LOL I will be so rattled if this happens.

I did, but for the past days I have been unconsciously turning off my alarm :(. It's like, my subconscious knows exactly where my phone is, and where the end button is, so I just turn it off without even waking up. But I do wake up if I put my phone inside a glove, or sock.
I just have to be more dedicated and actually get out of bed.
Keep at it guys, I'm rooting for you. :)
AndresLD: I've tried putting my cellphone under the bed, so I had to physically get up and hunt around for it under there. XD
I also have three alarm options, so if I ignore the first one, the second or third will get me. If I want to ignore them all, I actually have to go in and disable them.
I've also done this: locked my cellphone in something and put the key somewhere in the room, so I have no choice but to get up.
Good luck! :zzz:
Day 16:
I failed. Right when i was going to try WILD, my dad started getting ready for work in the bathroom right across from my room; so i had too much distraction. Luckily, that doesn't happen too often, so i'll just have to give it another shot tonight.
Day 17:
The sock method seems to work pretty well for waking me up :P. But I was too lazy to get out of bed, so fell asleep.
Tomorrow morning: GET THE F#CK OUT OF BED, YOU F@CKING LAZY F*CK
Day 18
My internal clock woke me up at 4:57 (had set the alarm at 5:00). I got out of bed (FINALLY). Stayed up for 10 minutes, went back to bed, but fell asleep right away :S. I have to wake myself up more next time.
Tomorrow morning: Wake up at 5:00, go to the washroom, pee, have a sip of water, go to my room, do 30 push ups, 30 sit ups, go back to bed.
Wow, if i did that; i'd never go back to sleep. I have the complete opposite problem. When i try WILD, i have a really hard time going back to sleep.
Day 17:
Failed again. Tried WILD for a long time, but couldn't go back to sleep. After i gave up, i fell asleep. I still haven't found an alarm with an auto-shutoff feature, but i'm going to find one for my itouch right now. Then that way i can try CANWILD tonight.
EDIT: I found an alarm in the app store. It's called Auto-Shutoff Alarm Clock and it's only 99 cents. It only has 5 reviews and a 1 and a half star rating. I don't know why it has such a low rating, because it does exactly what it says it's supposed to. I guess it would be nice to be able to change the alarm sound and the auto-shutoff can only be set to 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 seconds. Also, you can't put it in sleep mode or the alarm won't go off. So you have to leave it plugged up or it could drain the battery too much. Although it doesn't have as many bells and whistles as i would like, it still serves it's purpose. If anybody finds a better alarm app that cuts itself off, please let me know. Anyway, now i have an alarm to use for the CANWILD tonight, so wish me luck!
Day 17 & 18:
Failure.
What i'm starting to notice is that every time i lay on my left side, i fall asleep almost instantly. and when i lay on my back or right side, it takes longer to fall asleep, and sometimes i just stay awake
So in the next few days i'm going to try a few things; Trial and error.
Also recently i decided that i have to stay up for at least 5 min before attempting to WILD.
Day 6, 7 and 8: Failure, my alarm didnt wake me up in three consecutive nights!! :shock:
Put the alarm next to my pillow.
Day 9: My first LUCID DREAM:banana:
Before I went to bed i said the following mantra "Im going to do reality checks in dreams tonight" until I fell asleep. I dunno if it really helped me in having my first lucid dream, but i guess it had something to do. It was a DILD, and what happened was: I had a false awakening in my bed and i pinched my nose to check if i was dreaming or not. Indeed I was dreaming because I could breath while pinching my nose (It is a weird sensation:cheeky:). I got so excited that the dream started becoming blurry, and the light was fading. I started spinning and thinking of another place. I thought about Pandora, and suddenly I saw a small blue planet far way from me. I started getting closer to it, but I lost control of the dream.
Any suggestions on how to control dreams better??
Then my alarm went off, and I tried to WILD, but i couldnt concentrate enough because my brother was awake and he was doing a lot of noise.
Count me in! This'll be good to keep me motivated.
Day 1:
No LD :( I didn't even get a chance to sleep well.
My neighbors threw a party and the loud music kept waking me up. I was about ready to file a noise complaint. Really messed up my daily routine-- ended up waking up at 1 PM.
Day 18:
I didn't get a chance to try WILD last night; too busy dealing with life's troubles. Maybe tonight i'll do it.
Day 19:
I failed to wild.
But i had a DILD, which was awesome. :banana:
My dream recall was also very vivid.
Day 10
i tried to Wild for about 40 min, and then i gave up.
Good job man, lucid dreams are always awesome.
Day 18: No progress
I've been so lazy lately, I've lost my dream recall, and how I would be able to wake up after (or before, idk) REM Sleep...I'm back now to a month ago when I was on a dry spell for like a year.
Today I had a chance to remember my dream but I went back to sleep. Going to do whatever I can to write down tomorrow's dream (Even though I have school)
Morning of Day 2:
I woke up in the middle of a dream, after getting about 4 and a half hours of sleep. I had trouble falling asleep so it took longer than I thought.
Is this not good? Shouldn't I have woken up right after a dream/before another dream?
I tried to count my breaths and relax, and I think I started trying too hard. I did relax quite a bit though, which made me happy :).
Day 20:
Didn't have time to WILD.
Day 20:
Failed to wild
