Thread: Forced Brief Awakening (FBA) Induction Technique - Early Testing

Attempt (long sleep, uninterrupted): full lucid

Sleep graph:

Dream entry:

Spoiler for *:

=flying around
=family came in police car, looking for me
=we drive a long way
=false awakening
I begin wake-up attempts for real.
=real wakeup

Note that I count false-awakenings (which are known as such) to be full lucids, since they trigger good self-awareness and understanding of the dream state, and open the opportunity (if desired) of getting up out of bed and beginning a lucid adventure right there. I'm usually too nervous to do so, since I'm kind of a scaredy cat in unplanned false-awakenings, but the state-recognition and potential is still there, thus my categorizing them as full lucids (most of the time, anyway).

There was obviously more to the dream than what's recorded, but this is 4 hours later, and after two other sleep sessions (without the app on, because I keep falling asleep while intending to record things!). I could bring back more memories even now, but am too lazy. Oh, well other than that I again heard the voice prompts multiple times throughout the dream. (but not in the ones later without the app on, so they do seem to be actual pass-through rather than just imagining/reproducing it)

Also, I believe they did wake me up at one point, although I'm not sure where.

Anyway, raising the volume to 90% now! If it goes past 100%, I'll have to start boosting the volume in an audio editor (I'm using a bluetooth earbud now, so have full freedom on volume) -- and/or switching to dream integration rather than wake-up + deild as the main lucidity trigger.

But sorry again for the low-quality recordings. It does get harder doing it in detail when you do it every day. : P

Success rate:
Long sleep: 7/8(+1 interrupted) (2 weak, 5 full)
Post-sleep nap: 2/2 (0 weak, 2 full)
Isolated nap: 1/2 (0 weak, 1 full)

EDIT: Oh, I was wondering why I raised it from 70% straight to 90%, and realize the reason is that I also had a weak lucid this morning which I never ended up recording. Unfortunately, I don't actually remember the dream now, so I don't think I'll count it.
