Lucid Dreaming and Mattresses

Lucid dreaming was always really fascinating to me but I could never have one. But recently I cleaned out my closet so my bed was covered in things so I had to sleep out on the couch for the past week. Since sleeping on the couch my back doesn't hurt when I get up and I've also had about 3 lucid dreams in a week in addition to having much longer dreams that are more numerous and memorable. I was able to have them with little difficulty. I'd love to keep this cycle going so does where I sleep or the type of mattress I have affect the ability to lucid dream?

I think so, since sleeping in a hurting place may take most of your dream attention to avoid the pain <.<

Unless you find the couch more comfortable than the bed, I think it's more like a good luck charm than a real factor. The power of it is directly related to the belief it makes a difference. Sleep wherever is most comfortable.

Welcome to Dreamviews, by the way!

Thanks! And yeah I'm thinking it might be a mind thing. Although that couch is really comfy haha. I think Walms is right too, the lack of comfort for my body might have had an effect.

You know just reading the topic of this post made me realize that moving home from school, where I had a really shitty mattress, to sleeping on one that feels like a gigantic pillow may be why I haven't been having as many LDs as I used to. :idea2: I bet I get into way too deep a sleep in this bed because it is so damn comfortable. I'll have to look into this... Haha thanks for pointing me down this path

Haha its the exact opposite of what happened to me but hey, anything goes when it comes to dreaming.
