Hi Sivason, thanks for posting. I did have a sneaky motive behind PM'ing you and hope you dont mind When I saw your earlier post which said that you use this DIELD alarm technique I knew you would have a lot of information that could help others, much more so than me as I have only been trying this for a few days with only a DILD to show for it. I have a few questions which I feel all other beginners may start to ask and we would very much appreciate and respectfully ask if you could shine some light on the following questions so that we can all fine tune this technique to our own findings.

1) The app i have can play any sound or music of my choice including voice recordings, so i am spoilt for choice. What would you recommend as an alert and a time length. I have put some examples below that I have been playing about with.

a) My own voice recording saying 'keep still, eyes closed, reenter dream' for 3 seconds
b) Some relaxing music (leona lewis) that fades in and fades out over 5 seconds
c) a general non specific standard noise alarm (beeping) for 3 seconds

Also, I set my alarm for every 15 mins after 7 hours of sleep. What has been happening is that every time the alarm goes off i feel that i was already awake when it went off but i usually remember a dream, maybe its waking me up immediately and it just feels like I was already awake?

and finally :-/ ... would it be wise to try different entry techniques such as FILD or Michael Radugas indirect techniques alongside 'traditional dield' to see what works best over time when using CANWILD?

Sorry to ask so much, i just feel that this is the direction i want to go in from now on as im able to use CANWILD every night and it seems the most logical. Thanks for all your help

Also the app is an alarm clock app for my iphone called alarmclockbud www.alarmclockbud.com
