I've started trying to LD since the first of the year and have wrote in a DJ every day. At first I wasn't remembering any dreams, and then it got to the point where I was remembering 2-3 dreams a night, and could remember most of the plot points. Most of the last few weeks have been from me waking up due to night sweats, so I really haven't even had the chance to sleep the 4 full hours, so when I would wake up to my alarm I usually didn't have enough sleep yet so I fail every night.
During the past 3 days my night sweats have gone away. Last night, I can't really explain it - because I don't remember waking up, but I remember being conscious enough to realize I was dreaming and I was telling myself I needed to remember the dream, and I was just trying to think through the dream so I could remember it for the morning. Next thing I know it is 9AM, which was 7 hours of sleep for me. I check my phone, and the alarm is all the way off, not just on snooze.
Which is very strange because to turn off my phone alarm I have to unlock it and then I'm able to turn it off. The thing is, I have no recollection of ever waking up to turn it off, and when I woke up in the morning I couldn't remember any dreams except I did remember that I had a dream and kept reminding myself to remember it.
So I am very confused about what happened - did I wake up for such a short time and then fell into a lucid dream when my alarm went off, and the lucid dream was just me telling myself I needed to remember the dream? Why can't I remember waking up to my alarm? Any good ways to wake up 4 hours after sleeping without an alarm?
Just looking for answers to questions like that. Thanks in advance. :)
