Alarm Method, it trains you also.

I discovered this method because me and my brother Kaimelar, put a alarm at different hours in the night after the six first hours of sleep, to remember our selves to lucid dream, he does WBTB and stuff. Well, everytime this alarm went off, it mixed up with my dream confusing me, and sometimes I even checked my cel-phone in the dream (yeahh.. in our case its the cel-phone alarm).

The idea is that you remember what the alarm sounds like, and in the dream know that its coming from the 'reality'. When you do this in your dream and you are aware, quickly begin to use techniques to return the vividness to the dream (like rub your hands,dream spinning, CLARITY NOW!!,etc ) that way if you don't make it intto the dream you really really gain points in your ability to maintain the vividness in the dream but also learn how to keep yourself focused in your dream state, and make it easy for you to not wake up just like that.

I think for some people this method can't work as well, because some people wake up immediately with their alarms and don't mix the alarm with their dreams. Im sure this method will work perfectly or at least gain alot of training in maintaining the vividness.

Well, i hope it can work for you ppl like I think 100% it will work for me. Post your comments please!

Thanks.

ya great idea. you guys should try this too. its the same thing but ...BETTER lol

basically make the first timer say like 300 minutes or whatever so u can have a nights sleep if u plan on not messing with it once u wake up. what it does is go down each timer and make a noise when it goes off every 4 to 8 minutes or whatever its at. each time it does it at a different time so eventually tricks your mind into haveing an LD. i havnt used it yet but i will tomorrow prolly. you guys should check it out. man thats cool u have a brother that tries to LD too. someone to share it with. man if anyone found out i was trying to LD they would institutionalize me. :roll:

I've been making my own lucid dreaming alarms on a free recording download called Wave Pad. I got the idea not that long ago when I started noticing my alarm going off while still in my dream. My alarm is the kind that makes that annoying beeping sound but it starts off really quiet and gets louder. It probably takes 12-15 seconds of it going off to wake me. So I decided to record my alarm onto this recording software and make my own Lucid dreaming alarm clock (which by the way would make someone millions if they designed an alarm clock specifically for lucid dreamers, I'm too lazy to do it).
So far I haven't had any succes with it though. I've only tried it a few times and had to make some adjustments. When I wake up after 5 hours of sleep I hit play on my computer and I have it set to have 15 minutes of silence before it goes into the alarm. The key is to have it at a perfect volume so it gets just loud enough to catch your dreaming attention but not wake you. I have it set so it goes from quiet to louder and then drops from louder to quiter. The alarm goes off for 20 seconds and then silence again. I've been messing around with how much silence to put between alarms. Like on one I have the alarm go off every 30 seconds for 3 sets then silence for 5 minutes before doing it again.
The problem I've had so far with it is that when I wake and hit play and know there's 15 minutes of silence before it goes off I can't fall to sleep so it will go off and it makes it even harder to fall to sleep. Plus I haven't been able to get the sound level good enough and it gets too loud and wakes me.
I'm sure with more work with this that it will work but I think I LD enough to where I really don't neet it. It would just be cool to develope something that works all the time.

let us know if it works one day.

i have also been doing something similar to that. ive been putting lucid dreaming brainwave MP3s on a free "daily alarm clock" i downloaded at www.download.com
and so far it has given me a vivid dream and it was very unusual. usually it wakes me up but i found the perfect volume and then it worked kinda. youd be surprised how good you can hear while dreaming. i tested the volume while awake and it was low then i woke up it sounded really loud and annoying. so i put it almost unhearable the next day and it incorporated intself into the dream without waking me finally.
