      Awake or Sleeping?

      My friend Adam has been able to have lucid dreams all his life. He said ever since he was six he has been living in his dream world every night, without even thinking about it. He didn't even know what Lucid Dreaming was until I explained it to him the other day, (he is now 19). But the thing he told me is sometimes he really wishes he didn't LD every night because he never gets much sleep. He says he wakes up after an 8 hour sleep and feels still dead tired because he wasn't really actually "sleeping." He says he is usually drained because while he is LDing, he isn't really sleeping... does this happen to anyone else? Does it really affect your tiredness? Appreciate any input

      Well it's hard to hear about someone who doesn't want to lucid dream. Unless he is VERY active during his LDs I doubt it will have much of an effect.

      There are even people who feel more refreshed after a LD. So I don't know...

      I think he's pulling your leg. (Sorry I couldn't resist. )

      I would say that the majority of LD's are not so energy-draining.

      Maybe he's having dietary problems or stress?

      If he's so natural at it, I'd guess he did more and more intense stuff. It probably wore him out.

      haha, he could be. I am not really sure what stuff he actually does, but he says when he wakes up he is far from refreshed. I mean, he LOVES having LD's, as anyone would, but he says he wishes he wouldn't have them from time to time as he gets drained... I guess I will have to talk to him more about it....

      Hmmm...it may have different effects on different people.

      Me, for instance: I wake up after an LD, feeling energized and amazingly full of energy. But, the limitation being that i don't have one every night.

      So perhaps your friend is having extended REM periods, and exerting enormous amounts of influence and control in his dream; therefore using up 'brain power'.
