101 part 7 Lucid Dream Timer Method
(00:10)
If you have ever tried to do OBE’s or Lucid Dreams in the past and you were left wondering if maybe there was some missing piece or there was some secret missing key and if only you had that missing key then things would be a lot easier. Well here it is. Here is that missing key that I wish that I had, had when I first started doing OBE’s.
Here in Lucidology part 7 we’ll cover the “Timer Method”. This is a very powerful trick that allows you to “cheat” and easily trigger as many OBE’s as you want. I’ve read dozens of books on OBE’s and I’ve tested every single method I could find. There really is no method that gives faster results than this.
In fact it’s possible that you’ll have your very first OBE the very first time you use this.
That doesn’t always happen but quite a few people have written in to tell me that this is the secret that got them over-the-edge to start having frequent OBE’s in just one night. So far we’ve learned how to put the body to sleep as fast as we can and enter a subconscious focus. You start out awake and alert and end up asleep and in a subconscious focus on the lower left (video diagram).
But, what we really want looks more like this. What you want is to “hover” on the awake-asleep threshold so you slip into a subconscious focus without losing too much awareness by slipping in to a deep sleep. This way you retain full awareness in your subconscious.
You may be thinking, “Easier said than done”, because what usually happens when people try to do this is they just fall asleep and that’s the end of it. The solution most books give is to hope that you magically become aware within the dream spontaneously. The idea is by telling yourself over and over while you are awake, to become lucid, that eventually you’ll have lucid dreams just from force of habit alone.
This is possible but it’s very unreliable.
It takes months of practice to get this to work and even when you can do it, it’s always a matter of luck, you never know for sure if you’re going to have an OBE on any given night.
Here’s the secret. What if you could cheat and manufacture your own lucidity trigger so that even if you fell completely asleep you’d still end up having an OBE. It turns out such a secret weapon does exist.
It is called a digital cooking timer.

Hi folks
I will post this and have a break.
101 part 6 Lucid Dream Timer Method
I am back,
What do you want me to google, Ethereal?
To continue:
Here’s the secret. What if you could cheat and manufacture your own lucidity trigger so that even if you fell completely asleep you’d still end up having an OBE. It turns out such a secret weapon does exist.
It is called a digital cooking timer.
(2:33)
The idea is to fall asleep as normal and don’t even try to stay aware. You set the timer to beep so it wakes you up a few minutes later. By falling asleep and waking up every few minutes, without moving, you formed a safety-net so you don’t fall too deeply asleep but instead enter a subconscious focus. This uses a principle from hypnosis called “fractionation”. Hypnotic fractionation means that when you’re put into a trance then are taken from that trance the next time you enter a trance you’ll enter it more deeply than before. That means that if you can enter even the slightest trance then you can enter a very deep trance just by going in and out of that trance over and over.
This is how you can, “hover” on the awake-asleep threshold and ease you way into an OBE without having to use any kind of practice or skill. Remember that everything we covered earlier about the, “Roll” signal still applies. This only works when you use the “timer” and do not move at any point.
If you wake up and fall asleep 4 or 5 times in an hour without moving you’ll start to have spontaneous paralysis, OBE vibrations and OBE’s.
However if you wake-up and then fall asleep twice, shift position, then wake up and fall asleep 3 more times, then that won’t work nearly as well.
So here’s the big picture in a nutshell.
(3:50)
First, you wake-up and fall asleep 4 or 5 times, without moving, using a timer.
{and you should use the sleep commands from Lucidology 101 parts 3 and 4}
This will put you in sleep paralysis.
Then you use movement-free reality checks {which we will cover in part 8} to check that you’ve shifted into a non-physical focus.
Then you use an “exit” method to convert paralysis into an OBE or lucid dream.
{we’ll cover basic “exit” methods in Lucidology 101 part 12} and then {advanced “exit” methods in Lucidology 102}
To do this you have a couple of options for timers, including:
Cooking timers
Timer MP3’s and
The Lucidology Flash timer.
I started out using a $10 cooking timer and it works just fine. To use one of these memorise the buttons so you can re-set it using your thumb without looking at it. Sleep with it in one hand then use only your thumb when re-setting it and the rest of your body will stay in paralysis.
Alternately, in your Lucidology’s Explorers kit you get timer MP3’s that contain pre-defined timer set-ups. To get these visit Lucidology .com. Finally, you can use the Lucidology Flash timer which also comes in your FREE Lucidology dream kit. The flash timer allows you to customise your timer set-up and change your intervals between the beeps however you want.
You timer’s set-up has a giant impact on how many OBEs you have. I have spent countless hours testing various timer set-ups and here is the most reliable workhorse set-up.
It’s called “Ramp” and the intervals are:
8 minutes
4 minutes
8 minutes
12 minutes
16 minutes
20 minutes
20 minutes
6 minutes
6 minutes
6 minutes
(Repeating)
Here is what you can expect when you use the “Ramp” set-up.
During the middle of the 20 minute intervals you’re likely to have lucid dreams and possibly spontaneous OBE’s. During the tail-end 6 minute intervals you’re likely to have OBE’s.
Here’s why.
If you have ever used an alarm clock to wake-up at the same time each morning you may have found that you started waking-up 5 minutes before the alarm actually started beeping. You had conditioned the subconscious to expect the beep but “it” does not like to be shocked awake. So, “it’s” response is to wake you up before the beep.
You can use this effect to your advantage by faking the subconscious out.

How to control your dreams, by edge0125
Hi edge0125
it is 11:11 am here and I am watching your first (10:01) YouTube called:
now it is 3:30 pm, I’ve been at Netzone Internet Café for over 3 wonderful hours doing these 2 posts about your wonderful part 1. I am just reading through these two Word-docs before I post them.
Lucid Dreaming
How to To Control Your Dreams
it is good stuff.
In this post I will copy you informative frames from your part-one clip. In my next post I will transcribe every thing “you” say.
Frame 10
Note:
A lucid dream is a completely natural experience. It is just like any other dream except for the small difference of your knowledge that it is a dream. It has nothing to do with new age, the occult, or escapism, nor can it harm you any more than a regular dream could.
Frame 12
Remembering your dreams is the starting place for learning to have lucid dreams. If you don’t recall your dreams, even if you do have a lucid dream, you won’t remember it!
Frame 13
Dream periods get longer as the night proceeds.
The first dream of the night is the shortest, perhaps 10 minutes in length, while after 8 hours of sleep, dream periods can be 45 minutes to an hour long.
It is during the REM stage that we dream. The longer we sleep the longer the REM stage gets (which means your dreams will be longer)
(3:40)
Frame 14
Is a nice clear graph plotting “sleep stages” (especially REM) against “hours slept” in a 10 hour night.
Frame 15
Dream Journal
Keep a dream journal by your bed and record every dream you have.
Eventually you will be able to recall every dream you have. Your mind will know that you want to remember your dreams.
(5:26)
Frame 25
Is the 2nd nice clear graphs showing 6 different brain waves:
Waking
Stage 1 sleep
Stage 2 sleep
Stage 3 sleep
Stage 4 sleep and
REM sleep
To the left is a graph showing the all 6 stages of … umm … consciousness across 8 hours (from going to sleep and waking, inclusively).
Frame 28
WBTB (Wake Back To Bed) Technique
The concept behind the WBTB technique is that you are utilizing the fact that you wake up in the middle of the REM state.
It is nearly impossible to go from the waking state into a lucid dream when you go to bed first thing at night.
As you sleep, your REM cycles will became longer. This means that your dream will become longer.
The goal in this technique is to wake up in the middle of the REM stage then you can go back to sleep and enter right back into finishing that REM stage (which is when you dream).
Frame 29
The 3rd neat graph of time slept with stages of sleep. Showing how time in REM increases (as the night goes on) from:
5 minutes (at ~90 minute mark)
10minutes (at ~3 hour mark)
15 minutes (at ~4 and half hour mark)
30-60 minutes (at ~between 6 and 7 hour mark)
Frame 30
A 4th graph
In blue and red
Clearly showing how time in REM (dreams) increased the longer you sleep.
Frame 31
WBTB
Step 1:
Set the alarm on your clock or cell phone to wake you up 2 hours before you usually wake up
This is because you will likely still be in the REM stage, which is where your dreams occur.
Step 2:
Get in bed and go to sleep at night as you normally do.
Step 3:
When the alarm wakes you up, turn it off.
(7:22)
Frame 32
WBTB
Step 5
Try to stay awade for a few minutes (Some people prefer to stay a wake for a few seconds, while others prefer half an hour).
At this point you can try one of the Lucid Dreaming induction techniques. (which I will cover later on in this film)
Step 6:
Do a reality check 5 – 10 minutes to check if you are dreaming.
(8:14)
Frame 36
Reality Check
This is a way of determining whether or not you are in a dream state or a waking state.
(9:57)
Frame 48
Reality Checks
Examples of reality checks used by most lucid dreamers

What is a lucid dream? The most basic definition of a lucid dream is being aware you are dreaming while dreaming. Typically this happens when the dreamer experiences something strange and when they stop the question the reality, they realise they are in a dream
(01:12)
In a lucid dream anything you can imagine is possible. Generally lucid dreams are much more vivid than normal dreams. A dream can seem as real as a waking experience. This is what separates a lucid dream from a (?) dream.
(01:37)
People choose to have lucid dreams for many reasons they could be for:
An adventure
Creative inspirations
Problem solving or even for
Stopping nightmares.
Whatever you can imagine, you can do, in a lucid dream.
(04:00)
It can be useful while you are developing your dream recall to keep a dream journal. Keep the journal by your bed and record every dream you remember. Start by writing down all your dreams, not just the complete ones. Even if all you remember is a face (?) write it down.
(04:25)
A major factor that affects dream recall is competition from thoughts competing for your attention. Therefore, let the first thought upon waking be,
“What was I just dreaming?”
Before attempting to write down the dream, go over the dream, first, in your mind, retelling the dream story to yourself.
When you recall a dream scene, try to recall what happened before, what you remember, and before (?).
Remember the dream in reverse.
(5:10)
Another trick that will help with dream recall is, try setting your alarm so that it will go off when you are likely to be dreaming. We dream during the REM stage of sleep. The longer we sleep, the longer the (?), meaning that our dreams become longer as we sleep.
Our REM cycle occur at approximately 90 minute intervals.
You can use this trick by setting your alarm to go off at 4 and a half, six or 7 and a half hours after you go to sleep.
(7:51)
Have you ever noticed that you often dream about a certain situation or place or person? To a lucid dreamer these things are known as “dream signs” and they can be often used to induce lucid dreams more and more.
Normally to be able to recognise your own personal “dream signs” you have to pay close attention to your dream journal.
(8:16)
Reality check is a way of determining whether or not you are in a dream state or waking state. You should perform a reality check any time something is out of the ordinary or seeing on of your “dream signs”.
These things should already put you in a mind set that you might be dreaming, the reality check is just to make sure.
(8:38)
For beginners it is recommended that reality checks are done at a much higher rate. The logic behind this is that if you get used to doing it at random times, in waking-life, it will carry over into your dream-life. Many people have had their first lucid dream this way.
(9:13)
For example:
That most of your dreams take place inside buildings you would do a “reality check” every time you walked into a building or entered a building.
The simplest form of a reality check is just asking yourself:
“Am I Dreaming?” and look at your hands.
It is important to note that you should never do a reality check mindlessly, take a minute to look around you and ask yourself if your surroundings are really logical. Ask your self, how you got there, why you’re there and where are you going. (end of part 1)
