Welcome to Dream Views ! |

Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
Thanks for the reply! |

You are correct, but i think after some minutes you are fully conscious. The lenght of the WBTB is important, but there are probably many reasons ( intention is probably the first, because it really requires willpower to wake up and stay awake and resist the urge to return; also, with long WBTB's you can have some rebound effect) |

Easier said than done! |

Another thing to try is maybe set the alarm for even earlier. I've had fairly good success with sleeping for just 4 hours, being awake for 2―-3 hours and then going back to bed. It really is different for everyone though, so like Vagal said, the best thing to do is experiment. |

Interesting ! I usually do the same schedule, when i can. You know, this is very close to byphasic sleep that was long ago our cultural sleeping schedule. And guess what ? Yes, a lot more interesting dreams |

Just for a little update, both previous nights resulted in me recalling a couple of short non-lucid dreams. I suspect it will take a month or two to have my first lucid dream |

hello all, |

Best thing to do is to go by how you feel. If you feel alert and you can think clearly after just few minutes, there is no need to stay up any longer. This time may vary even for you on different nights. The goal is to wake up enough, but still stay sleepy to fall asleep relatively fast. I personally do morning naps 1-4 hrs after waking up in the morning. |

Yup. When i just started WBTB, i always did it with a length of 30 or more minutes, but only resulting in insomnia. I thought i was the problem and i had to change. I was wrong. After a lot of sleepless tries, i knew that this wasn't going to work. I skipped WBTB. I then only set my alarm, wake up, and immediately try WBTB. Results were bad aswell. Fell asleep to quick night after night. From here i started to experiment with some WBTB's. I now have found my perfect WBTB-time. It's only 2 minutes. Just a quick stand up, doing some think work, and then go back to bed. I will be enough conscious, but still very sleepy. It's easy to drift back to sleep and WILD. |
