Either way, it was very cool and I could wake myself out of it in less than a second. The only thing was, I always woke up very tired and cold ( yes cold, felt like somebody put ice in my veins ).

Oh yea just wondering. Can you remember what your sort of thought pattern or attitude was as the time? What did you think about/did you think at all?

I did think, but it was more relaxed. I allowed random thoughts to come to me, but as you described it, I did think with sort of a "monologue". I think the busy, loud environment of the bus helped keep me kind of aware. I also seem to have a natural affinity for these things. My thought process was also sometimes based on what I was hearing around me or what I had going on at school that day.

Good luck in achieving this! It would be really cool if you do, this way you can get sleep AND not spend a third of your life being unconscoius.

Ah i see. What about your body? Did you think about it/not think about it/not care?

I think ive done this as a child once.

Lol this sucks. I did everything as a child. Got stuck in SP, had accidental WILD's, which ofcourse all lead to nightmares.
Now i have to TRY to get these things -_-

Thankyou!

Cool, this would improve so much the things you can do in lucids, good luck with it.
Oh I has woke myself from lucids at 12/1 PM (1 hour or so after going to sleep) but dunno if that has anything to do with this <.<

Hey Dizko, I'll help you and be a subject.

Only problem is, how do I stay awake for 90 minutes without feeling bored?

Sorry it took me so long to reply, as I thought I had already. I don't really think I payed too much attention to my body. I was able to do it to such an extent that if I had an itch, i could wake myself up, scratch it, and be back asleep within a couple of seconds. Maybe, just for experimentation purposes, you should find a city bus in a good neighborhood and fall asleep to see if you can do it. I will warn you though that it is EXTREMELY physically straining. You will wake up feeling as if you hadn't slept in two days, and you will feel cold. The best way to describe it is to imagine you have the chills from a fever. No matter how much you cover up, you will feel cold on the inside of your body. it is very good for meditation purposes.

I wonder what happens if one dream ends. Do you slowly fade in and out waking state? Anyway I think that this is a great goal. If you've done this you can truly call yourself aware. I think that an experience like that can change your life. For the boredom, learn to enjoy it yes. It wil test your power of will and strenght of the mind. I think that you should master lucid dreaming first. All techniques are useful in their own way, you could apply the knowledge of all techniques to your progress. MILD improves the power of will and mind ; WILD improves the feeling of being aware/awake ; DILD improves the flexibility of you mind.

When you wake up in the morning after you do this, do you feel as rested as you normally would? Not immediately after you awaken, but in your overall day?

Also, exactly how do you do this? Do you just lie down as if you were sleeping, and keep your mind aware?

EDIT: One last thing, what were your first results when trying this?
