Thread: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I Finally mastered Lucid Dreaming!!!!!! UPDATE!

What are these breaks exactly like? I always wake up in between my dreams (about three or four times a night) and I write them down in my journal.

Are these REM breaks exactly that, or no?

To my knowledege these breaks are in between REM stages.
You then prep. yourself with the dream scenario for the next REM session,
or for a wbtb or something keep awake for a large chunk of the next REM and get back to bed in prep. for the following REM session.
Does that make sense?


iadr:
Thanks and you can do it as a eye-open quick daydream of the scene, as long as it enters yur mind through the day.
Remember how we have a dream of something so small we glanced at during the day that we never took notice of? Well imagine puting your dream scene in your memory 10 times a day. Imagine how much easier it would be to dream it.

Yeah it does. I'm just wondering where these breaks are exactly. If these are the times that I wake up immediately following my dream then I am set. Otherwise I'm not sure.

Pretty much. They are meant to be in roughly 90 min cycles and text books say to stay up in a wbtb for 60-90 mins (ie a REM cycle) to continue into the next REM.
But we are all different and some can't go back to sleep after that long and need to greatly reduce the awake time.
Best thing I have found is watch when you wake through the night and jot down the times.
Do this over a few nights (when doing your dream journal jot it next to the dream) and you will start to get an idea of your REM time cycle.
A good starting point is set you alarm for 4.30am and see what happens.
Hope that helps.

Hmm... good method, though i never remember waking up in the night, most of the time when I go to sleep, I just lie in bed and then i wake up in the morning :/

I used to too. I started setting my mobile on vibrate in my sock, for 4.30am, 6am and 7.30am. This was great for wbtb, VILDs and WILD attempts.
Once my phone was out of battery and I realised i was waking at these times automatically. So cool. Repetiton is so fun.
