Thread: How I Got All 6 Of My Lucid Dreams

Same. WBTB is just the act of getting up and going back to sleep to get an LD. Staying up half an hour and reading LD stuff is a MILD.

It does sound very much like WBTB and the nap one is pretty well documented.

I have wondered for a while though, why do naps work so well?

Heh you keep changing your avatar Alex XD

You are just doing a very very short method of WBTB that's pretty much what I do every single day which is probably why I have lucid dreams every single day >_>.

Naps are pretty much just REM sleep which is why they work so well hence the Uber Man Sleep Schedule or whatever it is called.

I do this every morning also. Although I can't make myself aware that I'm dreaming when I fall back asleep. I have dreams, but can't seem to do an RC or anything in the dream. I've tried entering the dream conscious by reading phrases in my over and over or talking to myself the whole time, but in the end somehow I fall asleep and don't think twice... Anybody have a solution?

BTW, I'm a pretty lazy person so when I lay in bed I want to fall asleep. Say I wake up at 8AM. I'll lay there fall asleep and wake up at 8:30 to 9:00Am. If I don't stop myself I will do this until 12PM.

I have never done a RC in a dream to make me aware. I heard one technique is be confident and have the attitude of "there is no way i won't have a lucid dream tonight". I heard that last night and tried it. My dream consisted of lucid dreaming talk, and i was close to lucidity but no cigar.

I find that WBTB does not work for me, has different effects.

I was talking to a friend this morning. She said she had slept only about five hours last night, and had just woken up when I came over. About ten minutes after I got there, she was lying on the couch, and started saying the most random things in response to my questions - like, there were totally unrelated. She kept "coming to" and apologizing and laughing, but I told her I thought she was having a WBTB experience, where the brain is pretty likely to drop straight into dreaming at times like this. Good bit of application anyway.
