After you have a lucid dream, and you get up in the morning, are you as rested as you would be from a normal nights sleep?
Actually, I feel as though as I got an even better rest than if I just would normally sleep.
Thanks Axel. I didn't want to have lucid dreams if it meant that I would be falling asleep during class. Thanks again.
I think it may depend on instances, people, etc. Sometimes I feel very rested, and other times I feel like I may have expended more energy than if I had simply just tried to rest normally.
I agree with Axel.Quote:

If you got the lucid dream through WBTB, you might feel more tired because you woke up during the night. But that doesn't have anything to do with having the lucid dream itself.
Well, I have yet to do a Lucid Dream. But its understandable that I am new to this, so im gonna continue trying to have them! :D I`ll give my opinion on this after I get one.
I don't feel any different
It's all the same to me really.
It varies depending on the LD.
If it's a really intense LD - stressful, etc - then I'm less rested.
Otherwise I wake up feeling great!
I agree with webmaster. After i have had my 2 LDs i felt very good nearly all day!
good luck
Yes, LDs are strangly refreshing.
I don't know the scientific reason why. Perhaps it is all just psychological.
It's a common misconception that lucid dreaming de-values your sleep time. My theory is, since you're using your brain more during lucids, you get a feeling of refreshment from that brain use, ontop of the normal relaxation from a dream. but then again, I could be wrong!Quote:
