      Smile is having WILDs sleep deprivation?

      Hiya,

      does anyone know - if you are 'awake' when your dreaming, does sleep still have all the effects it should on the body - ie does all the same stuff happen but you can see it or does some stuff get neglected because your watching - i know sleep lets lots of important stuff happen - is being in a state of WILD the same as being in REM in terms of bodily functions?

      i've had WILDs where i've just watched and i've seen memories being tidied up and stuff - but this obviusly could be a dream in itself lol

      any comments will be read with interest....

      With my LD (not WILD), I woke up normally as if it was a normal dream. I was actually more refreshed afterwards!

      LDs: 3

      DILD(s) = 3

      Third one was really short and unstable

      Lucid dreaming is just the same as dreaming, but you know you are dreaming. Being "Awake" isn't anything to worry about. So do not worry, you are still asleep. The only times when lucid dreaming can harm your sleep is that if you are too excited, you will wake up. But if you treat your lucid dreams just like a relaxed reality and do not panic or get stressed, you will have a straight forward and sleepfull sleep.

      WILDs are not sleep deprivation - as has been said here, they are normal REM sleep that you happened to go into knowingly, so that you knew from the start that you were dreaming.

      WILDs can occur more easily when you're already sleep deprived, though, IME. I generally only WILD if I can fall into REM sleep very rapidly and dramatically, and that tends to require sleep deprivation...or being woken up at just the right time in the sleep cycle that REM is the next thing on the list.

      No dream goals at the moment...just flying and letting stuff happen is kinda fun, and it's hard to motivate myself to try LDing lately.
