Do this and you'll have at least a few lucids a week.

Yes MrOMGWTF, WBTB has also been the answer for me over the years!

After all what does Wake Back To Bed mean? According to my research WBTB means waking up after 4 to 5 hours of sleep and then spending a 30 to 60 minutes of wakefulness. This is more than just using the bathroom! I typically take this time to review LD techniques and to plan and incubate upcoming dream prospects. This practice alone has been the key to my LD success!

This being said I would not advocate WBTB every night. As for me I only use WBTB two or three times a week and still experience some LD success on off nights...

Could somebody explain what "acetylcholine levels" have to do with Lucid Dreaming, or Dreaming in general?

"Acetylcholine has been shown to promote REM sleep."

I see, so, reading about something that interests you increases your acetylcholine levels?

Would "awareness meditation" increase your acetycholine levels?

All I can find on google is how to increase acetylcholine with different foods and supplements.

Hey, sorry for the terribly late response, it was a long time since the last time I browsed this forum.

One of the functions of the acetylocholine system is logical and judgmental thinking.

When you dream, your body releases an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase into your blood. It causes your acetylocholine levels to drop down.
Thanks to low acetylocholine levels, you can have very strange and illogical dreams, yet still not come to a realization that you are dreaming. But when you dream with normal or elevated acetylocholine levels, you dont lose the ability to think logically and judge. Therefore it is very probable that you will question your dream at some point.
