Lucid sleepwalking

[Luminous]

I was wondering if any of you fellow lucid dreamers have sleepwalked while having a lucid dream? I know I have on one occasion. I was around 9-10, and my parents had a friend over during the evening. During that time, I first walked down the stairs to the living room, and stood at the bottom of the stairs, staring at them. They tried to talk to me, but I didn't respond and went back to my room. I don't think I was having a lucid dream then, but later that night, I had a lucid dream where I was following a rabbit through a forest, if I'm not mistaken. I walked into the hallway from my room, then started to slowly wake up. The dream and real life kind of melted together, making me unable to distinguish between dream and reality. I knew I was dreaming, but yet, I found myself in the hallway at the same time as I was in a forest. I tried getting to the bathroom, but stubbed my toe and started bawling my eyes out, not knowing if the pain was real or a dream. My mom found me and took me back to bed, and that's all I remember. Any of you experienced anything similar?

As I understand it sleepwalking occurs before REM sleep, and dreaming in non-REM sleep is rare. Because of this I don't think it is likely for this to happen. I used to sleepwalk a lot, wake up in different rooms at various hours and I never associated this with dreams. Just as a note though, waking up in a different room at 5am as a kid and moving back to my bed definitely helped my dream recall and propensity to lucid dream.

I've sleep walked, cleaned and ate a few times. I don't think I've ever sleep walked while lucid. I think that would be a difficult thing to have happen.

oh wow, i have never heard of this before. It sounds fascinating... I would just lock my bedroom door if i were you . And wear slippers... I wonder if you could contorl your waking body to go back to bed from your dream state...

[Luminous]

Hmm, so it's not supposed to be possible? I wonder how I did what I did, then.

[rookybeats]

Hahahaha You'd wake up in a desert with a few dead people around and think, "How the hell did I get here?"

[Axel]

I've always wonder'd...would you be able to control your physical body in a LD, like intentionally sleep walk. It would make sleeping a lot more efficient! lol

Just to clear one thing up: you do dream in Non-REM sleep. Sleep walking during a lucid is unlikely though, because it commonly occurs during REM. However, even Laberge showed that it can occur outside of REM, as he examined people that LDed even in stage 1 sleep. It is just less common and you would likely wake yourself up unless you were in stage 4.

I'm not sure, but fallowing the logic if you sleep walking and become lucid it means that you realize that you are sleep walking, wouldn't that wake you up?

Yes. I once became lucid in the same instant i opened my eyes in the morning. So i got up, ate breakfast, and went lucid sleep walking to work. I couldn't fly though. That would have been awesome! I lost lucidity when i got home and my girl started talking about shoes.

I'm not sure, but fallowing the logic if you sleep walking and become lucid it means that you realize that you are sleep walking, wouldn't that wake you up? That's kinda what it was like, but I'm now guessing that what happened was that I partially woke up, then went into the hallway in more of a sleep-like state rather than in a lucid dream. I did see things though, and couldn't tell between real and dream.

I've never sleep walked as far as I know. lucid sleep walking would be trippy though if that could happen and it didn't wake you up. Imagine being aware your dreaming and having a conversation with say a Lion or something in your dream, yet your fully aware that its actually a roommate or family member your talking too. You could walk around and interact with the real world, but see it in "dream vision". You wouldn't want to fly out a window though.
