Lucid Dreaming World

Anonymous asked: Oh no, i mean he has only done lucid dreaming that one time. We're just concerned about his sleep cause it hasnt been the same since he tried this. He doesnt have bad dreams or worry or any of that, he just wakes up sometimes which does cause him to lack sleep, and he gets tired often. Im asking because it started when he tried lucid dreaming and I was wondering if you knew a way we could try to fix this problem?

Hmm, I can’t think of something which would cause this. I’m no professional, so it would be best if you ask a doctor. Or get in touch with Rebecca Turner, who runs the website ‘Lucid Dreaming World.’ She might be able to help you, so ask at the forum: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/forum/

Anonymous asked: my boyfriend tried lucid dreaming and since that time his sleep hasn't really been the same. he gets tired more often when he usually wouldn't be before and he can't really sleep thoroughly, like he would wake up from time to time at night. do you know some ways he could try to get his sleep back to normal?

Has he been setting an alarm to wake him up throughout the night and then staying up for short periods of time? If so, he could be lacking sleep required. Sometimes being nervous or worried about lucid dreaming can keep you up and cause you to be tired. If also depends on what you dreamt of; if you have nightmares, you will find you’re tired the next day. Trying to hard to take control of a dream when you’re a beginner can cause tiredness. Plus, sleeping too much can make you tired; a lot of lucid dreamers are eager to sleep, but it’s important not to overdo it! 

cowwin asked: I wrote "R U Dreaming?" in specific spots in my room ; are these effective reality checks?

Yes, that’s a good way to help you remember to do reality checks.

I added a new page to my Tumblr, ‘Videos.’ It has the link to my You Tube channel. Please be patient if it hasn’t displayed yet.

You Tube now requests I put adverts on my videos. I know they’re annoying, but I can’t do anything about it :(

I’m currently uploading a new lucid dreaming video, which is called Lucid dreaming - false awakenings.

Sorry I haven’t been posting much recently ;)

Anonymous asked: K. so when I wake up extremely tired I end up going back to sleep... somewhat. I'm able to wake myself up if i remember that I have to go to school but during that time i'm dreaming. Do you know if those are new dreams that are happening that moment or are they dreams that I remember from that night? Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

Not sure what you mean!

Anonymous asked: i tried lucid dreaming for the first time last night but when i opened my eyes to see if i had done it, it was the same dark room that i went to sleep in so im unsure of what i should look for? i felt a weight on my chest so i think i was lucid dreaming but im really unsure, any tips for my second go tonight :)?

What you are attempting to do is the WILD technique. When using this technique, you mustn’t open your eyes; doing so will only alert your brain that you are awake. The pressure on your chest is a sign that you were close. Maybe this link will help you: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/wake-induced-lucid-dreams.html

amongthefieldsofbarley asked: Hey! :) I have a problem, a lot of the time, I get false awakenings. I find false awakenings great to be able to lucid dream because it's so vivid and I am 100% aware I am dreaming BUT whenever I have a false awakening in my bedroom, I find it sooo difficult to move! It's easy again when I get out of my room. It's just in my room, I can hardly ever make my way to the door, so I end up waking myself up. Any advise to stop this? Tnx :)

Whenever you wake up, you should do a reality check. Even if you can’t remember a dream or it wasn’t lucid, you should still do this. Make it a habit. Then when you do get a false awakening, you’ll be able to recognise that you’re dreaming. Then stay calm to stabilise the dream.
