Yeah, I tried this last night, timer and all, and I guess it was too quiet, as I only woke up twice before sleeping through the other alarms, and I also moved during one, which screwed me over. I did have many more dreams than normal (usually I have 4-5 dreams, last night I had 3 then 6 during the alarms, all a decent length).
And after the alarms were finished and I was just half falling asleep, I had a dream in which I noticed something was odd and then I felt all tingly, like S.P. I was kicked out of the dream, but still, this is something better than just dreaming in the morning.

I'm going to repeat the alarms tonight, make them louder, and hopefully I can turn a light hazy dream into one that is deeper, but I still notice the odd things.
