Sleep depreviation a cause for lucidity?

[blue_space87]

I'm unsure as to whether it would or not, however, would canceling sleep for 48 hours or so increase ones chance of attaining lucidity? Perhaps longer? Or would it eliminate the chances of becoming lucid - or to recall dreams completely?

Some of the most intense dreams I've ever had were after long periods of sleep deprivation. The REM rebound can cause you to drop directly into long vivid dreams as soon as your head hits the pillow. I wouldn't recommend it, though. Sleep deprivation is terrible and dangerous. It is really not as fun as it sounds.

I don't particularly enjoy sleep deprivation, as it mostly causes myself to become highly stressful, as to cause a lack of cognitive skills. However, as a result, I for whatever reason, have more access to memory - my memories are also much more vivid, sometimes even photograph, as to my imagination.

I WILD into a LD when i'm sleep deprived after a couple days of REDUCED sleep. No sleep alltogether is not fun and I do not get anywhere from it. THis past weekend I was drunk after not sleeping for like 40 hours and blacked out walking up the stairs.... it is dangerous as I have learned. Woke up with my face all messed up and swollen but I could have been blind or dead, ya know.

Id have to agree that purposely depriving yourself of sleep just to WILD is not a good thing. If you happen to be up for 24 hours for whatever reason. then when you do goto sleep its going to be much easier to go into a lucid dream. You just gotta make sure to stay aware. Don't completely let go. Most of my best lucid dreams have been from when i had not slept for 24 hours + Staying up for 24 hours + once in a while ain't going to hurt you much of course. So do it once in a while on a day off or something. Also ive always found it easier to WILD in the morning time. If its dark out, chances are your going to goto sleep. If you stay up till the morning and try to WILD, the light will keep you aware easier and you wont fall completly asleep
