Thread: Want to start having lucids now? I can help.

Second Attempt:

This night I had a technical problem, my alarm clock never woke me up to a WBTB because it was broken. But I randomly woke up 5 am, but then it was too late to start the CAN-WILD ramp.

As usual new attempt tonight.

Third Attempt: Succes!

Instead of trying to Deild this night I just fell asleep and asleep and asleep and suddenly I didn't woke up in my room anymore. I was dreaming and was aware of it!
But I didn't stabilze the dream... WHY!?! I have to make a mantra because I don't remember to stabilize I just rush into the dream and then I lose my lucidity.

But I am heading in the right direction, so I still see this as a succes, I was lucid anyway I really recommend more people to try this.

See you tomorrow xP

I Attempted this last night but the alarm mp3 i was using was a 5 and a half hour delay
i always wake up and cant go back to sleep
should i use a 3 1/2 hour delay then?

I use 5 hours delay.
First a normal alarmclock wakes me up 5h later, then I start the ramp and fall asleep directly.

Fourth Attempt:

This night I didn't even cared about trying to DEILD I just fell asleep everytime I woke up and I even moved then suddenly I woke up in the dream, but I wasn't lucid I was just very aware of the dream and I controlled myself. I controlled my body but I didn't now it was a dream.

Next night I try the same thing I don't try to DEILD only be aware of the dream and this time I remember to realitycheck too.

i usually am to awake to go back to sleep

Fifth Attempt:

This worked again and I got a new personalrec in lucid dream length.
I don't try to DEILD I just keep on fall asleep and after the 16 alarm I can't remember that I woke up again the 20 min alarm didn't woke me up instead it made me more aware of the dream and then the phantombeep made me lucid.
In this dream I looked at my hand and my middle finger was missing and I become more aware of that it was a dream. Then I did some stabilizing and I explored the dream nothing magical just walked around and looked around, pretty amazing view.
After som time I just wake up, but this time to the second 20 min alarm.
And it felt like the dream was 20 minutes, but I am not sure.
Anyway this method have made me lucid 2 times of 5 so far.
So I am going to start a LD Count now and when I can have lucid dreams 7 days in a week I'm gonna check off the "Wild at will" task

and LDJake if you can't fall asleep do some exercise during the day then just fall asleep and set the WBTB to 4 hours or 3 hours just try to find the perfect time.

I wanna try this but I'm afraid of any creepy sounds during SP...

Take it a step at a time, Conzo, each time going a little further. If you don't like what's happening you can always abort the attempt. Also, self-fulfilling prophecy - if you expect it to be frightening it will be.

Ok now for a little more extreme task

This method works so good for me, that I am going to try to have a lucid dream every night in a week. Lucid dream: When you know that you are dreaming.
I am going to try to stabilize the dream and have control too, but I will only focus this week on te awareness. Now it's Monday.

Wish me good luck, I will need it xP

yeah, ive decided to just try to get dild'ing down first
seems im not a sleepy person 0.o

i tried this twice this weekend.

stuffy nose, sore throat, beeps didnt always awaken me, or i couldnt fall back asleep in time.

i did discover that the 2hour mp3 was only reading 37mins on my phone (moto droid). i did a bit of peeking and it was reading a little over an hour on the computer? i re-encoded it from a VBR to a CBR mp3 and now it is the correct length. so who knows how many attempts (if any) that has affected.

Monday: Succes

I couldn't fall asleep after the first alarm but when I head the second alarm I could for soem reason fall asleep then I just snooze after each alarm and suddenly I woke up in a school and I knew I was dreaming, but I wanted to be sure so I looked at my hands, but they were as normal. I decided to do another rc I tried to put my finger through my palm but it failed then I performed a noseplug realitycheck and that worked and knew for sure that I was lucid. I have to go school now, but I really recommend others to try this method out.

Greetings,

I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am also new to lucid dreaming.

My first effort at LD was some three weeks ago. I followed the MILD technique by Joe Russa and was fortunate enough to experience three short lucid dreams one right after another the first night. I tried to duplicate this marvelous experience with MILD every night for the next week and was finally blessed with another wonderful experience, this time much longer and more satisfying.

Over the next week I tried to Wild coming close a couple times but not able to become lucid after the vibration and the static stage. Then yesterday I read this thread, downloaded the timer, and searched the internet for more information. I found extensive detailed information on youtube regarding this technique. Evidently this technique was first developed by SaltCube and then Lucidology is now trying to capitalize on it. I don't know if this forum allows links so if you want further information it can be found on youtube by using the key words of "Nicholas Newport", there are nine videos that cover the subject.

Anyway, I applied the information from this forum and from youtube and enjoyed another great lucid adventure last night! I am looking forward to tonight!

Thanks!

Tuesday: Succes

As usual I woke up in the dream and this time everything was really vivid and stable, after some time I started to worry about that the dream will end, and when I started to think that it did, I thought so anyway. I got a FA and were aware of it, but I though I was awake, I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or if I was awake, then I woke up in my bed again and did a reality check now I was awake...
But still second time lucid for this week But I really need to calm down when I get lucid.

welcome, and congratulations on getting this practice to work for you! it seems to have worked well!

matt saltcube is the same person as nicholas newport. lucidology is his company, so the information is all from the same place. there was brief mention of this earlier in this thread, and this thread:Stop Drop and Roll. Why Lucidology and Nicholas Newport are creating misinformation. expands on his controversy here on the forum.

congrats to mastermind as well, i have yet to succeed with this tech.

Okay, so this is what I am supposed to do.
Wake up after 5 hours of sleep. Set the Alarm on Ramp 4. Fall back asleep normally.
Wake up from first alarm, don't move or open eyes, enter sleep paralysis, or my case fall back asleep. When four minute timer goes off repeat. Then the 3rd timer goes off, now I should be deep in SP, and just keep repeating until I am in a lucid. What happens once it reaches the zero mark and goes off every 6 minutes?

I think I'm gonna try this.

I will be attempting this to tonight. Hopefully I won't be bothered every six minutes at the end haha.

On the first night that I tried this timer technique I became aware that I was dreaming during the first 20 minute period. I used the recommended medicine bottle technique of pushing down and levitating 90 degrees to separate. I ended up in my bedroom and then traveled on from there, so I guess this would be classified as an OBE rather than a LD? The second 20 minute alarm ended my adventure.

Last night did not pan out due to wind and rain.

Wednesday: Succes + App tip

This time I tried to figure out how to find the "sweet spot" before attempt to CAN-WILD. I buyed a ipod app that monitors the sleep cycle when I move in my sleep and it woke me up around 3. When I woke up to this WBTB I were really alert and tired at the same time, so this was perfect. Then I started the ramp and fell asleep easily.
I was totally awaer of the dream, the most vivid that I have ever had.
I don't have time to write down the whole dream now, but it ended with that I met my friend and I told him that he was dreaming and I gave him a code word.
Then I woke up. When I meet him today I will see if he knows xD
See ya!

this woke me up after setting it on three hundred minutes, then fell back asleep, woke me up again, but my eyes remained shut and my body didn't move, then it went off again but couldn't fall back asleep, I am now sitting eating some cereal waiting for this tylenol pm to kick in.

I find that I need to wake up for 45 minutes after sleeping for 5 hours. Due to my past attempts in trying to LD over the past month, I am now conditioned to wake up after sleeping 5 hours without using an alarm. When I go back to bed I have three additional times set in the timer on my notebook that come up first, 4 min, 3 min, and 4 min. This allows me the time to relax using the Stop, Drop, and Roll technique moving to the next position when the alarm sounds. This way I don't have to start the alarm after I am relaxed. I really don't know yet how effective this is, for in a few minutes I will be making my third attempt.

This time I tried to figure out how to find the "sweet spot" before attempt to CAN-WILD. I buyed a ipod app that monitors the sleep cycle when I move in my sleep and it woke me up around 3.

I used this same iphone app and found that it monitored my movement but not my REM dreams cycles.

Hmm ok I found another one "Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock" going to try this tonight

I just turned the alarm off, I woke around 6 am, attempted a WILD and succeeded. But this thing didn't help.
