lucid dreaming all night

[san man]

well i know that REM stage of sleep normally occurs approx. every 90 minutes of sleep. but in the first stage of REM if you become lucid can you remain dreaming lucidly all night instead of in increments of 90 minutes?

No, because the first REM stage would end after 10 minutes therefore ending your dream. I suppose that if you were proficient enough, you could re-become lucid during every REM period therefore allowing you to LD most of the night, but not all night.

Actually, dreams could occur constantly through other stages of sleep, but we may just not remember them at all. I personally think that we remain conscious all night long and that it is only our ability to remember this time that makes it seem different.

Yeah, we do dream durong non-REM sleep..they are just much harder to remember, usually. It is also very possible to have an LD during non-REM sleep. Its just alot harder, just like WILDing straight away when you first go to bed/without any kind of sleep first.

hi there, Every morning when my alarm clock goes off I have trouble getting up, so I started setting my allarm half an hour before I really have to get out of bed. When it goes off I snooze it, so 10 min later it goes off again, and again and again... I go to sleep at about the same time every day and I usually wake up every morning in the middle of a dream. When I snooze my alarm for the first time I can almost imediatly go back to the same dream and again and again. Only after the first time I woke up, the (same) dream appears in HI state and not REM. So I am aware of my dream environment and able to make changes in it. Personally I find these the most pleasant dream time On a side note: I have to be willing to go back to the dream, It doesn't happen when I don't focus on it... but I guess everyone had it that when you woke up you think "wow what an awsome dream, I wish I could go back " I guess you should be able to do this for hours if you try...just remember that your body doesnt go into deep sleep this way,so you won't rest enough
