      Best external stimulus for sensing inside dream?

      What, if anything, works best for you to hear, see, or feel inside a dream? Such as an alarm that lasts a few seconds - just a ringing sound, or music, and for how long? Or does flashing lights or something like a vibrating cell phone work well?

      So far I've tried a few combos of buzzing and slow bell sounds that last 2-10 seconds, every 20-30 minutes, but they only seem to succeed in keeping me from getting deep sleep. I never hear them in my dreams, in fact dream vividness seems to be harmed because I don't sleep as good. Where have I gone wrong?

      I would say try a different method. Don't rely on any external stuff. From what I read here, they don't seem to have a great success record.

      I've always thought perhaps the best thing is something that starts out subtle and imperceptible and gets stronger until you can't miss it.
      My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.

      If anything would work it would be your ears. The last thing to fall asleep. You still have to train to notice it though.

      Maybe you would become lucid before you wake up. It might be a short LD, but I'd take that over no lucid dream at all.

      Personally everything I've tried usually just ends up waking me up. Though if you set the stimuli to begin after 4-5 hours you can usually use the opportunity to try WBTB.

      I have had some success streaming the vocal trance channel at DI.FM during sleep: Digitally Imported - addictive electronic music.

      I cut a couple of tracks for just this purpose with exactly that in mind: In Search of Lucidity.
