Yea, I just read through almost the entire thread and saw that you had tried to fix it but got shut out by the system. I ended up cutting and pasting your tutorial into Word and then reading it that way. Good stuff man!

Hey all,
I found this thread a week ago, and put it on my TO-READ list. I tried this method last night. I have not had a lucid dream, however this got me VERY close. When I woke up with the alarm, the sound was very natural, and it did not cause me to jolt awake, which would make me open my eyes. I did everything as listed, however I could not project myself into the dream. I thought of a scene and it didn't work.. Anyways, its a great method and I won't stop trying.
Thanks!

So just checking back here for the first time in a while.
Has anyone got an MP3 that works well for this (like a noise every hour or something)?I've got a regular iPod, not an iPhone and don't want to leave my computer on overnight.
I found an old digital watch that I can set to alarm. It beeps 10 times then quits (not very loud). Should that work?
I tried something similar, but you really gotta put the watch close to your pillow or something because I found it difficult to hear the beeps when in deep sleep.Quote:

Was only 10 seconds long and barely could see anything but this is how it happened without the whole alarm thing. I think it was a brief awakening that happen and I just happen to catch it at the right time. Gonna give this a go. Wish me luck ;D
I'm definitely going to use this method... I'm going to try to WILD almost nightly when summer rolls around. :)
Going to try out this method.
I have these big sennheiser headphones, so I'm just going to have my headphones laying next to me and have my ipod set to a high volume for when the alarm plays.
Is this alarm alright? Tomorrow I'm gonna look through some songs to find one I might want to use.

Also, what should I do to keep my mind conscious once the alarm goes off?
If you have a cell phone with motion detection (most touch screen phones) when you flip it upside down the alarm will go off. If you put your phone on vibrate only and place it half way off a ledge when it vibrates it will move it's self off the side and flip.. Turning off the alarm. Lol it works for me... You will need to turn the motion detection on in the settings menu. Hope this helps someone in need of a custom alarm ^^
I tried this last night...
I think I got into sleep paralysis because I got twitchy all over and then started to feel very, very heavy...but that's it. Will try again tonight.
To anyone who needs a method of setting an alarm, this is what I did:
1. Found out my phone's email address: http://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm
2. Went to http://www.latergator.ca/index.php to send myself a delayed text message for 5 am
3. Turned off the 'reminder' beep on my phone to make sure the text message noise only went off once and wouldn't disturb me later on
4. Voila!
12,24 alarm clock can auto shut off. Just set snooze to OFF and then set auto-snooze to your desired time! =D
Psst. Give me credit?
Auto snooze has a minimum of 5 secs.
But, its not freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Im still looking for a free one,
JB ipods are FTW.
How do i install this to my IPOD TOUCH?
Hello?
Most modern cell phones have a variety of short, single alarm tones that last a few seconds.
Am I the only one who knows this?
The technique didn't work for me, as I moved once the alarm went off. Though when I went back to sleep, I did have my first DILD in a while.
Going to try the technique again over the weekend.
Crazy, wHat if we wake up before the alarm?? Go back to sleep?

Hey, I read this thread yesterday and decided to give it a try. It worked! But in a weird way.
I have an iPhone, so I set an event in the calendar app for 7 in the morning, an hour before I have to get up. I set it to alert me 15 minutes before the event, which sets off an rather light alarm for about 3 or 4 seconds that will not repeat. I put my phone on vibrate so it would wake me up just in case the alarm wasn't quite loud enough.
So in the middle of the night, I wake up to the alarm. I lie very still to see what will happen. In a very short time I realize that things feel different. My body feels very heavy and tingly and I am looking up at a closed door right next to my bed ( the door in reality was open) I feel that I am probably in a dream state, so I sit up and plug my nose and try breathing. I can breathe clearly, so I know I'm dreaming. I try not to get too excited, I get up, stretch, look around the room, then jump up and levitate by the ceiling. I decide to open the door and go to the next room, then decide to try going outside. As I get to the front door I wake up.
The weird part is, the alarm didn't go off. I must have dreamed it going off. Which makes me wonder if I dreamed the WILD too. It's all a little fuzzy. But, either way I did have a brief LD, so even just expecting the alarm to go off worked.
By the way, I never successfully WILDed before this, though I have had a few DILDs.
Having read somewhere else on this forum that someone has had 1 wild and 13 canwild's it spurred me on to do this which worked extremely well. Firstly I used a music sequencer program to create a two tone alarm using the in-built synthesiser to make a two tone alarm that lasts for 10 seconds. Secondly I recorded my voice saying, 'Dont move stay awake'. I layered this over the alarm repeating it for 1 minute. I copied the entire process so that it would go off every 15 minutes for the next two hours. I exported the 'project' as an mp3 and put my laptop at the head of my bed. I plugged in a headphone and went to bed and set my regular alarm clock to go off 6 hours later.
My regular alarm clock went off and I plugged in my headphone and played my custom canwild recording and went straight back to sleep as I had only been awake for about 15 seconds. I awoke 15 minutes later as the two tone alarm woke me up. Hearing 'Dont move saty awake' did the trick by keeping me still and also staying awake rather than having the intense desire to go straight back to sleep. I stayed awake for the next minute and then fell straight back to sleep after my recording ceased.
I didnt canwild though as I could feel that my body was very tense and my eyeballs were moving quite a lot so I feel that excitement and my desire to canwild was preventing me from wild'ing. However I had 8 experiences of what it feels like to wake-up and stay awake for a minute as my entire recording was to repeat the process 8 times over 2 hours.
I would like to add that the 'tinitus' listening that crazyinsane uses to enter a LD doesnt work for everyone. I have read School of Out-of-Body Travel
A Practical Guidebook that gives other techniques such as phantom wiggling and a whole host of others to initiate a LD. You can get it from http://books.obe4u.com/
Alright, the alarm goes off, all is well. I don't move. How long before I should start feeling the sensations of SP? How long should the SP last?
Cool, gonna try this out. Haven't had much success DEILDing or WILDING, so I hope this works. See if the alarm of my iPod nano 2G suits this purpose.
Thanks Dreamawe ;)

I'm pretty confident this should work. I failed doing this last night, only cause my cat woke me up at 4:50AM ish, and my alarm was set for 5:10. -__- It ruined the whole process.
But my alarm is just a song I like; I edited a part of the song to last 15 seconds, and it's just a gentle song with a girl singing. (The XX - Heart Skipped a Beat)
Hopefully I'll get something out of it tonight!
The alarm mp3 you gave on the first page works great to wake me up. Here's what happens every time though, I wake up, then I feel my body slowly get heavier, then it kinda of lightens up and just stays like that for a while without me going into paralysis or into a dream.
Does it matter if my eyes move at all?
It's best to just keep your eyes shut, and try to relax. Don't focus on your body physically either, try to think of a dream scene or something you want to dream about, think up images of where you want to go, and it should help get you farther. The more you try to get into a dream or SP, the harder it will be. Let your body take you there, and think of something cool. ;)Quote:

Yep, focusing on your breathing helps too, or so I've heard. I don't think it will matter if your eyes move, while in Sleep Paralysis your eyes are one of the few organs that can actually still move. (Rapid Eye Movement REM) You should be fine.Quote:
