    AUDIO-INDUCED LUCID DREAM EXPERIMENT ENTRY #3

    Day #4 (NO LUCID):
    ~Right idea, wrong time. I set up an MP3 (that simply told me to do reality checks) to go off at 4:50am. Headphones were wired to both sides of my bed to preserve the stereo effect and volume was tested before going to sleep to make sure it was easily audible, but not disruptive to sleep.

    I ended up waking up naturally around 4:45, so of course I wasn't asleep when the MP3 began to play, which ruined that. So I got up and reset the alarm to start playing the MP3 again at 5:50. However, in that hour, I fell asleep and woke back up...just in time to hear the audio start playing again.

    By then it was too late to really try again, since I was going to have to get up early anyway. I really like the idea...I just need to find out how to catch myself when I'm asleep!

      Are you using a type of hypnosis technique or does it just tell you to do a RC? I have a hypnosis cd, but last night after the beach sound track the beeps woke me up

      That is a good idea, might have to try it.

      No hypnosis; I'm just using the MP3 found here. I think it will work for me because it tells me to reality check, and because I really strongly associate it with lucid dreaming. Alarms I associate with waking up, which is why they failed to simply make me think to RC. This, however, should work out entirely differently, since all I associate it with is reality checks and lucid dreams, nothing else.

      If anyone wants to give this a shot, I'm just using said MP3 and Cool Timer to start something playing that will remind me to reality check while I'm still asleep. Good luck, and I'd be interested to hear your results
