why do you people act lik you need 5 hours of sleep to wild. im getting pretty darn near achieving wild without 5 hours of sleep before. all i do is meditate. i dont eat anything. if i want to eat i do. like before i go to bed or somthing i meditate. having a relaxation tape helps. so i dont think you need 5 hours of sleep if you ask me.
You need 5 or 6 hours of sleep before your REM period begins. In this period the mayority of your dreaming takes place. It all explained in detail here:

After 5-6 hours, the duration of REM increases until it is almost continuous.

Yep Seekers right. But Damn Seeker beat me to it. I wanted to correct Truthbearer.
I bet you did, shadow...
Anyway, you guys are right, i frased it incorrectly...
I know that you do get dreams during the period in which you dream before sleeping 6 hours, but the actual REM period(I believed it was called like that) wasn't until after 5 or 6 hours...
Anyway, just trying to help someone out....

Keep on helpin man!
ok so u cant enter a dream without the REM stage, is that right? cuz i seemed to be pretty close. maybe time was passing so fast i didnt realize 90 mins had passed
oh and i also thought u dream in every stage of sleep. am i wrong? is it possible to acheive lucidity in those states?
Basicly its just easier. If you are close without any sleep maybe you should try after 5 hours and see if its any easier.
I rarely sleep more than 5 hours a day (I'm serious!) and I still have spontaneous lucid dreams (including WILDs) about once or twice a week on average. What I do is I only "sleep" for once sleep cycle (70 - 120 minutes) then take 3 - 4 naps of about 20-30 minutes each day, preferably spread out evenly. This is a variation of the polyphasic sleep technique that the Army uses. Polyphasic sleep is described in detail here: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/4/15/103358/720
you never answered my question really. is it possible to achieve lucidity in the other sleep states?
Wow rogue_noir!! I read about this sleep technique. Seems interesting but tiring!
