Lucid Dreaming

It won't give you free vr, but it is a cool in between being awake and being asleep.

Really odd feeling.

Well the easiest way to do it is think sbout it a lot and keep a dream journal. That's basically a shotgun approach as the more (oh and do reality checks like counting your fingers offen) you think about it the more likely you are to dream about it.

Wild is a ton of fun though. It's basically hallucinating without drugs. Really hard to do right and scary as hell if you let it be.

Try this during the weekend, it worked for me
Go to sleep at around 5pm and set an alarm for 9pm
When you wake up go to sleep around 30-60min
I don't guarantee it works for you but it wotked for me several times and I discovered it by accident
Now if you do manage to lucid dream it will feel sort of like real life but everything will have that dream haziness to it
Also the dream will still be subject to randomness like regular dreams, lucid dreams can not be controlled
A good way to check if you're dreaming is to firce yourself to open a door in a dream, since you know what to expect in real life but not inside a dream

one problem tho, I find it really hard to sleep in the day

Sorry OP, but lucid dreaming is fake. Lucid dreaming is merely the belief that you have control in the dream. In reality the dream is just playing itself as it normally would, but you are convinced that the actions taken are entirely your own. It's just bullshit false attribution

I've had a few. I went through a stretch of having only lucid dreams for a while too. I know people talk about looking for cues while you're dreaming like clocks and lightswitches but I can't really do that.

I found that the ideal way for me to lucid dream was to take a nap, rather than go to sleep for the night. It often helped if I had a tshirt tied around my eyes (the way I do sometimes to keep the sun out), something about having something physical on your sleeping body that isn't on your dream body seems to help you realize it's a dream. I would basically lie down and try and visualize things on the inside of my eyelids, try and draw a scene until I was actually in one. Eventually I'd feel like I was asleep with a paralyzed body but that my mind was awake and could stand up and walk around. That's the only way it's worked for me.

Usually I'd get too freaked out that I was actually awake and so I'd wake myself up before doing anything cool. Metaphor for my life maybe.
