Okay this sin't a technique yet, but it is a good concept that may be furtherly develpopped and become successfull. An idea for which I was inspired by Rooj in my ''I'm just lying here'' Topic in this Board.

Okay what I came to Realise is that there are Sounds we sometimes hear while asleep that DON't actually wake us up all the way, but it DOES make us aware...if only for a split second. I imagine how this can be used to become and stay lucid as you fall back asleep.
The Sounds I mean are sounds you recognise. A sound like the phone ringing will be heard and recogised by you when you are asleep in the lighter stages of sleep: about the last 1 and a half hour before waking up.

However when you hear the phone ring, or the doorbell, or any other recognisable sound You'll awaken mentallly while staying asleep. I've experienced this: I would hear the phone ring while sleeping in the early morning: My mom would allready be awake and I am always slightly aware of that while sleeping too: I hear her making noise in her room and downstairs. When the phone rings and I'm still dreaming I will hear it, Recognise it and realise I wont have to answer it cuz my Mom will answer it: this way I awaken Slightly but not Completely, and quickly drift back to deeper sleep. It wakes me up a little cuz I recognise the sound and know it is no Reason to wake up and get out of bed.

Interresting to wake up half way, just enough to become aware, but not too much so you can easily stay ''under'' and fall back asleep into a Dream.


These are some of the Sounds that Catch my attention while I'm sleeping lightly, while they don't wake me up abruptly:

- The phone ringing when my mom's around to pick it up: When I'm alone in the house eventually it'll gradually wake me up anywayz.
- The doorbell ringing when my mom is around to open the door
- My mom's friends visiting and talking loudly downstairs: I sleep on the 2nd floor.
- My mom waking up early and making noise: washing dishes, making breakfast downstairs..etc
- My cats fighting or playing wildly around the house: making alot of noise on the stairs when they run.

Maybe you people can think of some more sounds like these hat awaken you slightly, but don't stress you out of sleep and out of bed.
