Lucid Hotspots?

[Reality_is_a_Dream]

Ok, I know alot of you won't believe me, but I think that there may be some places on this Earth that substantiously help you lucid dream. The other day, I had to sleep on the floor of a hotel, I was also in a city as opposed to a town, but I had an incredibally clear and powerful DILD!!! This is odd because this is my second LD ever. But what blew me away was that another dreamer, Echosun13, had to sleep on the floor the next day. Guess what she had? Her 3rd LD, it was also a DILD. So what I am saying is that there may be some places where LDs are more common. Any other ideas?

Maybe it's affected by places you haven't been before or rarely go too? I mean, it's like one of those psycic study things I read or something... When scientists did a survey or whatever on people who claimed to be "psycic" they found that they weren't very psycic but the people said that they felt better when they are at home or someplace their familar with. So maybe LDing could be effected by unfimilar places?

That makes sense, but I had stayed for two nights, as did Echosun13 ( realize that this is not nearly enough to base a "Study" on, just an idea..). I only had a LD when I was on the floor, and she only when she was on the floor. So maybe it wasn't the floor, it was just me being in the city and giving Echo the placebo push that she needed.

I stayed in a hotel one night, and that night had an extremely vivid and emotional dream. I think unfamiliarity has a lot to do with it.

a lot of you seem to be mentioning hotels, and unless you just stay in hotels as a hobby, I'd say youre also talking about travelling. I've always noticed that travelling disrupts my sleeping pattern, and it also makes a lot of sense considering the kind of stress and potentially, time changes, travelling involves. My thought on this is that this disrupted sleep pattern happens to cause your brain to demand a greater amount of restorative REM sleep, giving you more and more vivid dreams that are easier to become lucid in.

I hear this argument a lot, that if you sleep some place new - you might have a more vivid or lucid dream so I go on vacation thinking, gee! im gonna have a great dream tonight. and the opposite happens to me, I tend to wake up with no recall I dont think ive ever been able to have a vivid or lucid dream away from the comfort of my bed

I guess that doesn't work for me. I spent the last 12 months travelling and I never had a lucid dream - plus, I remembered almost no dreams whatsoever during that time.

I hear you man! Whenever I travel and sleep in a hotel, or sleep over a relatives, I always have at least very clear dreams. I'm pretty sure it's because your subconscious is aware while your sleeping that your in an irregular location, so it is more alert, resulting in vivid dreams. Sleeping on a coach u never slept on before has a similiar affect!

i had my first lucid dreams this week and i am at a hotel too!!!, but i am trying to use MILD to wake up cause i dont have my alarm, i do not care i just hope i can perfect it before i come back home, so i can LD all the time!!!

Weren't you taught in high school that you can't draw such broad conclusions without testing a large amount of people, controlling the extraneous variables, and being able to repeat the study results? Correlation does not equal causation!
