So, I'll post my "theory" here. Maybe this isn't new at all and I've simply never heard about it.


First, some background info that lead me to think about this:
Even though I firstly read about lucid dreaming a long time ago, I only started trying it seriously almost two weeks ago.

I've been doing RC everyday and the stuff. I've had one lucid dream so far. And how did it happen? Well, I had woken up from another dream. Took my cell and wrote down some stuff about the dream and then, went back to sleep trying to induce a dream by mantras.

Later on, I realized that maybe this is how WBTB + WILD works?

What I mean: instead of setting an alarm in order to wake up after a rem cycle, you use mantras. As you fall asleep, you repeat to yourself: "tonight I'll wake up after every dream I have and I'll remember to write it down". That's what I've been doing so far, and it's turned out just fine (not all the times though).
And the thing is, when you wake up from a dream, you write it down, maybe drink some water and, then, try to fall asleep again, but staying conscious and repeating to yourself that you'll "enter" into a dream and already be lucid, or immediately do a RC, or something like that.
So you basically replace the alarm with mantras, and wake up naturally.


Again, maybe this isn't a new thing. I'm just asking about it cause when I read about WBTB I always see that people use alarms. And the thing is, I gave it a try the last two days, and couldn't sleep because of feeling anxious about falling asleep quickly (since I wanted to sleep the correct amount of hours).



Thank you!
