Thread: Share your experience about successfull lucid dreams while napping.

Yo. Napping is golden for lucid dreaming! Most of my lucid dreams are from naps.
For length, usually do 2 1 hour long naps, for time before nap, varies but i have found out recently that first nap being ~2 hours after waking seems to work best for me personally. The techniques i have success with vary, there have been DILDs, WILDs, DEILDs. As for how long it takes for me to fall asleep, i pay no attention to time because it's not important.

Thank you for your reply. I guess time is not important because you've found your sweet spot for napping. I have had one LD while napping through WILD (read DJ entry here, the day before that particular day I went to bed around 12:30 am, got up at 7:30 am, took the nap around 12 hours after waking up and I woke up from the nap at around 8:30 pm.

So I guess the best moment to take a nap will be in ~2 hours after waking or late in the afternoon, early evening.
One more question, which of the techniques would you say has the most success rate for yourself? DILD, WILD or DEILD?

Thanks

I had my first LD from a nap! I had been looking up tons of random false things about LDing and I decided to nap with intent after work. So five hours awake, then nap. It was about an hour of sleep and after about 10 minutes of dream (running from voldemort) I accidentally teleported to a dream realm that looked like the matrix white room. I picked up a rock and examined it (the rock was crazy awesome vivid looking) and started spinning and then I teleported back, thinking that I had woken up. Ended up waking up right when I decided to stand and fight. the lucid part of it lasted like 30 seconds. Haha.

I get lucids 50% of the time from naps, normally DILD, followed by a DEILD. It is way easier for me to DEILD later in night and in a naps. You should use all three depending on the time you are better at using. I probably have 40% DILD, 60% WILD, but 70% of my WILDs are DEILDs that happen after a DILD. I use the same tech feeling for all three, so I don't have to think of what tech I am using.

BrandonBoss, Scionox & others...do you prepare for or induce your LDs differently for naps?

I prepare for all LDs the exact same.
