      It's been ages since I've read this, but you've inspired me once again, Adam to have a go at this and really attempt a more formal technique. I've got some good vibes tonight.

      I'll post with any success.

I ended up falling asleep because i gave up and turned on my side and went to sleep. Do you know what that tilting/flipping feeling was? Also, do you think i was close to a lucid dream?
      That's the onset of Sleep Paralysis. I use these tactile sensations to get lucid. You need to keep going with them until they're pretty stong, and then you need to stop them and realise that you cannot be feeling the strong twists and falling because you're in your bed - this realisation acts as the transition to lucidity.

      edit: wow I just took a look through this thread. That's some wonderful english I had going for myself back in 2007. Goddamn.
      Sounds about right, but different people have different sleep patterns so you need to understand your own sleep pattern.

      no, it did not give me a lucid, but did break my overall vivid-dreaming dry spell. But also, I was sort of sick during the night and didn't even fall to sleep again until around seven, at which point I slept like a log.

      Talking newbie is excited!

      I'm a newbie at this, so I'm psyched to see something that might work for me. So far it's been ages since I had an LD, and that was before I started trying to have them. I'll definitely try this tonight!

      heyi tried it but i had too many distractions when i woke up, also i dont think i set my alarm to the right time. But that night i did have 5 different dreams that i mostly remember. Some of them were so retarded it should have slapped me into a lucid but im not a very frequent reality checker so that was most likely my problem. im going to try again today

      Tried this last night and it was interesting. I went to bed at 11 PM and set my alarm for 5 AM. I woke up at 3:30 though, and had to go to the bathroom. Then I fell back asleep, and woke up from my alarm. I went over to my computer, and came and read this thread over again, and took a look at some of the dream scene pictures. After about 5 minutes, I went to the bathroom again, and then back to bed. I must have fallen asleep though. I woke up and checked my clock, and it was 5:30. I felt awake enough at the end of my waking up, but I guess I really wasn't that awake.

      Hey, Adam, I don't know if you will still be active on this thread, but I thought it would do no harm to ask anyway. Why do you believe it is best not trying anything when going to bed for the first time in the night? And why do you stay awake for such a small amount of time (you said no more than 15 minutes)? Do you have any theories about why these may be helping you?

      Real quick, will I experience sleep paralysis while doing this? Or do I just fall asleep as I normally would?
