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

Is it possible to have a luvid dream immediately after going to bed? Also what would be the best technique to use to do it? Thanks for any replies

To be honust I don't really know.

But I believe dreams happen in REM sleep rather than NREM sleep. I may be wrong.

I would assum that WILD would be the best technique to use for it.

It works if you are really tired. Just try to WILD. People sleep deprive themself for a day or 2 and then WILD and it works, i have heard.

You won't get a proper lucid under normal circumstances. Yeah you may if you're sleep-deprived, but what's the point??

I once managed to WILD straight after going to bed. It was my first LD ever after I learned what lucid dreaming is. And no, I don't remember depraving my sleep before. I was lying still counting my breaths but my mind was wandering a bit because of HI and when I realized that I'm drifting off, there was some really strong HI which got me into a dream. That felt awesome, really. This happened like ummmm half a year ago (?), since then I haven't succeeded with WILDing again but I keep on trying it every night, it doesn't require putting a lot of effort in it. If it'll work, I'll be happy, if it won't, whatever

Edit: this LD lasted like 10 mins from what I remember

Ok I'll try it then because i've not had a decent night sleep for a few days also thank you for all your replies, will it make a difference if i go to bed earlier than usual?

I recommend going to bed when your mind tells you to. It does wonders.
I often feel very tired but I stay awake instead of going to bed and I regret it because 1-2h later when it's my usual bed time, I don't feel so tired any more.

So sure, if you feel tired, you should go to bed earlier.

I agree.

I was going to say that it is possible by maybe going to bed extremely tired and attempting the WILD.
