      DEILD aid idea

      I've been waking up suddenly at exactly 3am every couple nights for a while now, it's annoying, but I usually fall right back to sleep. It happened again last night but this time I noticed a chirping noise come from my laptop which I keep next to my bed. Turns out 3am is when my computer has been installing automatic updates. This gave me an idea...

      Since I haven't been having much luck with my WILDs, I thought, why not try to induce a DEILD (dream exit induced lucid dream) by creating a ringtone for my cell phone and use it as an alarm clock? I'm thinking 30 minutes before I normally wake up would be a good time. This is a very active dream period. Tomorrow I'll create a soothing ringtone that is just me gently strumming an E chord on my guitar a few times as if it were a harp and then maybe saying "relax into a dream". Or maybe the guitar would be sufficient. Before going to bed I will program the phone to go off just once at the appropriate time and remind myself that when I hear the guitar, don't move and don't open my eyes.

      Good idea? Any suggestions for what to say?

      I'll report back after I try it.

      Sounds an interesting - it's the type of experiment I'd like to try and have been thinking of trying with my alarm clock (a towel wrapped round it should reduce the shock value!)

      "when I hear the guitar, don't move and don't open my eyes."

      You may like to rephrase that positively:

      "When I hear the guitar, I will stay still and keep my eyes shut."

      IMO if you use the former you will only visualise yourself moving and opening your eyes.

      Excellent ideia I must say . Most of my DEILDs are inducted that way; I was using a horrible tone to wake but the guitar chord it is pretty cool. I will try to record a Am, C9 or a Gsus4, maybe also put a nice atmospheric synth too and some nature souds.

      My alarm wakes me up too much to try that.
