Thread: Alternatives for waking up during REM sleep?

Before you go to sleep say something out loud to yourself such as...."I will wake up after every dream" or something along those longs. Subconsciously your body will remember this even when you are sleeping and you will hopefully do what you have said before you fell asleep. Always has worked for me, goodluck.

Thanks, I shall give this one a go.

I agree with P1nhead, that the best way is to learn to wake up naturally. Set your intention to wake up after every dream. Your body naturally has a breif awakening after any REM cycle anyways. All you have to do is get in the habit of noticing it and taking advantage of it.

I'll put my vote along side autosuggestion with everyone else. It really does work.

i just tried autosuggestion. ive been trying this for longer to get a DILD or somthin, but it NEVER worked... but now i told myself "i will notice the end of my dream and wake up..." and damn it WOOORKED ^^. i have woken up 5 times or even more that night/morning and i recalled 3 dreams . i usually just recall ONE or even just little pieces of that one dream... soooo autosuggestion REALLY works. i was always sceptical, but kept trying and now the whole work worked out for me ^^

That is so good! It is sometimes freaky how well it works!

I hope you can use it for other LD goals as well now that you got it to work!

yep! (and kinda thanks ^^) im now trying to do autosuggestion by repeating "im just dreaming." but it doesnt work so far ^^, but i wont give up...

I repeat, "The next thing I see, will be a dream. The next thing I feel will be a dream. The next person I meet will be a dream character. The next..."

And I just go down the list until I'm asleep. It seems to work surprisingly well. The one thing I have noticed, is that when I do my lucid mantra, my recall is not as great. When I do my recall mantra, I remember a lot more dreams. Therefore, I have to alternate. I do one mantra one day, the other the next. I can't seem to do both at the same time.
