my dad is blaming it on the fact im trying to chang my dreams and i need to let nature take its course

Try waking up at different times. For example, I wake up at 2:30 AM, I can't go to sleep. I wake up at 3:30 AM, I can't wait to go back to sleep. I guess you try to time it where you don't wake up right after a deep sleep stage. Just my guess. But do try waking up at different times.

If insomnia still plagues you, try doing other stuff before bed. You don't necessarily have to wake up in the middle of the night.

And don't give up. I've been trying to induce a lucid for the last 30-something days. But I haven't given up, and I won't until my curiosity is purged.

ok but that does not help alot bucuse one of my problems is geting to sleep in the first place


this is depriving me of lds becuse im ether to awake to sleep or in a REALY deap sleep

I'm more or less the same, except I never get enough sleep... I guess one day a week when I don't have school I do. But yeah, I'm just not tired in the evenings, and I don't want to go to bed since I know I'll just lie awake for ages.

But then in the mornings I can hardly keep my eyes open. It's horrible. But then the evening of the same day I'm fine and not needing sleep. Meh. Help please.

I had one episode which was just like yours. There were times, i simply couldnt get asleep. It was becouse i tried the techniques i should try at WBTB before getting asleep. For me it was all about expectations. I expected to learn L. Dreaming as fast as possible. So i thought too much about it at evening and couldt fall asleep. These nights were not as good. It helped, when i changed my priorities. I removed most of exercises from the evening. Especially the ones concerning use of internal dialogue. It is really interesting how much dynamic internal dialogue provokes. It often includes side ideas and you are in merry go round.

Hope it helped.

Yeah it's really bad to keep internal dialogue on well going to sleep, and I exspecually have a hard time falling asleep if I'm trying to get to sleep .

Best thing I can do is just lay still, not roll over or anything, and just think about how I feel about stuff that happened in the day, not use words and everything but just think about it in senses, just don't what ever you do get hooked on some problem, that can give you one heck of a bad nights sleep, try thinking about things that comfort you and stuff, just don't use words, and let your mind take it's own course, and don't resist the small changes in thought, thats very important.

Blaming lucid dreams is like blaming a gun for killing someone.

Nothing to do with you trying to change your dreams. It's that it's way too much on your mind. You need to clear your mind before you go to sleep. Try this tutorial that I wrote: 99 Breaths to Relieve a Wandering Mind
