Effects of Water on LDs

I’ve been doing this for only 2 days but it seems to work really well because I used to never have LDs. .I drink a lot of water before I go to bed (not so much that I can get water intoxication) and in those 2 days 1 I’ve had 2 LDs in a row and the other one I’ve had 1.

 I think people should try it out.Maybe it will work for them like it worked for me :smile:.

P.S. I got the idea from a post that said a well-hydrated mind is a well-thinking mind or something along those lines.

Ooh I’ll try… I neglect drinking because I hate the taste of water -.-; I really should learn to like it…

How much water did you drink? I usually have some water before sleeping but nothing happens, but a few times I’ve drank like a glass or two and I remembered my dream vividly!

Like until I feel like can’t drink any more.

That’s like after 1 glass to me… XD
Or is it okay to drink it with cordial/squash/whatever people call that stuff ._.

Dunno haven’t tried it.But I wouldn’t, the squash might have it’s own effects and cancel out the water’s effects.

You’re not alone…

I always have to put lemon in my water… D:

Even then, I don’t drink it that much.

:hmmm: I’m gonna try this tonight. Maybe it’ll cause me to WBTB naturally so I can make my first attempt at WILD :content:

I had a LD tonight and a ND and I drunk water.Cool, eh?I didn’t even use a technique.(Not that I usually do…I just let it come.)

I always have really vivid dreams and I do keep myself well hydrated all day, I’ve never really thought that there was a correlation but I suppose there could be. Hmm, maybe I’ll try the oposite and see if I have less vivid dreams when not hydrated.

Although, thinking on it, I’ve had a lot of LD’s and incredibly vivid ND’s when really dehydrated, with fevers (or just being drunk) so I don’t know.

it might be both… You need to be at either extreme in order to have LDs.

I stopped drinking (water) lately after drinking much before, and my dreams have faded.

You’ve had 6 LD’s without using any tecs!? :eek:
T3RM worships darkdude :bow:
I drank a glass of water right before going to bed and nothing happened…

you have to drink more then 1 glass. try drinking about 3 glasses

interresting … i might try this one out … (hey how about somebody researching this in the Lab ? )

thats a good idea! :grin: someone should!

I was thinking about posting it in the Lab Discussion area but then just posted it here.

Yes, I have.No WBTB or anything.

I didnt find this technique very useful. I drank a bottle of water before I went to sleep, which is not much considering how much water I drink. Well I woke up about an hour and a half later to use the restroom. And there wasnt a difference in my dreams.

I do that too xD but no lemon at the moment T_T;

I might actually try harder since this helps dreams =
Hates the people who say water has no taste D:<!

From what I know (& have read), it is one of the theoretical techniques of becoming lucid - though I have forgot its name (the usual dreamsign is seeing toilets/water/rivers etc…). The reason why it is not well known/used/researched is the risks that can occur (make sure you do a reality check each time you go to the toilet!).
