Does waking and falling asleep multiple times affect LDing?

Hi, I am new to this forum and I wished to discuss something...

ok, so the other night I fell asleep around 4:45 am and woke up at 8:00. then went back to bed and woke up at 9:50, then went back to bed and woke up at 10:50. After that I set my alarm for 1:00 pm and tried to go back to sleep but struggled. At the 4th time I fell asleep, The next thing I knew I was experiencing a very intimate situation with some girl and it was the most vivid dream ever; I could hear, feel, and see everything like in real life: unlike any other dream I had before. After that I "woke up" within that dream unaware I was still dreaming (there was no dream signs at all, I felt the same exact way I did around 10:50 when I was trying to go back to sleep). I rolled from my stomach to my back and tried to return to sleep. As I was going back into the 2nd dream dimension, I heard extremely vivid music as though I had an mp3 player hooked up to my brain. I then started to think-out my own song (which just happened to be thrash metal) and I was writing the song riff by riff. I then heard my dad come home and heard crinkling grocery bags and him talking to someone. I "woke up" once more and at this point I realized I was still dreaming because I was inbetween waking life and dreaming. Since I recogonized that I had the possibility to wake up to the real world, I felt as though I could sustain the dream forever. Unfortunately somewhere along the line waking-life thought patterns won over my dream thought patterns, and I finally woke up at 12:54

so I was wondering if falling asleep multiple times affects the vividness and lucidity of the dreams you have

Yes it does as a matter of fact. What you did was like a series of WBTB or DEILD whichever one it is. This can cause you to have more dreams, and increases the chance of having a lucid dream.

Now that it's summer time, I usually go to sleep at like 1 AM (sometimes 5 AM) and then I usually wake up again at around 11:00. I then proceed to fall asleep again and again, resulting in a few dreams. Sometimes I do it until 2:00 PM.

Would it be possible to WILD right after you woke up in the morning if you were still tired enough to fall asleep again?

Yes.

Yeah, actually, some of my most vivid dreams and lucid dreams happenwhen I sleep late. Towards morning I woudl assume your in a lighter sleep, and at a certain point there is only REM, making it one of the best times to dream. Well done brotha G, keep it up.

I have woke up a few times in the course of the night, and it seems to more I do and fall back asleep, the more chance of lucid dreams, or nonetheless more vivid dreams
