Sleeping with television on?

[Mguy]

Quick question... Do you think that sleeping with the television turned on with a very low background volume could assist lucid dreams?

[LittleBuddy]

nahhh, but what do i kno

[-ZeroPoint-]

I sleep with television on every night, is this effecting why I’m not lucid dreaming?

[LittleBuddy]

most likely not

If you are in a light sleep the sound from the TV can often transfer into your dreamworld and your brain will try to create believable or bizarre situations about where the sound is coming from. I turn my TV off, as it can become frustrating, even the changing levels of light can be annoying - plus, there are concerns about the level of radiation that emits from televisions.

I've fallen into a dream with the TV on before - although not a lucid dream, but I wasn't consciously trying. I say give it a shot and let us know!

hmmm ive heard from quite alot of research into LD's that the white noise ( tv on but no channel ) can help with lucidity but im not sure from the tv as they played the same sound but threw some headphones as they slept maybe worth giving it a try ? ohhh and will also stop the problem with changing light when it goes to diffrent scenes as it will stay on the same i tend to find lately i dream alot more after 4-5 hours sleep waking up to go to the toilet then going back to bed wbtb as they call it ... i also eat a cheese sandwich or sumthing before bed this seems to help me recall dreams alot more alough people say it gives them nightmares that wont matter if you become lucid and can stay in control as u can then change it to whateva you like hope this is helpfull

Quick question... Do you think that sleeping with the television turned on with a very low background volume could assist lucid dreams? hmm, maybe. A few months back I was watching crank yankers on Mtv and that morning I drempt I was listening to Serj Tankian "empty walls" on my ipod. i was danceing around and everything then I woke up and Serj Tankian music video was on the tv. you could look and see what is coming on later in the night and Try to look for the show in your dream or something

I find it easier to fall alseep with the tv on. The louder it is the more hypnotizing. Once I heard the news when I was asleep, then woke up and heard it again, it felt a bit freakish until I realized where I heard it before...

It almost worked for me once. I was in a light sleep and the key is to use commercials you7 know from that channel as dream signs and if your in a light sleep what there saying on the tv should show up in your dreams

Want to know something I don't understand? If you're dreaming whilst the T.V. is on, someone is being interviewed, the dream character's mouth is in perfect sync with the person on T.V. How is this possible? This must that your mind can someone see (not physically) what the person is saying! But how? For example, I was upstairs once in my room asleep whilst I could hear the T.V. really loud downstairs, G.M.T.V. is on, I could hear them talking. In my dream I was walking up the set of stairs and then G.M.T.V. automatically starts stalking when I start walking up the stairs. This isn't exactly the same thing though. I don't understand, I know there's more perfect examples of dreams that I can't remember.

Quick question... Do you think that sleeping with the television turned on with a very low background volume could assist lucid dreams? In Spain they got "siestas" .. I heard from a number of people, that they prefer sleeping by the TV.. If closed eyes, "watch" the TV screen, it kan work like those "Nova goggles".. And when watching a dokumentary, the "pitch" of the sound can be helpfull..

I don't think so, because I usually sleep with the tv on, and it doesn't seem to make any difference for me. But then again what doesn't work for me doesn't necessarily mean wont work for you!
