being consciously awake while dreaming

[Coelho]

no with practice you become better and better... but like i said, REM (deep) sleep is the enemy of it... if you take pills you're basicly exempt from lucid dreaming... also if you haven't slept in a good while...

if you're a light sleeper you're a good candidate for learning it.

Just one detail here... the REM sleep is not the deep one.

In REM, the brain is active and the body inactive, and this is when most dreaming occurs. (...)

In NREM sleep, the body is active and the brain inactive, and there is relatively little dreaming. Non-REM encompasses four stages; stages 1 and 2 are considered 'light sleep', and 3 and 4 'deep sleep'.

from Sleep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Anyway... im in fact a light sleeper. I LOVE to sleep, so i sleep more than my body needs... and, its when i usually have this lucid dreams. So, more a good reason for sleeping...
