Preliminary observations from the lucid dreams
I’ve been consistent with my dream journals now. Some preliminary observations validate that Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) is very effective in invoking lucid dreams. But I also find an adjacently emerging pattern where the lucidity is most deep when the previous night’s events were influenced with intense emotion (grief). This, combined with me waking up around 5 AM in distress and falling back to sleep in that emotional state is influencing the lucid dreams somehow How? differently. Grief influences REM in a way that no other techniques can replicate. The ‘emotion’ could be the key! It helps the brain reach somewhere Where? that it can’t reach normally with other techniques, giving more depth and meaning to the dreams.
