Thread: Can you have lucid dreams during naps?

I was just wondering.

Definitely. In fact, many people use naps to enter Wake Induced Lucid Dreams, since when you nap your body is trying to catch up on lost REM sleep, making WILDing easier during naps.
I experienced one of my first WILDs by taking an afternoon nap.

Yeah, you definitely can. With naps, you may notice stronger sensations (especially you had lack of sleep frequently) or nothing at all, since you'll drift into sleep a bit faster before being aware. I had moments in naps where the desire to sleep was so strong, I ended up getting into a dream like state quickly and was lucid for a good bit. But ultimately, how you become lucid during naps is just as varied as attempting them during longer sleep periods and periods after a WBTB is performed.

Napping is the only way that I can reach lucidity unless I get really, really lucky one night. I'm being completely serious.

Yeah, for me I DILD with regular sleep, but I can only WILD with naps and it works well.

Something similar to an out of body experience happened to me in a nap.
Very clear, and very disturbing.
It is one of those rare moments that I can not forget.

Thanks guys, haha I just wanted to know. who knows I might have more luck with naps than i do at night

I already had 2 lucid dreams during naps! Although they were really short.

Actually, my first LD was during a nap!
