Thread: Lucid dreaming as soon as you go to bed?

we dream in both REM and non REM. but these are different sorts of dreams, the dreams in REM are a lot more negative.

i tried my first WILD, at 11pm, it was really really hard, and i failed and got frustrated.

what really helps with the WBTB, is because you were just asleep, going back to sleep is really easy and fast.
kinda like if you play a sport, stop for 10 mins, and when you start playing again, you find it much easier (kinda.....).

is especialy helps if when you get back into bed you go back to sleep in the position you woke up in, kind of like an anchor.

How so?

Only once (that I can recall) have I ever had an LD in my first two or three sleep cycles. It was a DILD and it wasn't due to sleep deprivation. It was a fairly low level LD.

Good question. And, if you had one lucid dream right after going to bed and slept until sunrise, would it be possible for you to know WHEN that dream occurred during the sleep cycle? That's another good question.

I'll simply say no because with a normal sleep cycle you should not be dreaming in the first few hours. I don't even have vivid dreams during afternoon naps unless I've had less than 4-5 hours of sleep the night before.

I also remember reading that maintaining consciousness during deep sleep in some kind of extremely deep and difficult form of meditation.
