Hey new person. |

Hi all - and what a great site this is! I've had a number of lucid dreams over the years (though not lately) and even managed some limited control over them. But I've never gone about systematically inducing/recognising them. Looking forward to learning from you all.the most lucid dreams that I've ever had came about when I was extremely over tired to the point of barely being able to get to sleep. I remember waking up from a vivid dream then going back to sleep, finding myselfback in the same dream and congratulating myself heartily. An opening question - is this experience common and does being overtired help in inducing lucid dreaming? |

Hey new person. |

Thanks for the welcome eppy and dreaming_dragon. I meant just being overtired lets say going without sleep for a night (a common enough happening when I was at uni) at another extreme people have been deprived of sleep for a number of days either for experiments or as a deliberate torture technique. I understand this can lead to mental instability. |

Silence & smile are two powerful tools.
Smile is the way to solve many problems & Silence is the way to avoid many problems.
Any amount of sleep deprivation causes REM (Rapid Eye Movement) deprivation which, in turn, leads to REM rebound the following night. REM rebound occurs when your body tries to make up for lost time in REM sleep; dreams are more-than-likely to be much more vivid when in REM rebound depending on the severity/duration of the sleep/REM deprivation the night before. People typically have a better shot at becoming lucid when REM deprived due to REM rebound. I found REM deprivation to be a great technique in inducing LDs and have gotten a LD every time I was REM/sleep deprived. |
