Thread: Has anyone tried this method?

Dalí did this for days at a time, only I think he held rocks which would clatter into pans below... He ended up inducing waking hallucinations, heh.

I wouldn't recommend you go to his extreme, as that'll have detrimental effects to your health (irritability, lethargy, inability to concentrate).

I've also heard this done with snooze buttons.

Prior to reading this, there was one occasion where I was extremely tired and didn't want to fall asleep; so lying upright in my bed, I balanced a bottle of water on my head so that it would wake me back up if it fell. It worked - scaring the shit out of me in the process aha.

I'm very interested in trying this method, has anyone tried this previously?

What you did is to be so aware of the bottle that it maintained your conciousness I used this similar way with leaving a dim light on and watched the dream hover from the light on the table to the area of the window..happened twice in a row but for me that was very exahusting because it leaves the sleeper unable to fall into prper sleep.
