Thread: CAT success rate

I can't even find info on this technique at all, what does the c the a and the t stand for? I'm honestly intrigued.

It stands for Cycle Adjustment Technique, and involves fiddling with your sleep cycles. There is a tutorial here on dreamviews: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=66151

After many many months of no success at lucid dreaming, I decided to try the CAT method as of about two days ago. Still in the process of adjusting my sleep cycle, but I will let you all know how it goes!

Thanks, I've been wondering about that myself. I posted in the Attaining Lucidity main forum, and got one positive response, but I'd like to know how it works for others. If it works, I'll definitely try it myself.

I will be giving it a try also. Hopefully we can get some good results and give this method alittle more credibility. It sure sounds easy enough.

If you look around at a lot of CAT thread you see that someone says they'll start it but then they never post back. I remember this one really annoying poster who would keep making excuses for why she didn't wake up in the cycle adjustment week and then she would complain about the technique.

Wow sucks how know one ever posts back. I would give this method a try but I am still perfecting my WBTB.

Guys please start helping out here.

Just posted a reply, but it seems to have disappeared.

Anyway, yes I have been failing miserably at setting up a CAT routine for the last month and a half. It's a lot harder than it sounds, especially for those of us (like me) that have a lot of trouble getting out of bed at a normal-ish time as it is, let alone an hour and a half early.

I've got a lot of excuses, but excuses don't really get you very far in life. So there seems to be a bit of interest in CAT and how it works, but not a whole lot of people doing it; so I'm going to rededicate myself to working on this and seeing how it works out.

The following information is just based on weird sleep pattern I decided to play around with. It all started out when I was going to bed around 0600. I decided to keep trying to stay up a little later until I would start going to sleep at a decent time. Instead of following through with that, I started going to bed around 1500 sleeping for about four hours, and then waking up after four more hours (2300). Depending on how I felt after that, I would try for a WBTB.

Eventually I changed the amount of time I slept before 2300 the time I woke up before that, and sometimes the amount of time I stayed up for. I wish I would have recorded what times i was going to bed and what times I was waking up, all I have to go by is what times I had my last DJ entries...I hope this limited information helps you out.
