I've set my alarm to around 4:00 for a few days. The problem is, I wake up, turn it off, go back to sleep, then wake up in the morning with little to no memory of it. If I am conscious when I do it, and try to lucid, then my mind wanders so fast that I'm back into normal sleep. Help? |

Try moving your alarm away from your bed, so you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. That will wake you up enough, and you can stay up for a bit. I have the same problem if I can reach my alarm, sometimes I'll turn it off without even realizing that I've done it and go back to sleep. Then I wake up in the morning and can't remember having turning it off. I used to think my alarm was faulty and turned itself off |

you CAN DEILD after moving, its just a little harder than if you stay still. However, you should probably limit those movements to very small things. I almost always automatically open my eyes and turn over every time I wake up, however I still am able to DEILD. As long as you're quick about whatever you're doing, you should be fine. I certainly don't think you should actually get out of bed though. To be honest I wouldn't even recommend using an alarm. The noise usually startles me awake too much and snaps my concentration of the dream. Just try to remember to DEILD whenever you wake up naturally |

Ohh, sweet. I didn't know that, thanks. |

Despite my alarm being the most horrid, loud sound ever, I barely hear it when I wake up. It's like my ears are in SP. I'll try moving my alarm away. And yes, I can go back into dreams (not lucid, because my mind wanders) after moving when I wake up. It's just the problem of my mind wandering so fast. Completely random thoughts fill my mind without control at random moments. It's like someone else's voice messing up my brain. |
