Thread: Alarm Clock is working veeeeery fine with me

Ah... Alarm Clocks... They just kill my recall and I HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!

Lol... I prefer natural waking

Wait wait wait... I didn't get when is your normal waking time. You set you alarm for 07:00, but how long is it before waking?

I usually do this... normally I should wake up at 08:00, but my 1st alarm is set for 07:00. I never get out of bed, just turn that sh*t off and sleep again. At that 1 hour I got best (longest, most vivid) dreams during my sleep, I probably would remember any dream, except of this one.

Yeaaah, I nearly always wake up before they go off, by a few minutes! The reason they kill your recall might be because when you naturally wake up, its usually right after a dream period, rather than in SWS, quite a while since the last dream period, being unable to remember them! Most of my LDs tend to fall in the early hours, after waking up and going back to sleep! :3

Heh, same here. For the past several days I've put the alarm to 4:00, and though I usually sleep through the night without problem, each of those times I've woken up slightly earlier than the time appointed.

I usually wake up late, at 8:30 or 9:00. I set my alarm for 7:00 and I wake up earlier (5:30, 6:00). I always wake up before the time appointed . It's psychology, I don't use the alarm to wake up, I use it to remember myself that I must wake up early, so I end up "waking up" in my dream. When I do that, it becomes easy to get a Lucid.

lol, I usually go to bed somewhere near 23:00 - 01:00, and wake up at 6:00
So I don't prefer the alarm clock technique

Odd, set my alarm clock to do a simple WBTB last night and I woke up like exactly 5 minutes before it went off. Now that I think about this - I do it a lot. If I set my alarm 75% of the time I will wake up a few minutes before it goes off. Must be a good self-suggestion method? And I had a lucid dream last night to my 5th one. Lasted only a few seconds and got distracted.

Lol this morning I finally got some good results from my alarm clock. I woke up at 6:00AM and went back to sleep for about ten minutes which brought a very vivid dream. I'll try this the next time I'm obliged to use my alarm clock! 8)

I didn't wake up by my alarm the last few days, except last night, at which I ''unconsciously'' did a WBTB (because I wanted to sleep again lol).

Result? a 1 hour long lucid dream which took 5 minutes real-time.

I envy you...if I could do that imagine the experiences which you could have in 45 minutes(real-time) of lucid dreaming... anyway I'm doing WBTB again tonight to try a WILD. I'll be happy to succed this WILD as it would end my dry spell
