Thread: Testing a slightly refined method of AILD

hello

this seems like a good idea let me try this tonight il give you my results tomorow

This is another form of external dreamsign/reality check inducement... and it *does* work

What needs care here, is the volume. Too loud, and you wake up. Too soft, and you don't notice it.
Unfortunately I can't try this myself, because I don't sleep alone
(And earphones irritate me)

If you have a Windows media player on your PC you can go to the options and then go to playback and choose the option that says, "Play continuously".
It then repeats over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Uhh Ya . You get the point.

Also the Stephen Laberge's trance Induction Cd that Peregrinus own exerpts to the end of the 15 minute induction. Or the beginning.

Ok I finally tested it and I failed miserably it took me 40min to sleep but then I woke up 2 hours later with no dream recall.. (I took an afternoon nap)

Il try again

i think the key to this method is relaxation. Just relax and listen to the sound of your voice. I read the other AILD method that says have someone else say it, but if you recognize your voice wouldnt you say, " hey Thats MY voice" and you should realize that youre dreaming.

Have someone else record it. Also set it as an alarm to go off after about 2-3 hours, and start repeating. This way, you never hear it before, and it becomes more effective.

This may work better if you put your self into a trance before listening. Sort of a hypnosis hybrid.

The way ive tried this was using the repeat function on my stereo and putting it on a volume so I can barely hear it. This way it doesnt hinder my getting to sleep and also it seemed to have an effect even at that close to inaudible volume. I think the real key to it is to get the volume adjusted to the point where, as Doc said, you can be relaxed enough to get to sleep.

I bought a CD that has a couple of tracks that keep repeating, "Are you dreaming" Etc. over and over, and it seems to just keep me awake most of the time. I think your or my brain can build up a tolerance to any constant noise or sound and it zones it out. Sort of like Brain Entrainment. If you look that up you'll see that your brain can make its own simulated sounds and I think conversely drowned it out. Therefore I would suggest intervolves of silence between repetitions of sound such as (and this is just a guess- 30 minutes) because of the different stages of sleep and the 90 min rem cycles. The timing would be experimental but I think worth trying. I am going to try "Are you dreaming?" 4 or 5 times then 20 min. silence. The way I look at it, the whole Idea is to get your attention, not to sing yourself to sleep. I'll let you know how I make out in a few days.
