How to emulate sleep to practice lucid dreaming technique?

[luffy28]

Hi, I've been using an mp3 file from a site called obe4u. The mp3 file is mean't to awaken the person during sleep so they could do the technique. I forgot to do the cycling technique more than one time after doing "separation". Also when I did do the cycling technique I ended up getting a feeling of being stuck and nothing happened. Is there a way to emulate sleep so I can practice the technique during the day? This is the technique Thanks.

so i actually did the Phase technique without any alarms, but now I am incorporating alarms. I dont really agree with the cycling methods. I do a simple visualization while inducing the feeling of falling. You should easily feel or see the hypnagogic hallucinations if you are in the right mindset. You will immediately understand that you are about to transition because the hallucinations are insane. Theres no real way to emulate sleep, but you could try during daytime naps.

And there are Youtube videos, etc., on the topic. Haven't ever been able to do it myself, though I've never tried very hard. Another way might involve certain forms of meditation.
