For three weeks solid I was on that "polyphasic" sleep pattern where I slept for 20 minutes every four hours(six naps every twenty four hours). The length of the naps eventually didn't seem to make a difference on how long the Lucid Dream lasted. On average, I felt like I was dreaming three dreams in a row that seemed to last around two hours each, but when I woke up from the nap, only 20 to 30 minutes would pass. Based on my experience with polyphasic sleeping, I take naps at or around the same frquesncy as 6 naps every 24 hours. I believe the idea of time napping should equal the time in a dream or lucid dream eventually faded away and I became more open to anything happening after about a week and a half.

I strongly encourage anybody interested in lucid dreaming and an open schedule to try out polyphasic sleeping. At first I experienced normal dreams, then more vivid dreams, then false awakenings, then lucid dreams. I have been having a busy schedule and haven't been able to practice polyphasic sleeping as faithfully as I would like.

My repsonse to the first question, I take as much naps as I possibly can either practising the WILD technique and practising hanging around in the hypnagogic realm.
