It takes a good 2 hours for me to fall asleep, no matter how

Every time I'm about to fall asleep I have to be really still
or I lose it and have to wait twenty minutes to get back
to that again.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

You set your alarm for 4-5 hours into sleep, and then for every 30-60 minutes after that. You might have to tweak the numbers a bit. Basically you're waking up during a dream, which makes it really easy to remember. Keep your journal handy...

Well hey there shadownet and welcome to the forum

Its awesome that your interested in lucid dreaming, to answer your question, i think a good way to improve your recall is to plan to recall your dreams when you awaken in the morning, do this the night before, i find that it helps me dreams seem more clear because i put out the intention. Another way is to tell yourself before bed that you will remember your dreams, it can really work if you believe it to. With dream recall it is good to keep a dream journal and write down any details from the previous night, anything at all may help so its best to write down even the smallest details because things will improve eventually

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Hello, welcome to Dream Views!

As the others have said, intention to remember dreams and the act of writing a dream journal helps a lot with dream recall. You'll find keeping this up for a few weeks you'll be remembering a lot more dream than before.

I can't find a multiple-alarm clock, is there something off the internet for that?

I'm quite sure a lot of mobile phones can do it. The last two I had could.

I'll just set my snooze button to 60 min. thanks

Okay. I sort of had one last night.
Well, a few. I was on a boat, or ship, or something, but everytime
I realized I was dreaming I woke up. = (
I ended up beating my bed with my fist because I wanted to stay in it.
Any tips on this? I felt like I almost had it, but couldn't keep it.

As soon as you become lucid, calm yourself, then concentrate on your body. Convince yourself that it is a dream. Look around, and tell yourself "this is all a dream. Everything here is a dream." Then, always keeping in mind that you're dreaming, do whatever you want to do. There is also the possibility that you became lucid a few seconds before the dream would naturally end, and if it has already begun ending, there's not a whole lot you can do.
But it's still technically a LD, and it means you're getting close

Try the normal WILD TECHINQUE, increase ur dreaming recall abilitie, but if u want to have lucid dreams in less than a week, use a binaural brainwave generator (check http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ead.php?t=1519 )


and put an alarm in ur watch to remember u : ask urself: is this a dream?, then check for some dream signs like readiong something twice, or check if u have 10 fingers... things are chaothic in a deram but u wont notice it unles it is in un memory: if this hapens, it must be adream...

use the brainwave generator with ur ipod, laptop, or ibit, etc


works quite well





have a nice day and night
