Thread: Easy way to achieve a lucid dream?

Sounds like the technique where you set an alarm to ring only for a second or so, then you use that to DEILD. Can't for the love of my life remember what the name of the technique is...

If you wake up, then it's DEILD yeah. But is it possible to don't wake up and still hear your alarm in your dream so you'll realise you're dreaming? Sorta like the Remee lucid dreaming mask.

I think that's pretty tough. We're used to waking up whenever we hear sounds that are trying to wake us up. You probably need some practice or a mantra telling yourself whenever I hear the alarm in the morning, I'll get lucid or something like that. The only time I ever gained lucidity because of the sounds I heard in real life, I wasn't even sure of what I heard exactly.

It's actually quite simple, everytime you listen to the noise in real life you do a reality check, in the dream you will hear it too. Just like how we become used to the sound of our alarm clock, we can recognize it and turn it off before we are even fully awake. Seeing as lucid dreaming masks work quite well I could understand that using audio cues would too, maybe even better because we take in more through the ears than eyes when we are sleeping.

I don't know, I still think it depends on individuals. I haven't try that method yet but I've done all sorts of weird things half-asleep like trying to off my air-con with my alarm clock and slamming the phone down when it rang because it was a habitual reaction for a ringing alarm clock. If the sound doesn't end promptly, it wakes me up instantly. I'm very sensitive to it.
