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

trying this out tonight! Night all!

Will this work with headphones... I dont want to wake my family

I tried this method a couple of times, and the first time i tried it i almost had SP where i felt a wave of energy rush over my body. I got scared and flinched myself out of it, so i decided to turn the alarm off. The next day i tried it again but i was interupted by what i can only describe as a Night Terror 1 hour into sleep. So i was just wondering if this method induced a Night Terror because this is the second time its happened?

The problem I am having with this is I cant get back to bed at all during it. I think the problem is I know the alarm is going to beep and its making me anxious. Im going to try it again tonight.

First of all, Sorry for my english.
I will do this (my) combination technique tonight, maybe you wanna try it, or give some critics

after I read all the reply here, I found some problem that people and I have.

1. Some people here, couldn't fall back assleep directly after they set up the timer, they need a more longer period of time before they got back to sleep.
So, I decided to use the visualization technique when I couldn't back to sleep directly (it just like you are trying to have a day dreaming that lead you into assleep), just visualize what will you do or what makes you happy in a dream, keep visualize until you bored or day dreaming.

2. then, if I got too wake up during the Ramp4 "orchestra", I will do the following technique
a. if I woke up with my eyes open, then I will do visualization technique, roll over when i got bored (Roll over is important based on Naiya WILD Method) do this until I either enter a lucid dream or past.
b. If i woke up with my eyes closed, then I will do WILD technique (I will use meditation technique, that is observing my breath), I will keep try this as long as possible until I get into a lucid dream or past.
c. if I am very tired during the time, or forget about the technique (a & b) or the alarm don't wake me up (after period o. I just keep assleep, and give it a try my MILD techinque.

the key is "take it easy", don't force, do it naturally
Meditation is the best powerfull natural technique.

Do I follow the time intervals that were already there or do I have to change it? Thank you by the way

I dont have a computer near my bed by i do have the lucidoligy MP3s on my ipod beside my bed and i have tried using them before. if someone can explain to me what exactly the softwarre does i can make a playlist using timed silences and the 3 second beeps to mimic what this is doing. How often? how many ? when to start and stop? thanks !

everytime the first beep goes off i forget to stay still haha

I started off like that, but give it a few times and you''ll get the hang of it. Or practice staying still every time you wake up in the morning too.

So do you have success with this method? Is it your main method of induction?

More or less, though it isn't quite how it works for me. For the thread starter, the alarm makes him lucid during a dream, and when it wakes him he doesn't try to stay conscious. For me, it wakes me up every time. At this point, I lay still and make sure I remain conscious, so that I can enter a typical WILD. I always set the alarm in case I fall into unconsciousness n sleep normally. Stops me from completely failing - I get another few tries then. ^_^ However, it also shortens my WILDs to about 10 minutes long if successful (next alarm going off).

Third attempt and I got lucid.
The second time I woke up from the beep, I turned it of. I turned it of because I thoguht it might wake up my brother, and I should try another day. I went to sleep and "woke up" in a parking lot.
I immediately knew I was dreaming. I guess the lucid part of the dream had a lenght of 2-3 minutes, but it was awsome! I even induced a tornado

Awesome man. Was this your first lucid ever?

This was my third this month, but the others where so random and short so I decided to try out your method. (I also recall many more dreams after using your method)
I also used your EXTENDING LUCID DREAM TIME AND INCREASING VIVIDNESS tutorial and it made the dream way more vivid. The dream could have been much longer, but I am a noob so I lost the lucidity.
But if I can combine these two methods, I think I will have pretty good success!

I'm appreciative of the post, atkins, but I was wondering if there is somewhere I could find a slightly more in-depth and neatly organized guide. Do you know where I could look?

I found a technique, some know of it, others may not. But it is called Can-Wild. There are variations but what it means is that you use a special kind of alarm designed with patterns to awake you at particular moments and to create false awakening and instant lucid dreams. I have a 99 percent success rate using this alarm and I am confident you will too. I had 4 in a row last night using this method again. So without further a due. This is the method and the alarm to use.

SAVE THIS to your computer. www.htcflash.com
This is an executable file but feel free to scan it. It is 100 percent clean.

DO NOT do this at bedtime. It will not work. Go to bed. Get 4-5 hours of sleep so that you will be awake in your longer REM periods. Now get out of bed for a very short period of time. 5 minutes while you are setting up the timer.

Run this timer on your computer and choose ramp 4. Then choose the 3 beeps, unless you are a heavy sleeper, then choose 9 or 27. Then click start/stop. Now, go to sleep. Thats it. That's all you have to actively do. This timer creates beeps in an alternating pattern for almost an hour, and at the end of the full pattern, it will then beep every 6 minutes indefinitely until you turn it off. Every time the alarm goes off, all you have to do is wake up. DO NOT open your eyes, do not roll over, DO not move... Each time the alarm goes off and wakes you up, just go back to sleep.. the timer pattern is set in a way to make you lucid during a dream.. and usually suddenly in the middle of a dream you will just realize you are dreaming.. if this does not make you lucid in a dream, you still have no failed.. each time the alarm goes off and wakes you up. DO NOT OPEN YOUR EYES, do not roll over, do not move.. Lay perfectly still.. but try your best to stay awake. listen to the sounds around you.. count to yourself, count your breaths, whatever you like. if you lay still and do not move.. you will usually feel the SP wave within seconds... as you feel this wave of numbness come over your body.. sometimes the vibrations and rushing noises will also accompany it.. just lay there.. when everything is silent again, and or you are in a dream.. you will be lucid.. usually after the numbness and heaviness goes away, everything goes silent.. i just get up out of bed and am in the dream world.. Anytime you do this method with this timer, you will have lots of false awakenings.. waking up in the bed in a dream is very very common with this technique... always do reality checks like pinching your nose and breathing just to be sure you are actually dreaming... ANYTIME you find that you are in fact dreaming... DO NOT just go around enjoying your lucid.. first, take a minute to stabilize it and you will have a long enjoyable lucid.. follow my tutorial in my signature for more information on exactly what to do.. do it.. read it.. its easy and it works..

Once again the timer is the best way I have found to get lots of lucids.. usually every time the timer goes off and wakes me up. IF i lay perfectly still and focus on staying awake, I can get sleep paralysis and transform that into a lucid dreams.. I can usually have 2-5 at a time using this technique.. try it and report back, let me and everyone else know how it works... this is a quick easy way for totally new people to have their very first lucid experiences... from here.. you can take what you learn on transitioning and use it for other induction methods.. Please let me know how this works for everyone... I hope this helps a lot of you because Lucid dreaming is amazing... otherwise, we all wouldn't be here telling you to keep trying...

Hey the timer link wont work for me you mind getting another link please?

So let me get this straight - Set the alarm or use the mp3 on iphone leave for the speaker to go off. Wake up when it goes off, keep eyes closed don't move etc, try fall back to sleep within 8 mins, alarm goes off, wake up stay still again etc, try fall asleep in 4 minutes, alarm goes off. etc and i will eventually have a lucid dream during this period?? is this going to affect how tired i would be next day or what?
What's better the mp3 you can put on iphone/mp3 player or the laptop way??

im about to try this along with your LD extension technique BTW i have an alarm system set up where 6 beeps go off every 4 minutes 5 times will this work or do the times need to very or in other words be different times apart? the reason i ask is because i tried this not to long ago with a 5 minute span in between when i started the alarm and and when it went off but i fell asleep, i guess instantly, and wasn't affected by any alarm. anyways thanks for the re-inspiring me to try this technique out.

-best regards, icanhazayoyo
