Haha, awesome name. Unfortunately I almost never wake up in the middle of the night unless I set an alarm. |

Hey everyone, I'm very much a noob and have been attempting LDing for a couple of months. |

Funny and interesting. Usually when I wake up in the middle of the night having to pee I get annoyed because it's disrupting my sleep, but I'm gonna try to do what you say and take advantage of it. I assume drinking plenty of water before bedtime will help. |

Oh, that's nice..how easy lucid dreaming can be! Hope it continues to work for you. |
|
Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
LOOOOL! |

Yes interesting indeed. One thing I've noticed about FAs (false awakenings) is that they can be very, very tricky to detect, you can be 100% convinced that you've woken up and are in bed in your room. It's conceivable that you were dreaming the entire time. |

It's not a new method, the feeling that you need to pee just acts as your anchor to stay aware while WILDing. |
|
Haha That's cute. XD Nice one. I would keep attempting this in the hopes that it'll still work for you! |
|
~ until the very end
Ill give it another go tonight |

When you are dreaming,
I am wide awake.
Believe when you see me,
in the mind's eye I wait
while you are sleeping.
If you don't report back we'll know you've wet the bed |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.
Congrats, ixJake, on coming up with a new (and seemingly useful) technique. Keep working with it and see where it takes you--I might try it tonight! |

Let me be the first one who reports! |

Congrats, but what size glasses of water, and how long does it take you to fall asleep? Because it takes me like an hour, and I think I drank too much water, I kept having to get up and pee and ended up taking over two hours to fall asleep and then woke up to pee way too late, only like an hour before my usual wake up time. |
|
I quite often have toilet themed dreams, and I usually have a large glass of water before bed to help me wake for a WBTB. I've always been a bit worried that peeing in a dream might translate into wetting the bed. I'll have a go at this technique, but I would be worried that either I just wouldn't get to sleep again for worrying (!) or would just have to get up to go. |
|
- medium size of glass. |
|
Yes....but there are 10000000 ways to do WILD! for example, in some WILD methods, one must focus on breathing until he/she falls sleep which has never worked for me. |
|
I'm so happy to see people giving this a go, and even having some suscess! |

The egg is the world.
Who would to be born must first destroy a world.
I tried this last night. I drank 5 (!) glasses of water because I'm a fairly deep sleeper... Bad idea. Couldn't really fall asleep because, well, it just felt like the water might come back out when I lied down. So I read my book for like 20 mins, then when I wanted to sleep I already felt like I had to pee... And that feeling just got worse so I just went to the bathroom so that I could fall sleep without having the feeling that my bladder was about to burst. |
