Well i can wild in sitting up position to…so mm maybe it aint that important…Think the most important is your back, neck and head are in a straight line because of yoga and meditation knowledge.
Lding i do best on my back.
I think that we all have our own best position or some positions for wilding or lding
Bingo! I think I made a theory now because I did replayed what I did last night. I ended up wilding and had several lucid dreams ON MY SIDE! I believe that, the position you’re sleeping in, plays a small factor in lucid dreaming, however, it can becomes a big factor somehow. For me, it’s playing a small factor right now… I don’t know how to prove this.
What I have found is a big factor for wilding and having Lucid Dreams are to follow your mind, let it wander. You will notice that your mind will become even more abstract. For me, I have noticed that I started to think of certain thing and everything starts to make sense… BOOM! The vibration comes and what I have thought of abstractly is totally forgetten. It’s almost like entering from a world full of thoughts into a world of blackness. Before entering the world of blackness… I feel that all solutions are at the surface in your mind. It happens to me, I was thinking of something and all of a sudden, I have found a breakthrough answer. Unfortunately, I forget them all.
Sorry if I’m getting off-topic here, but I have been experimenting with my sleeping positions and see if it is a factor in my WILDs so I thought I’d mention here.
I had an LD. I woke up in the middle of the night and i remembered to lye on my back. But it was not confort, and i turned on my side. I slept ot an LD and woke up my stomach. I think that the intention was the key!

2 nights ago… I ended up wilding on my back. I fell asleep on my side at first then I got uncomfortable while my mind was wandering so I slowly turned on my back. All of a sudden, I entered into a dreamworld. So, maybe the “comfortable” is a key factor here. I don’t know. Just thought you’d like to know.
Well, I remember reading that your right side (a lions resting posture and buddha’s death position) is the best to re-enter a dream and become lucid.
It works for me, but I wouldn’t ever limit myself to any one posture
i remember a dream, where a voice told me to lay on my right side to have the best chances for a LD! you think i should follow this advice!
i never had a real LD yet!
I find that the best way is to change positions whenever one of them becomes too comfortable for me(which is about once every few months),or else I might start having dream droughts.
Either way I almost always wake up on my back or side.
for me it seems that it’s when I change position durring the night when I have more chance of LDs and better recall - perhaps it’s more about your body being used to the old position and not the new one that keeps your awareness up for a small time longer? who knows
Yeah, that might be possible. Just be a bit discomfortable (not that discomfortable that you can’t even fall asleep), it might help you to render your consciousness a bit longer.
Whenever I have attempted WILD, I feel I have got closer when I have been on my side, simply because this feels like my natural sleeping position, so I become more relaxed.
If I try WILD on my back, I become too concious of the fact that I’m not in my normal sleeping position.
So I would say, use whatever position you normally use to sleep in, because you want your body to fall asleep, it’s your mind that you want to keep awake.
I’ve always slept on my back, but last night I tried sleeping on my side with a pillow between my knees for the first time. I went to bed at 10pm and I woke up from a very long and detailed LD at 11:53pm !!! Not even 2 hrs had gone by! I’ve only had a few LDs and they’ve never been this real. Needless to say, I will now always sleep on my side to see how that affects me.
I read in a book a while back that the best sleeping position for a male is on his side and facing left (heart is up). For a female, she should be facing right (heart closer to the bed.) Maybe it was placebo from having read that, maybe not, but it’s worth a try everyone.
Everytime I have a lucid dream I was sleeping on my right side.
The dream yoga book I have says that sleeping on that side (left side for women) is good for channeling positive energy through your body as you sleep.
