The DC Alarm Clock and why I wasn't late

[clockworkoranges16]

Ok, so this one was weird, and I wonder if anyone has had a similar expierience. Allright, I was lucid and wandering and flying around when a came across some girl DC. She asked me if I knew what time it was in reality. I had a false eye opening and told her my clock said it was 6:09 AM, which is about when I expect to be having my "main" dream of the night, as I call it. She told me I was wrong, and to open my actual eyes and look at the clock. I woke up and it was 9:16 AM. I then had to rouse myself and get ready for work at ten. I would have been late if it wasn't for her. Now I wonder if someone could be good enough at MILDs or incubation to set a "DC alarm clock," because really our bodies usually know about what time it is in real life. This way you could be a little more flexible in your morning dreams without having to worry about alarm clocks interrupting you, but be able to get in those "five more minutes" without risking oversleeping an hour because you got lost in a dream. Just a thought.

In theory it sounds do-able. Just one of those less-attempted things that are ascribed to 'advanced'. Since everyone is individual, I say try it and let us know You can either try it by asking your DC's to do this, or perhaps by self hypnosis.

This actually happens to me often, even if it’s not a Lucid Dream. I will be having a dream and some dream character will tell me to get up or I will be late, so I wake myself up. I know its very low lucidity, but it’s just enough so I can wake up on time. That being said, I have a very good since of time in real life. If you ask me the time at any point during the day, I usually get within 5-15 minuets of it. So I guess I just have a good internal clock

I often get times when I wake up exactly 1 minute before my alarm goes off. I can't do this when I can't see my alarm clock from my bed, though. My sense of time is also way off if I can't see the alarm clock during the night, even when I don't wake up during the night to see it. So I think I somehow look at my alarm clock while asleep...
