Thread: Does Sleeping Longer Necessarily Make For Better Ld'ing?

I have a similar situation. I sleep from about 11:00 to about 6:00.

From my experience LDs can come almost anywhere in the night. My first WILD was after sleeping only 2 hours or so. But generally, they come toward the end of the night after more hours of sleep. And I find I have more dream recall on days where I get to sleep in longer. So if you have the option to go to bed earlier, it may help.


My two cents....

ur the best btw

Most of my LD's occur after I wake up in the morning on weekends at around 8 maybe, and then fall back asleep. So in the morning usually I guess you could say... with lots of sleep under my belt already.

so if I go to bed and wake up two hours later... spend 30 minutes checking stuff on the computer then go back to sleep, will the dream right after that have a higher success of being a lucid dream? I might have to try starting WILD's by doing that...

If you are responding to my statement where I had a WILD after two hours sleep, I don't know. It's worth a try.

All I can say is that is what worked for me the first time I tried to WILD. I haven't done too much with the WILD method. All the rest of mine have been DILDs, sometimes doing the WBTB in the later part of the night.

Good luck.

I find that four to five hours is a better set-up for WILD... but I think it depends on the person. WILD is a technique you sort of have to fine-tune for yourself, which takes a while. I haven't got it yet, but am getting close to "breaking through" I think. Half the problem is finding the motivation after only 4 hours' sleep to make a serious effort and not just give up halfway through.
