      Hi there!

      Hello!
      I recently registered to this site, in hopes to learn lucid dreaming, and sharing my adventures. I've been lucid dreaming, for over 3 months now, and I've had around 10 LD's so far. I'm planning to start my dream journal here, but currently I don't have so much free time.
      Now, I'm sorry, if there were many questions like this, but I'd like to know, if there are some tutorials, on how to find out, when are my REM cycles starting, and ending. So, if you would be kind enough to post some tutorials or just a bunch of tips, it would be really appreciated!

      Thanks!

      Hi Shrykull, welcome to Dreamviews!

      10 lucids in a few months isn't too bad, so good job! Dream journaling is definitely important, so even if you only jot a few notes down right when you wake up in the morning, it'll help keep your recall up.

      I'm sure there's information out there as to when your REM cycles start and end. I'm not sure of the validity of this diagram (so use caution), but check it out anyways.


      Yeah, I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to sleep cycles, but I'm sure someone else has more information than I do. Good luck finding it!

      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      Thanks!
      Well, luckily, I'm sort of a natural so...
      About the dream journal, I've been writing down my dreams, and in a few months maybe I'll start one here as well!
      Thanks for the help, I'll check that out tonight!

      We have an old guide that covers the basics of your sleep patterns. It should get you started, at least.
      Physiology of Sleep FAQ (Updated Feb. 18/05) - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

      I think the best way to map out your sleep is to keep track of when you wake up at night. Anytime you wake from a dream, record the time. After a few days or weeks of this, you should have a pretty good idea of your sleep patterns.

      Yeah, I've been planning on doing that, but my recall is still pretty crappy, so I'll have to improve it first.
