Hi DVers i am a new member but have been browsing this site for almost a year and had only 1 short lucid.I found out about lucid dreaming from the movie The Good Night.My problem is that i only get 5 hours of sleep daily and only able to try wbtb on fridays and saturdays.Could i still have a dild or is it not possible?

yah you can have a DILD with 5 hours a sleep. REM cycles run in 90 mins, and as the night goes on those REM cycles get longer--so therefore you have more dreams (or longer dreams).. You can have a LD during a 30 minute nap.. it's happened to me plenty of times.. you just gotta put your mind to it, and go for it bro. Spiritofthewolf

Also, if you're continually sleeping for five hours then I'm fairly sure your REM cycles will adjust so that they occur during that five hours. I'm not sure whether that's correct or not, but I think I've heard it before.

Sounds like the best way for you is to start taking naps, especially when you're only getting 5 hours of sleep nightly. REM usually continues in those naps when you don't get that much REM from the night before. And, when there is REM, there's a good chance to LD. I actually got 7 LDs out of one nap before.
