Thread: Lucid During a Nap?

Wow this just might be the most successful thread I've ever started lol thanks for all the insight, my friends. It ceases to amaze me on how educated members of this site are. Everyone has a passion for dreaming! I dig!

I've heard lots of reports of people having LD's during naps, certainly. As some others said above, it has to do with your intentions...you lay down in bed, thinking, "I'm doing this, solely to lucid dream", and that may just be the kick in the ass, so to speak, your subconcious needs for some more of those gold LDs .

Logically, yes, you do sleep lighter, and up to a certain point I think will go into REM sleep after of course entering SP again.

I think I remember hearing that after a certain time it will be more like your going to bed early than napping and you'll go into deep sleep, so I'd keep it rather close to your regular wakeup time, say 2 or 3 hours (if that's possible).

Another thing is: Make sure to get lots of sleep, so you'll get more lighter sleep, and more chance for lucid dreams.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll succeed with a WILD soon, just play around and see what works for you.

Well I tried last night and I was up for an hour and a half... I never got as close as I did the first time...

I did, however, finally get some sick dream recall of a regular dream where I was a member of a secret organization investigating a branch of the NAVY but it turned out that the branch I was investigating was actually a fake branch from a terrorist organization and they set up their branch in order to investigate me... two of my companions died and my commander had this giant telephone that looked like a tower speaker and it had so many buttons all up and down the side of it and he listened to it by putting his head on top of it and pushing all the buttons...

So at least that's good lol

But yeah. Like you said, bro, I think I gotta stop trying so hard to WILD and just get regular sleep for a couple of days and maybe try to WILD just like one night a week. In the meantime, I think it would be wise to work on my recall and noticing more dreamsigns... like me killing my partner with a metal bastard file... or a giant telephone... I can't believe I didn't catch those! lol
