I never do RCs, they've never helped. Although I get tons of lucids. Well, you do it while your falling asleep.
Yay, I hate RCs, so I'll give this a go.
After I got more used to hearing the sound my mind also was more alert to that particular buzz.
good luck
Personally speaking, and I should by no means be considered an expert, I do it the other way round. I focus on stuff that pops up in my dreams a lot, and visualise myself becoming lucid when they happen (or checking for lucidity).Quote:

What do you mean? I just go from awake, to asleep. Then I'm in a dream.
This doesn't always work. It usually works for midday naps and in the morning.
sounds great. the logic behind what your saying, i think, is very sound. Im going 2 try this tonight and ill post back ;)
I woke up five minutes before my alarm clock was to go off this morning. I was very relaxed and soon found myself dipping half-into mental imagery of my geography teacher. :P I'm guessing it was the start of a dream (REM fragments?) but I wasn't exactly conscious and my alarm clock woke me out of it, anyways.
It's a good idea; I personally just don't find myself conscious during these times though.
Went for another WILD nap. Had 6 lucids. I don't think I even need to use this technique anymore. I automatically hear the noises now.
I wish you guys luck.
Concerning the noises, I'd done 5 WILDs though I usually use MILD, I heard 5 different noises, from too noisy that my head gonna explode, to the smooth peaceful noise mixed with soft singing voice . In all ways it ends up with a fine vivid, not lucid .
How does that noise not make you aware? It always makes me aware so once I transition I KNOW I'm in a dream.
It happens before I get into the dream, always fail because I can't keep up with that sound . The most achievement was when I felt my self floating round the room .
What do you mean when you say you "can't keep up" with it?
I heard that you must keep up with the noise ( Just keep listening to it ) for a while until you get into the dream, but what happens is that the sound goes into a certain level and then goes back until its leashed and I wake up .
What? I don't try to keep listening. It goes away for me after it comes. Then suddenly complete darkness and silence with no feeling in my body. Then I wake up in a dream.
aha, I think I did it once, but when I wanted to stand from the bed, I was paralyzed . I think I was dreaming because the room was blue somehow .
Will keep that in mind next time :)
For me, I don't think this would work, I'm not sure. When I'm falling asleep I sorta loose myself. If I try to listen for any sounds, feeling etc, then I just stay awake. Also, Would this work in the middle of the night, say... 4 hours after sleep?
This works best for me if I do it about 1 hour after I've slept as long as I want. (8-9 hours)
Also I don't listen for the noise. You just have to be in a REALLY quiet room so your mind doesn't ignore the HS when it comes.
Wait I'm kinda confused
Ok so when I fall asleep and my thoughts just go randomly
(this happens to me frequently, trying to get to sleep and my mind shoots in every direction, usually I forget what I was just thinking because it was so random) so when his happens, what so I do? Let it go but keep my mind awake?
I think what your supposed to do is catch yourself thinking these random thoughts. When you "catch" yourself thinking these random thoughts, they stop, correct? When you do this, it wakes you up and returns you to a normal mind set. Once you catch yourself doing this, just let yourself drift off again and then once your thinking these thoughts again, become aware of it, they will stop, then you will be more awake. After doing this twice, just let yourself drift off like you normally would. This is a form of WILDing so I would reccomend doing a WBTB WILD (3-8 hours of sleep.)Quote:

Am I correct? do I need to do mantra's or think much about the WILD or lucid dreaming?Quote:

when it's finally time to really go to sleep, do I not move so I enter sleep paralysis?
