Hi DoubleHelix - you said you'd have the clock by mid oct - so not long! You could do some prep in the meantime if you wanted to start early - if you use a phone with a vib function I would probably change this to maybe a short audio tone to alert you of messages/calls etc, because its possible the vibe might get incorporated as a phone vibe if you are already used to this.
The alternative to this if this isn't possible (or desirable) is that you just do a R/C when the phone vibrates as well - that way you're doing more random checks anyway. I had one or two dreams where the vibe came through as though I had my phone in my pocket, so I switched the phone to a tone and then it came through after that just as the clock which made it easier to get lucid.

The clock comes with a clip you can clip to your watch if you want to use it as an alarm to wake yourself up with (say to do a wbtb). To do the actually bit where you are trying to get lucid though I would recommend placing it on your ankle. There are few things in the real world that vibrate your ankle like the clock will, and by associating the ankle vibe with the clock going off it maximises the chance of the vibe being directly incorporated into the dream and spotted by yourself. Verre put her clock in a pillow between her legs whilst sleeping which seemed like a clever way to use it - mediating some of the vibe strength (which initially will seem very strong) - I hadn't thought of that and its sounds like a good option.

the tech I use and you could ready for is pretty simple. I take a pair of old cotton socks (like business socks) and cut the toe bit off so the sock is just a hollow tube with both ends open. I fold the sock in half into iself so theres a space between the sides (like a U) and slip the clock into this and pull the sock on to my ankle. Its very comfy to wear like this under my normal sock at work for daytime practice (without it the plastic gets a bit hot) and at night I put one on my wrist for the wbtb then transfer it to one on my ankle without moving much and disturbing my wife.

Anyway - just a thought! you might come up with a different way of using it which would be better! I would recommend a couple of days of daytime practice setting it to go off every 50mins or so for a few hours during the day at a 5 sec duration on setting 2 strenght and doing a reality check everytime it goes off. That way when it goes off in a dream - no matter how busy the dream is, or how involved you are in the dream story - you'll be trained to do a RC and become lucid!

let me know if you need any more help! By the way I've been continuing the tech as discussed above (I know you might not be doing it that way intially) but still having good success, beyond what I reported above, I've since had another 3 lucids in the last 5 days, 1 WILD 5 days ago, 2 DILD's this morning using the same tech (interrupted sleep with audio/autosuggestion) (but with technical probs - my audio speakers stopped working for 2 nights!). Anyway - have a good weekend to everyone (nice to hear you are interested in this starletdreamer) and good luck DoubleHelix - and thanks FryingMan for the post on the oneirics - hope it gets funded as well. cheers - T
