      Napping & Lucid Dreams

      Does anybody here have more success with lucid dreaming while having naps versus sleeping throughout the night?
      I have had three lucid dreams so far and TWO of them have been while napping for 2½ hours in the afternoon. I don't know what it is, but I seem to be able to remember to perform reality checks easier during my naps than regular sleep.
      One thing is for sure, I'm going to try and have more afternoon naps!!

      P.S. I am confused about the sleep cycles and dreaming now because I always though you need to be asleep for several hours before you could dream, but I will wake up after only a 2½ hour nap and remember very long vivid dreams (perhaps even lucid ones)!

      Do a reality check.

      I think I share your experience. I rarely nap for that long, but I recently did in the afternoon, and I ended up with both a very lucid dream, and SP. Naps within 5 hours of when you woke up in the morning will also induce lucid dreams, if you were in a REM cycle when you woke up. Also speaking from experience there.

      Apparently WILDs are best during naps, naps are all REM.

      Whenever I nap I can't even remember my dreams, probobly because I don't nap long enough

      Doesn't that depend on at what time you nap? I don't dream when I nap in the early evening, but I get HIs.

      Yes. Naps are great for me. But everyone seems different. I must note my "naps" are sleeps, I sleep for at least 2.5 hours.
      And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality.

      Yes, in the afternoon is best. I can't nap in the early evening, if I get tired then I just go to bed early

      I thought it took around 90 mins to get to REM sleep (dreams)?
