Ever since I got into lucid dreaming my sweet, ever-patient hubby has had to put up with my crazy sleep habits, my incessant reality checking everywhere we go, my spending $250 on a beeping watch and my constant harping on about my nightly adventures! Due to work constraints he doesn't have the time to get into lucid dreaming himself. Anyway, the other night after I'd been on the forum for ages I guess he must've been feeling a bit left out coz he suddenly announced at the dinner table, "I'm gonna try a hypnagogic wake-induced back to sleep tonight."

I guess you had to be there, but it was pretty cute

Oh the things our families put up with eh?

Umm... basically because I'm completely and utterly obsessed with lucid dreaming and the hourly chime reminds me to keep on the lookout for dreamsigns

250 for a watch! Also... lol Wonder if so much talk of LD from you will make him have one <.<

Yeah, it's a pretty cool watch. Funnily enough when I first got into lucid dreaming he did have one himself but it was only 5 secs long and he never had another one. I'm sure he could if he tried but he's too busy.

its the same situation with my gf. She has to put up with my constant alarms going off in the night. Last night she offered to sleep downstairs after my first alarm went off (4:30 am) so I could wild without distraction. The night before that I told her to try not to distract me when the alarm went off because I wanted to DEILD but she ended up punching me in the back when it went off.

Haha, I'd be fed up with alarms all the time too! How about this; take your cell phone and set its alarm so that it only vibrates. Then just slip it in your pillowcase under the pillow, and at night I think it should only wake you up. Even my very cheap, very simple phone has the ability to set three alarms, so I think most any phone will do.

Aww that's so cute!

I'm waiting for the day my brother has that moment. He's the only one in my family who can't LD and he's the one I think would benefit the most!

Good luck to your husband

**deepsleep** · 01-26-2009 07:06 AM

Lol, And if he fails at becoming lucid, You can laugh, xD (well thats what i would do but eh? imma jerk? X]

**DreamQueen** · 01-26-2009 08:48 AM

It's funny how he doesn't quite get the reason for my reality checks either. Like whenever I do one he'll look at me like I'm a looney and say "you're not dreaming" as if he's somehow being helpful. He doesn't realise that what he says is completely meaningless, because if I was dreaming he'd be standing there still saying "you're not dreaming"! Lol.

There are some things only a lucid dreamer understands...
