yes, definitely. this is a huge reason for me too. i also find it much easier to become lucid in my dreams after i've been sleeping for 4+ hours and wake up.

reminds me of one of the coolest dream state experiences i've had. i had woken up after sleeping for like 6 hours or something and was still tired as shit. so i turned off my alarm as opposed to snooze, because well, fuck it ya know. anyway, while i was drifting off i tried really hard to stay consciously aware. like thinking to myself "i'm falling asleep" and focusing on the light show (i always see this weird firework type lights when i'm falling asleep). then something weird happened. the lights started turning into swirling colors and it felt like i was being ripped out of my body and sucked through a worm hole with an orgasm of colors. i literally felt the woooooooooosh like i was on a roller coaster.

then the colors started to blend, and form shapes, like a bad picaso painting. the whole time i was just watching it all happen, knowing that i was really in bed falling asleep. the colors started to form more defined shapes, and kind of like puzzle pieces but not really, were being put together. once it was complete i was in my dream and fully lucid/aware. i did a keanu reeves 'woah' then ran around and did dream stuff.

i read about it before in a book, exploring the world of lucid dreams, and it's called a wild - wake induced lucid dream and apparently you can train yourself to do this. i did it a few times after as welll but nothing was as cool as that time. has anyone elsedone this or had a really lucid dream? so cool.

anyway, about today, i set my alarm for 9am and holy fucking shit i got out ofbed 5 seconds after it went off. it was the hardest thing i've done in my life (rough life). i got up, brushed my teeth, then went back into the bedroom to get my laptop. instead, i went back under the covers and slept until 10. so, i got up right away, but still failed.

bye.
