeper...I am too. WBTB method seems to do best for me. WILD, still working on it...
