Thread: oneiroer's workbook

Got up from another nap and was having a lucid dream I think but hardly remember anything and the memory just vanished... I am starting to wonder why I seem to only remember dreams from naps and not from the night before. Maybe because my sleep schedule is so random? I remember reading in a lesson that proficient amount of sleep is required or something like that. I'm thinking I should go to sleep around 9pm...

Hey! Hmm you have a good point. Another possibility is that naps just give you more vivid dreams to remember? Im not entirely sure why, but from experience, as well as other people's.... I've learned that naps in general tend to be the ones with more outlandish dreams or the memorable vivid ones. Just a thought

Great thought, oneiroer. I am a big fan of having a regular sleep schedule. I find that if I go to bed unusually late, I'll often wake up the next morning before I've had my full measure of sleep. That's sure to rob me of some precious REM time. In general, the more messed up my sleep schedule, the worse my dream recall and overall rate of lucidity. Get a nice, early night and see how that goes for you!

Is a more regular sleep schedule something you think could be possible for you long-term or is your life structured in such a way that this is difficult?

And almost forgot... congratulations on the lucid dream, remembered or not! There will be more. (Many more.)

I am pretty sure I can make a regular sleep schedule happen most of the time. Thanks CanisLucidus!
