Thread: Awakening Awareness Game/Technique

wow this is actually pretty nice!! ima do this and see how it works, thanks! it makes it very consistent and because you want to catch a false awakening and write an o, your subconscious is working more with lucid dreaming. This is great, it might work well.

Good idea, that's a nice simple way to track progress and make RCing a habit for FAs.
Will you be posting your updates here?

I like this! Maybe there should be an element of timing to it, to encourage catching more end-of-sleep-cycle wakings (something I want to get back to).

Shortly after I posted this I tried it. I wasn't encouraged by the results in terms of lucidity; my false awakenings seemed to disappear. Ashamed I posted a dud of a technique, I hoped this thread would get buried and forgotten.

It did help in me catching awakenings though! Maybe I didn't try it for long enough.

I had 4 false awakenings this morning but only caught 2, so I definitely want to create a technique that revolves around consistently having and catching false awakenings. The problem though is, the harder I try to catch false awakenings, the less I have them! Maybe it's not possible to create a technique that revolves around consistently having and catching false awakenings.

I'm not a fan of alarm clocks but you could use one if you wish. This technique is flexible.

I have noticed, at least for myself, that when I purposefully fall asleep searching for a particular dream sign, the dream sign always disappears from my dreams. Not sure if anyone else has encountered this phenomenon. It began with my search for Fris (as I used to always eat in dreams, and sometimes still do). Once I began searching for "eating," food stopped appearing in my dreams. This has repeated for numerous things, such as people, places, and so on.

So maybe the technique wasn't a dud, dolphin--maybe it just needs to be tweaked. I wonder if you could prime yourself to search for false awakenings, and then somehow "forget" about false awakenings, to allow them to repopulate your dreams? Not sure. I'll let you experiment

I don't usually purposefully fall asleep searching for a dream sign. Even though I have this recurring dreamsign of a girl from my past, I never try to dream about her, it just happens. I do think about her pretty much every day, so I guess that's the reason I'm dreaming about her, but I never actually set myself to it. I'm trying to find her in my lucid dreams, to ask her about her appearance and if she means something, but she doesn't want to be found once I'm lucid.
[..skipping to the point..]
The point is that maybe you will have more FAs if you just think about them during the day, instead of going to sleep with the intention of having them.
During the day, imagine yourself waking up and doing a successful RC
