Can I still lucid dream?

Hello. At the beginning of summer break I started to get back into lucid dreaming. I was aiming for the WILD technique. But after a week of going to sleep at 11pm (and being unsuccessful at falling asleep) and keeping a DJ, I decided to take a break. So the past week and a half I've been easily falling asleep at around 3am and waking up at about 12 to 1pm. I also stopped my DJ. Surprisingly to me dream recall increased instead of decreasing. But I was wondering if I could just as easily DILD (at least) as if I went to sleep at 11pm. Or maybe even WILD??

Thanks for reading through all that.

I don't think is matters hugely about when you go to sleep. Just if your subconscious has been trained to recognize flaws in the dream world.
I myself have been RCing for about a year now. I RC'd persistently during the beginning of the year (like 5 to 10 times a day) then after a month or two relaxed a bit and RC maybe once or twice every 2 days. I've become very sharp in the dreamworld now, and have started to easily recognize being asleep and have started to maintain a consciousness about as strong as I have when awake after I become lucid, and sometimes during non-lucids (which soon become lucids :P).

I don't see why not. If there are any negatives to your current schedule, they are only minor and don't rule out dreaming or lucid dreaming. For example, maybe you sleep a bit less profoundly during the day/morning than at night, but then again this could be a good thing for certain techniques. For WILD in particular, there should be no problem, since you're conscious basically the whole time and it doesn't depend much on your sleeping schedule (as long as you can get some sleep beforehand). The only slight obstacle I can imagine would be if you have trouble falling asleep / trying WILD if there's some daylight coming through.

Thanks man. My room is still pretty dark during the mornings. I'm happy I can still try out a WILD :D.

Of course you can achieve regularly lucidity, just takes a bit of time. :content:
