Thread: Is it possible to be concious throughout all of sleep?

like even when you are not dreaming, can you stay concious of yourself asleep

This is a good question, according to Dream Yoga and Yoga Nidra it is certainly possible. I'm getting into it, but I don't have any experience with it yet. Yoga Nidra is the practise of trying to stay conscious in deep sleep, where there are no dreams.

Also, I've read this article somewhere, that some insomniacs actually stay conscious during sleep, and dream of staying awake! They put some cameras next to them, and apparently these people were sleeping afterall. LOL

Yeah, that's why insomniacs (like myself) are exceptionally good at WILDing.
But that would be awesome to have one night where you remain conscious the entire night. That's why Im going to keep the practice of LDing, meditating, yoga, and hypnosis up until one day hopefully I can achieve that goal!

Sounds interesting and exhausting. I've done the insomniac thing for about half a night and it was miserable.

I remember reading in an old believe it or not comic book that some
guy or maybe it was a woman, could sleep with one eye always
open....apparently.
