Thread: I found out a more realistic way to lucid :D

Alright first try to stay up the whole night and in the morning when you here the birds shirping go to sleep. The more tired you are the more youll remember the dream,feel the dream,more realistic,stay in the dream longer and get to do what you want faster and better

This sounds like something I'm going to try. Thanks for posting this, especially if it works!

Sounds like REM rebound to me.

Purposelessly sleep-depriving yourself is neither healthy or useful for lucid dreaming. Sure you can have an easier time inducing a WILD, but not only you're lowering your sleep quality by throwing your circadian clock out of window, which results in future nights of sleep with more N-REM (because your body will balance it at some point), but more importantly, you will subject yourself to tiredness, cognitive impairment, lack of concentration, among other negative factors, especially if you can't (like most of us) afford to sleep throughout the day.

The same rule applies to alcohol consumption: it will give you rem-rebound, but by no means it should be used a tool for lucid dreaming.

I completely agree with Zoth. Doing this is only useful for the night you are doing it. One of the most important aspect to most hardcore lucid dreamers is particularly keeping their sleep pattern regular.

I guess it's funny to give a try but it won't help you progress in lucid dreaming over the long run.
