Rythmic napping

[Xm3buX]

I was thinking of trying the rythmic napping technique, but I don't have a computer in my room so I can't use the SaltCube timer. Can anyone tell me the different time intervals so I can set my phone alarm to go off at the right times? Thanks.

Please someone reply

Never heard of the technique.

Is this what you are talking about? http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=65376 The experiment has been cancelled, but I think it is the same technique.

Ok, let me ask it again in a way that people who don't know it by that name might recognise it. I want to try the tecnique where I'm woken up after a few hours sleep by an alarm, then I go back to sleep, the alarm goes off again 15 minutes later etc with smaller time differences so eventually I'm sleeping, but close to consiousness. I don't have a computer in my room, so the alarm on SaltCube.com wont help me, so I'd appreciate it if someone who uses or has ever used the Rythmic Napping/progressivly lighter sleeping (I just made that up) tecnique could tell me the time differences so that I could set my phone alarm to go off at the right times. Hopefully someone will recognise it now that I've described it a bit :bravo: EDIT: YES! That's the one I'm talking about, thanks, it had the answers I need

I get ya. The above numbers would work well but ultimately it's not necessary. Simply; 1. Set your alarm for any time between 2 and 5 am, give yourself the hypnotic suggestion that the sound of your alarm will bring you easily into waking consciousness with full recall of all dream activity beforehand. Also include the suggestion that each time you do this process it will become easier, more effective and quicker to achieve the necessary states of awareness required for this kind of 'dreamwork'. 2. Get up and record your dreams as fully as possible, allowing your mind to waken naturally as the task of writing and memory start kickin' in. 3. Return to relaxed position and picture one scene from the dreams you had that best 'describes' them. As you picture this scene with a one-pointed focus allow the slowing of your heart beat and breath to naturally lull your body back to sleep, maintaining the vision of your dream all the while. 4. As sleep paralysis comes on your image may destabilise and you'll probably find yourself thinking/travelling a hundred other images and memory-based tangents... either go with these for a less-conscious but still integrated experience of the ensuing dreams or return gently to your image, your breath and your heart beat. 5. If you manage to stay still (without it being unduly uncomfortable either), stay calm, maintain your shit, sleep paralysis will decend it's heavy weight upon your physical vehicle, which leaves 'you' to work out for yourself how it is that you best progress from this stage... Practise makes perfect. Note and experiement on what time is best to set your alarm at. I use 3:23am with a 23 minute snooze to check on my progress. Works a treat. Peace bruz, Daen.
