WBTB
|
Rated green.
This technique has been successful in
scientific research and/or is part of a
commercial book about lucid dreaming. |
WBTB stands for “Wake-Back-To-Bed”.
Wake yourself up after 4 to 6 hours of sleep,
get out of bed and stay up for anywhere between
a few minutes to an hour before going back to
bed. It's preferable that you do something
related to lucid dreaming during this time (such
as reading about lucid dreaming), but it is not
required. This is best combined with other
techniques; many people have amazing results
with a MILD/WBTB combination.
The WBTB technique significantly increases your
chance of a lucid dream, and using MILD (see
below) in conjunction with it puts you at good
odds if you're planning to sleep an hour or more
after your WBTB session. However, you might need
plenty of sleep time and therefore you may only
be able to use it at weekends.
I am sometimes awake for very short times, but
cannot pull myself together enough to get up and
out of bed. What can I do?
Put a bright piece of paper on the wall or
ceiling so that you will see it when you wake
up. Other stimulus could be a hot water bottle,
an alarm clock or a light turned on under your
bed. After you get a lucid dream with this
method, you'll find it easier and easier to get
out of bed because you'll have more motivation.
