Thread: Students trying to obtain LD's

Are there any students out there who cant seem to develop a good dream recall because of school? I can rarely recall dreams during school days because of (I think) waking up too early. The best i can do is recall little tiny bits, whenever im on a break though, for a week or more my recall is much better. For example, Christmas break i had two weeks off, about 1 week in I had my first and only lucid dream.

My question is to you: how are you able to cope with early wake up times, or are you not effected?

There's a fantastic solution to waking up too early-



go to sleep earlier.

I go to bed at 10:00pm, any earlier and ill be lying there for a while unable to fall asleep.

Just keep it up. Read up on sleep hygiene and learn to have the discipline to get into bed early consistently. Consistence is going to be the key there.

The same thing happens to me man. But in the morning I set my alarm like 5 minutes earlier and just lie there and think " what was i dreaming about" and even though i only get 7 or 6 hours of sleep, i can usually remember at least one. Keep at it. Also i think the stress from school has something to do with it.
Sometimes in the morning all I can think about is that project I have to present.

Recall isn't an issue, but its hard to WBTB because you have this constant nagging feeling of the alarm clock coming closer.

Shift is right on the money with the consistancy thing. As for the alarm clock, I would just sleep earlier so that you have more time to work with WBTB before you have to get ready for school

This is pretty much me. But I really only have to worry about it Friday night, because my only morning class is on Saturday.
