Thread: blasted alarm clock!

I have learned to kind of "split the mind" or somthing, and not ignore the sounds, hearing them, but not listeing.. When at the same time, focusing on recalling key parts of the dreams. Thus not forget all of it at least..

Then again, I only really remember the dreams fully, if I get to wake up.. As opposed to being awoken.

I seriously need to learn that trick! I have a 16 1/2 year old going blind small dog that will decide to bark anywhere from 4:30 am until I have to get up at 5:45 am.

I swear, it's like she BARKS the dream right out of my head!

before whan i had my dream recall...i was just repeating "ill remember my dreams" and it's strange but i was waking up after every dream (well..almost) like 4 dreams sometimes 5 per night...damn i really need to get that back but last night i used my cell...and it worked for me. i've put it on vibrations

that actually gives me a good idea for tonight

i'll set my cell phone to alarm for the same time as normal, but i'll turn that on vibrate, and set my normal alarm clock to the 7AM. that way, even if the vibration doesn't wake me up at 5:30, i'm sure a combination of vibration and noise at 7 with do the trick.

besides, i can use this in conjunction with some technique i read about, where when you wake up, you stay completely still and don't open your eyes, but stay conscious enough, and i guess it's way easier to WILD that way. (without going back to the forums to check, i believe it was adam's technique.) i'm sure the vibration will wake me up ever so slightly, so i won't be abruptly awoken and wide awake for a few minutes. i'll just be gently awoken, and able to do that method (hopefully )

if this doesn't work... hell, it's just one night, right?
