I agree with this completely.

@Squaddle: Of course you can sleep when ever you want... The task just needs to be done in a lucid dream, so go to sleep at whatever time works best for you...

That's not my point lol.
Just wondering how the REM cycle would be diff if we sleep at diff time, would it be the same but adjusts to at what time we sleep?
Cuz when I try to sleep at 8 i couldnt till 10-11 which i usually do, a habit of the body? not accustomed?

I'm pretty sure that it's a good idea to establish a fairly regular sleep cycle, so your body doesn't have to keep adjusting itself. Settle into a nice habit...then, when you go to WILD, you'll have a better idea of when your REM periods are. I think...

Glad you enjoyed it guys (and girls )!

@Squaddle, like Mario said, it is a good idea to keep a consistent sleep schedule (especially for beginners). For me, my sleep schedule is consistently inconsistent, and it works for me. I'm pretty experienced when it comes to lucid dreaming though (may be the reason I can sleep odd hours and still have success), and I wouldn't suggest an inconsistent schedule to beginners.

Oooh, okay. ;P

But yeah, what Mario and Yoshi said...

Though is there a good time to go to sleep to get the most out of it?

I believe what time you go to sleep is just personal preference. You could experiment with different times if you wanted, but I don't think it matters a whole lot as long as you're consistent (at least at first).

That is what you were asking, right?

I think, lol

I DID IT
take the time to read it through, best dream ever:
NOTE: Q's are the to keep indents

1st lucid in red comments in blue

Q I’m batman, and I am currently the narrator of an ancient story. The story goes of a blue man trapped in an iron casket floating on the sea. I try to save him but he sinks down. I narrate that the Cyclops who wasn’t a Cyclops, but just a tall man; we’re reading homer at school would one day become the fall of the Joker

Q Now I’m the Cyclops at 13 feet tall, but not blue. There is a campfire in the desert with other Cyclops and humans. A girl from my grade, Fiona, lures me under a ledge and then begins rubbing my feet. As a Cyclops I am picked on and excluded. As she did this I knew she was just getting me under the ledge for people to toss rocks on me. I knew it would happen. But I let it continue.

Q I got aroused for some reason, and I don’t know why. She was just rubbing my feet. When the people through rocks down I summer salted over her (she is still a human) to ‘save’ her. I didn’t get hit. But I ran away. And she was touched and thankful.

Q Now, still the narrator, I view the Joker and a mysterious young 30 year old man hire a hit on ‘batman’ a.k.a the real, fifteen year old body me.
Q I view Mrs. Batman go into the glass bat chamber in my parents room, and see an ancient Joker symbol. She screams.

Q Now I’m me, as batman in disguise, but still me. The joker comes in and starts to monologue. He is the definite antagonist. He lies down in the bed with me (like not lay with me, but lay NEXT to me… perverts.)

Q As we talk, he seems to be an okay guy, but then he gets up and continues his normal joker act. He had a hole in his right shoulder. And as a joke he pushed a button and fake blood shot EVERYWHERE. I pull a handgun and shoot another hole a few inches to the left of his fake one. “Ouch, that one’s real!” then he intends to kidnap me but leaves the room to go downstairs.

Q I (now my body) grab a tactical shotgun and go to the stairwell to see what they’re doing downstairs (he had an accomplice). I see their feet through the stairs and a doorway. I wait aiming for a while. The green light next to the magazine goes off and the mag pops out. The interior looks like a normal pump shotgun though. I get it to work and then try to take a shot and end up missing, hitting a iron basket full of his personal tennis-ball green skeet pigeons downstairs in the kitchen. Ironic 

Q He runs away. I pump the shotgun and go out the front door, turn around and try to cut through the two acres of my and my neighbor’s woods to intercept the Joker’s car. This is a scene my mind has played many times before, but not specifically with a joker or skeet  I run through the wrong neighbors yard. Then noticed they cleared a new section of their forest.

Q There, I see my shadow and say “I’m lucid” while I’m running. I look to see that my shadow is holding a shotgun as I’m running to catch up to the Joker. Remembering the Task of the Month, I decided to close my eyes and reopen them, just incase you can’t see the shadow before you are lucid.

Q I close and reopen my eyes and the shadow is still there but the sun feels a lot warmer. I blink again and the sun is burning hot. So I close my eyes and try to cool the temperature down. I blink twice, the same amount to get too hot, to get to normal.

Q I cut to a neighborhood not connected to my own, but I recognized it. My mother and sister were there. I was frustrated. She told me to just teleport there. I replied: “I don’t know how to do that yet!” she told me to go ask Christina. I decided against it.

q The joker comes rushing by in his car, being driven by his accomplice. He plows into my sister who was playing in the road a few feet away. She flies by, the car continues and she starts screaming. The Joker got away. It was a horrific scene. And I hated that I didn’t get the Joker.

q I held out my fingers in snapping position, then snapped as I yelled “Reset!” my vision cut to only a clock, a digital clock that counted down fifteen seconds super fast. Then I was back in the neighborhood. I aimed the shotgun down the road and the Joker came flying by. He missed my sister but my shotgun spray missed him. He got away again!

q I walked over near the edge of the road, readying myself. I snapped my fingers and yelled “Reset!” I didn’t see the countdown. But I did see the joker come back up. I aimed dead on and hit the driver. The class didn’t shatter, but had many pellet holes all over the front glass.

Q The joker was unfortunately in the passenger seat, pulled out a pistol. I watched him pull back the hammer. I turned to run and he shot me in the back. I felt the stopping power and the bullet burn. Then, lying in the ditch, I snapped my fingers and yelled “Reset!” with a ton of meaning.

Q My mom and sister are by a mailbox with owls. I walk over to them. The owls land on my and get poop all over my green sweater. My sister leaves and my dad drives her off. He was mad at me for taking ‘his’ shotgun it was totally mine!!  I take my shirt off. My mom asks me “What are you going to do now?”

Q I looked up, and said “I want to fly”

and the dream ended.

Whole dream, only the start is important though, red = TOTM part

Back to sleep.

FA, go out of bed and RC, teleport to school, saw the classmates again and was about to teleport away, then I stopped and looked at the sky, it was a sunny day, such a nice day, remembered the TOTM from DV, I looked down and saw I had a normal shadow “Expected...” I said, and then the classmates got to where I was, was about to teleport when it stroke me, I was going to try and DS with Delphinus! So I turned and smiled at the DC classmates, “Help me, ok?” they agreed, and asked what I wanted them to do, “Oh, just come here” I lead them to a garden “Now, let’s all sit” we all got down, and they looked funny at me “What are we doing anyway?” they asked “Oh, you will see” one of them chuckled and nodded, that was what made me remember in a stronger way, the story, anyway, I started the ritual, tried to teleport Delphinus, even yelled his name out, but there was nothing, looked left and right to look for him, nothing, they said I was being silly, laughed and got up, “No wait” I said “Didn’t really want to do this, but ah well” made a magic circle around them, it was three of them, used them to summon Delphinus, so they all died, at least they got all surprised and saw something cool right before?

They all plummeted, I looked around and saw nothing “Dang it...” then someone appeared, I looked at his face “Delphinus!” I yelled, while I was getting up, he looked up and started to get up “You know, there is something important I have to tell you...” he didn’t let me finish and just ran away, “Wait!” I yelled, didn’t work, so ran after him, he tried going through the door, but there was people blocking his way, I finally caught up with him “Geez, I have small legs, don’t run away like...” he ran away again, “Sigh” I ran once more, finally got to catch him and pulled his, sweater/coat/jacket/shirt? “Seriously, I was about to tell you we are dreaming, so try not running...” again, I was interrupted, and pushed back, too, I fell and he ran away once more, “Sigh...” I tried running to where he was again, but the place had mud, so tripped “Perfect, I won’t go easy on you anymore, like I can be outrun that easily anyway” he was already turning at the corner of the building, I ran as fast as I could and caught up with him in a purple/white room that had some sort of festival or food going on, he ran faster “Sigh, this is difficult...” I looked at what was in the place, there was cake, moved some cake in front of Delphinus and spread it around so it was going to be a door, at the same time, pulled a hair from my head and did the other side of the door, he was now running towards me, I stared at him and he stopped “Finally, but too late” I said, and lifted his left hand with my right arm, then grabbed him by the wrist and did half a turn, then smashed him against a white pole that was there, it broke “They don’t make them like before, apparently”, I said, while making another half turn and smashing him against the floor, there was a *Clack* on it, I sit and look at him, then got up and lifted him on the air, then pushed him with a wind wall, and used more energy to pull oxygen out of the range, didn’t get to know if that worked though, he vanished a few seconds after “Aw, didn’t kill him, oh wait, I wasn’t supposed to harm him, or kill him... his fault for making me get pissed” then woke up.
