Ambient noise while trying to lucid?

[chini]

I sleep with my fan on low every night because I find the ambient noise helps me fall asleep and covers the sounds of my family opening and closing doors, talking etc. I'm wondering if this could interfere with trying to lucid though. I'm starting to try the FILD/WILD technique after 3 or 4 hours of sleep every night. I'd appreciate feedback or experiences you may have had involving the use of ambient noise, thank you!

I don't think it would, i've had lucids while having my ceiling fan on, some people have claimed that fans help them sleep. Just as long as the fan isn't up too loud, and like you said you have yours on low, so that's fine. If you have your fan on too loud it might prevent you from falling asleep.

I think it's Naiya who actually uses the sounds of her fan in her WILD attempts. I usually have a fan on for the same reasons as you and it hasn't stopped me having LDs.
