Thread: How I Got All 6 Of My Lucid Dreams

I got my first 5 lucid dreams in a span of 8 days last month. And those days I would wake up really early (unintentional) and move to a different room to sleep some more. After regaining consciousness and sleeping again I noticed I am WAY more likely to have lucid dreams. After that 8 day span I pretty much have just been sleeping through the whole night, and when I woke up the first time I would get up. Today, I got woken up by the noise in my house around 8am. I wanted to sleep a couple hours more so I moved into a bedroom (I was on a couch). When I went to sleep in the bedroom my dreams were very vivid and I had a lucid dream for the first time in a month!

My point.
I am way more likely to lucid dream when taking a nap or getting up and going back to sleep.

Yah dude, it's called Wake-back-to-bed/WBTB. It's pretty commonly practiced. I hate to be "this guy" but have you read the tutorials or even the Acronym list? Sorry.

I know all the tutorials and I know what they are called. I'm no noob. I am aware you are in your longer stages of REM after around 4 hours. But I wasn't trying to do a WBTB. Instead of staying awake for around a half hour and reading lucid dream material, I just simply wake up, switch rooms in a matter of minutes and don't think of lucid dreaming. When I do this it usually comes natural to me

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.

Note: this wasn't after 4 hours of sleep. This was more like 7 hours of sleep, then switching rooms.

yea i remember my drwams easier two when i do that

so are you like not even staying awake for a period of time?

Literally just waking, walking to bed, and sleeping? I tried a similar thing with no luck, I think it must be better to stay awake for a little while, no?
