my first uh. smething ^^ lol

well last night, i was trying to lay as still as possible and say to myself "am i dreaming? how about now?" after talking to my subconcsious. after a few itches and jerks, i think i had a first vibration? idk how to explain it really.. but i remember my body and what happend. it was like my heart started to race faster and from my head to my feet something in my body (i believe it was a vibration) went straight down like a earthquake. then after i heard some more noises, and eventually... recoverd like nothing had happend haha ^^. right now i am in the middle of my 60-90 min period where i drink coffee, tea, and a chocolate a bar.

while im up, i might as well ask, what do you guys do to make you lucid after going back to bed? i have read and found out to keep on asking yourself questions repeatedly and keep your mind going, but completley relaxing your body and not moving. for personal experience, what do you guys do?

Hey C911,

For one, I don't go having coffee, tea, and a chocolate bar in the middle of the night (if that's what you mean by the 60-90 min period). I think you're on the right track with the asking yourself questions - however that can also keep you up at night (not to mention make you frustrated).

What you need to do is get yourself at a point where you're really sleepy - to where you don't have to force yourself at all to keep still and relax. Usually this happends after a couple sleep cycles - in the middle of the night, more towards the morning.

Thing to consider:

1) You wake up many times during the night, but hardly remember it
2) It is during these quick awakenings that you should try the "am I dreaming, how about now?" method.
3) Your REM period (period dreaming) increases as the night goes on.
4) Since you'll spend more time in REM towards the morning, you have a greater chance of having a lucid then.

Hi, when going back to bed, you can try techniques such as MILD and WILD. These are links to tutorials on these techniques:

and so i obtained it. although it wasnt the best lucid i could have come through, it was still very good for me. i kept swapping from dreaming to lucid, but i had points where i wasnt dreaming at all, and being lucid for well over 5 minutes.
