after attempting lucid dreams for about 4 months now i have come to terms that this method of soul/consciouse searching is simply not possible for some people to acheive. I have tried every method available to the public, read many books on said topic (aswell as books on OBE's in general) and i have had absolutley no success...i believe the problem starts with my inability to dream and trust me i know you will say "impossible everyone has dreams at one point or another you just don't remember them sometimes" well in my case this isn't true, i stopped having dreams soon after i practiced meditation. i have attempted to keep dream logs but it's hard to record something that doesn't happen. forget about LD's, is there any known whay to induce dreams in general? |

Go to bed early and sleep then record your dreams and even if you might not remember much now, nobody does in the beggining really, well I promise you that you will after some time. |

i Went to a "sleep doctor" at the Northern Virginia Sleep Diagnostic Center back in early 2008 and after a few tests it was determined that almost all if not all of my sleep was done in the NREM stage. I never actually entered the REM stage of sleep but then again this test was only done a few times so to say with certainty that i never enter the REM stage would be foolish. I was told this is very rare but not a bad thing due to the fact that not everyone's brain chemestry is the same. As far as keeping detailed dream logs to try and promote ddreams to happen...been there and tried that, it's gotten to the point of frustration actually hindering the process. However "Mastermind" i will give your dream recall process a try, but without powerfull hallucinogens i don't see myself having much success. Thank you anyway though i will report my results and maybe something can be discovered from there. |

We do have dreams in NREM also. Unless sleep doctor told you, that you don't. In that case, sorry to hear that. |

well that really depends on what stage of NREM sleep you are in...considering there are 4 stages in this one cycle of sleep each one a different level of consciousness in theory yes you can dream in NREM sleep but you are not very likely to remember it upon awaking (So i have read). and i didn't see a Dream Doctor i saw a Sleep Doctor, most of our conversations weren't based on dreams they were based on methods of falling asleep. however i really wish i went further in my interests into dreams at the time, i might not be here posting in this forum now...but they do say everything happens for a reason |

i edited the post to remove that statement minutes after posting it, to avoid it sounding offensive. Apparently not soon enough. I sincerely apologize for said statement. The only reason i included that statement in the original post is because i mistook your reply "Unless sleep doctor told you, that you don't. In that case, sorry to hear that." as arrogant disbelief...i understood almost immediatly after that you weren't implying this, which is the reason i edited the post in the first place. Again, i made a mistake and i apologize |

Thank you, apology accepted. I ment what I said with genuine concern, that if sleep doctor told you that you don't dream, I can't argue with that and then I guess there is nothing to do. At least, there is nothing I can suggest, that would make you dream again. |

extreme restlessness. and when i finally do sleep i always wake up feeling tired almost zombie like, usually more tired then i was when i originally went to sleep...I went to see the Doctor because my significant other at the time believed i was showing signs of insomnia. I was assured that my case was Rare but not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that my brain chemistry is "different". i was Given a Prescription for Sonata after a few tests over the course of 3 days and sent on my way...i must say i felt rather kicked to the curb but insurance doesn't typically cover visits to Sleep Clinics so i only made a few visits. |

Imnotagod...Welcome. |

I'll do my best. As they say nothing worth having in life comes easy |

If you can't remember a whole dream, do you remember fragments of it? Could be as brief as just a scene or an image but at least you're remembering something. I would like to ask how many hours do you sleep a day or how many hours can you sleep a day? Some people have problems with sleeping more. |

Mastermind's method works extremely well from my experiences with it. It is a great tool I use to give myself a reassurance that it will be an eventful night when it comes to dreaming. I'm convinced that if you really spend your time on it you will not be disappointed. Some other tips are repeating to yourself that you will remember your dreams, switching around your sleeping pattern, and trying not to move after you wake up and think hard. If all else fails, research the WILD technique. It has nothing to do with remembering dreams, and as an added bonus most people find that using this technique produces very vivid dreams. |
