Yes, you have to be very sleepy. Either very sleepy wbtb or very sleepy midday nap. If I don't fall asleep within a few minutes, I pretty much know it won't work.

If you lose consciousness in 10 seconds, I recommend you get up for a little while. Everyone is different; know thyself.

Thanks for the info. Are you using the same technique you described in this thread to induce LDs at bedtime too? If so what's the difference in the approach of your morning and bedtime attempts?

Yes, I do but it's much more difficult. It requires meditation and stuff I'd rather not get into it because I know people aren't interested in it, they want quick and easy and that's what I'll (try) to give them.

Always takes me between 30 seconds and 5 minutes at most. Any longer and I know it probably won't happen.

It happens in your consciousness, but it will physically feel like it's happening to you in real life. You'll be in a state of SP, so even if you try to do an actual movement, it will transfer to your "dream body". My advice is: if you suspect you're in SP, and you try to do an actual movement, it will transfer to dream movement which is what you're aiming for.

Aha! Wow it's awesome to finally find someone who has come across the same technique. So I guess it is a shared phenomenon just like electricity, HI, and illusory noise. Is the journal on this website? I'd love to take a look at it, maybe learn a thing or two since you seem pretty experienced in LDs.

I'd say as a rule of thumb, if it doesn't work within a few minutes, it won't work. This is generally the gist I get from my own experiences and feedback from other people who have succeeded with this technique. Good luck.

happy LDing.
