My big problem is getting my dream recall better. I've had one lucid dream using the WILD method(actully I WILD'd inside of a dream it was pretty odd, so techinclly it was a DILD). To remember your dreams you have to wake urself up constatly, but as soon as that alarm goes off my dream fades away. What's a good way to do it?
Hi Jefkee,
Waking up to a blaring alarm can definitely make it difficult to remember ones dreams, as remembering ones dreams sometimes requires staying very still and not moving until the dream comes back to mind, which is very difficult to do when an alarm is blaring.
There are several ways to wake yourself up during the night without having an alarm blaring, with probably the best way being that of programming your mind to wake you up automatically when you start dreaming by thinking to yourself when you go to sleep that you will wake up either after an hour and half has elapsed, or when you start dreaming.
As a back up method in case that this doesn't work, you could still use several alarm clocks to wake you up, but they would need to be ones that would wake you up to a pleasant sound like a koo koo clocks or a rooster crowing, and which will shut themself off automatically after a minute or so, so that you don't have to get out of bed, but can stay in bed and concentrate on remembering your dream. I have several battery operated alarm clocks with pleasant sounds like this that I have used by setting each one to go off an hour and a half after each other. Sometimes they would wake me up every hour and half right in the middle of my dreams, and other times I would sleep through the first two alarms and wake up during the third one after 4 1/2 hours of sleep. If you end up sleeping thru the first 2 alarms set at 1 1/2 hours and 3 hours, then you were probably too tired to wake up and needed your sleep anyway. Without fail the 3rd one would always wake me up.
A better way than this would be to use a program like the Brainwave Generator, which can be purcahsed for $40, and which can be used create sounds (binarual beats) to listen to from your computer at night, but to use this you would need a computer close enough to your bed to run either a headset or a couple of small speakers to each side of your bed. Learning how to create files to listen to with the Brainwave Generator program would probably take you a weekend to learn how to do, but after you learned how to use the program you would be able to create your own sounds to listen to while you sleep at night.
To use the Brainwave generator program you could create a program with low beats to put you to sleep and take you to a deep state of sleep for the first 60 minutes, and then raise the beats and the sound frequency after about an hour to and hour and half to bring you closer to a waking state and help you wake up in your dreams. I usually start raising the beats after 60 to 66 minutes because I have a lot of dreams that occur during this time.
Although I am currently still fine tuning my own Brainwave generator program to allow me to continue sleeping and become lucid in my dreams, I was able to remember 170 dreams last month using a program I created with it, which is about twice the normal amount of dreams I would remember.
Hope this helps. :)
roll your eyes in the back of your head that s how to wake up.
I wkae up automatically so I can remeber my dream.
When going to sleep, chant "tonight I will remember my dreams". And eventually you will. That's how I did it, and I went from rarely dreaming to always dreaming, and that's quite a step.
