Lucid Dreaming | WBTB Technique

Wake back to bed (WBTB) involves entering REM sleep while you’re still conscious.

Try this:

  1. Set an alarm for five hours after you go to bed.
  2. Go to sleep as usual.
  3. When the alarm goes off, stay up for 30 minutes. Enjoy a quiet activity like reading.
  4. Fall back asleep.

When you go back to sleep, you’ll be more likely to lucid dream.

While you’re awake, choose any activity that requires full alertness.
