Ohh so like; for example, if you went to bed at 9:00 and you had to wake up at 6:00, then you'd set one for 10:20, 11:40, 1:00, 2:20, 3:40, and 5:00? Something like that?

Yeah. Something like that. See what works best for you.
We, here at my country, had some days off, so, I created the following alarm:
I went to sleep at midnight~, one alarm at 03:30, one at 04:40, one at 06:00, 07:00 and the last at 08:00
At weekdays, when I sleep at 23:30 ~ 00:00 and wakeup at 7:00, I usually set one for 03:30 and another one at 04:25, though the technique haven't worked lately, my last an unique success was the last one I posted here, but I'll keep trying, I just need to put in my head to remember about the technique when I wake from the alarms.
My blackberry doesn't play my recurring alarms anymore unless I reset them, any idea why this would be?
Just joined, I am starting to get interested in lucid dreaming. but have had no success. I currently have the short alarm recorded onto a tape, that I get to wake me up around 5 or 6. But I can never get past waking up and falling back asleep with no consciousnesses. I sometimes try saying things like "I will be lucid dreaming" or whatever, over and over to keep my mind active. I'm going to start trying counting backwards from 100 again, seeings as I got a good alarm now. But any suggestions of what I can do? I guess I need to do more research though, since I don't know much. I have been doing reality checks more though. so I hope that might help :P
All I can tell you is too not focus to much on the counting because it will keep you awake. Your main focus it to fall asleep but use an anchor to keep your mind conscious enough.Quote:

Even our beloved host CrazyInSane who claims to have experienced remarkable success with this technique has fallen mute.
Once again read the opening lines to this thread:
“Three (3) easy steps to an almost-guaranteed WILD every morning using a special technique that doesn't require a disruptive WBTB! Yes, you CAN-WILD!!!”
“Three (3) easy steps,” I don’t think so! After reading 508 posts I have found that there is nothing “easy” at all about this technique!
“…almost-guaranteed WILD every morning…” Is there anyone out there that has mastered this technique in such a way that they experience an “almost-guaranteed WILD every morning”?
“Yes, you CAN-WILD!!!” Please post any on going success stories if there be any!
As we search for the best way to optimize our goals of lucidity let us make the best use of our limited time! :roll:
It would work for me, but I always wake up before my alarm. It took me like 30 seconds to find the alarm I needed. Maybe I will give this a shot again.
I didn't get your point for being so mad.
You probably did read my post, I said I had two lucids and one semi-lucid in an afternoon nap.
It's all about your will power and finding your best alarm setting, I belive no one can help you with that. I pointed this technique for your to use with the FILD technique, like I did, you can consider doing it, or not.
I'd assume since this thread was posted, the author has had success. Whats wrong with trying to help? I have not had it work yet, but do have faith in it. I certainly hope the creator isn't trying to conquer the world... I wish you luck in your own pursuitsQuote:

hmmm, I actually think this might work for me, I have an alarm that is a mediation bell lasts about 4 seconds and is designed to gently wake you out of your meditative state, see no reason why it cant work for this.
i believe this tutorial has fallen into the "worked for one person..the guy who made it" category
this seems to, overall, have very limited success for others
its great that this works for the creator of the tutorial, but it doesnt seem like a damn person has got it to work for them..i gave up on this a long time ago..sorry :/
I've had it work 3 times in about 5 weeks. The main reason it doesn't work most days is because I wake up 15-45 minutes before my alarm goes off, so it ends up being a wasted night. I can't tell you how many times that has happened, and I even set it for different times but it still happens :(
I wish I could get this method to work as OP describes it because when I do manage to get it right entering SP and dreams is incredibly easy.
Well I for one am using the principle as a launching pad for continued LD experiences. If you've got a better way, please share instead of just coming to say the obvious to those of us who are still trying to figure it out.Quote:

Haven't tried this method for two months now; I gave up when school started again. I get ~5 hours of sleep every night so it wouldn't work out. However, I'll be trying it the next few days.
The main problem for me has been that every single time I try the method there's a new minor thing that ruins it. When I fix the problem, a new one shows up. When I fix all the problems, the first ones start showing up again. I've been trying this method consistently from about February to August. Every single night, at least one alarm per night. I've done everything right, managed to lie still every time, and still I would just either fall asleep, remaining too unfocused to enter a LD, or wake up too much and be unable to fall back asleep. I'm not trying to put the method down or anything, I'm just telling you guys how it worked for me, as I was one of the few who actually stuck to it. I've had about five lucids because of this technique, in a total of about six months.
Same with me. Recently I got into SP 2 or 3 times, so I feel I can get it to work now, but alas, the other night I couldn't sleep, and my alarm also doesnt wake me quite often. I figure I'm getting tuned with the noise...
I will try this tonight. I have used similar techniques, with good results in the beginning only. It's like my mind gets bored of a technique.
Yea. I've frequently been using this tech, but haven't been setting my alarm lately. I have one question though. Can your mind (or body?) get immune to the sound over time? I've been using CrazyInsane's own alarm noise for my laptop. One night I set about 5 alarms. None of them woke me up! Is my mind used to it or something? The alarms don't seem to wake me up now.
I believe you can, and I think this is what happened to me. It never wakes me up anymore, unless I increase the volume, which I can't keep doing... I am going to not put it on for a few nights, then try again... hopefully this will reset my hearing...Quote:

OK, it seems that this thread is much more popular than my thread. So I'll just repost it here, since it is about CAN-WILD alarms.
I've read the CAN-WILD guide, and there seems to be a lot of buzz on "buying" an alarm clock. I just made an ABSOLUTELY FREE one in VS2010! I put it on my home server:
http://www.mmtq.tk/files/OpenAlarm.zip
Extract the ZIP to anywhere you like.
The alarm is "OpenAlarm.exe." Just input your alarm time as ex. "5:30", not "05:30." And browse to your WAV alarm.
Included is a small batch file to convert MP3 to WAV in case you don't have WAV alarm sounds. Replace "input.mp3" with your MP3, rename it to "input.mp3", and execute the "MP3toWAV.bat" file. Good luck!
P.S. This program relies on .NET Framework 2. If the program doesn't run (it probably will starting from XP SP3), please download it from
Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)
P.P.S. If you are interested, a source code repository is available at:
http://www.mmtq.tk/OpenAlarm/
Edit: This alarm will crop your audio to 5 seconds. Great for WILD! AND you can use my included "output.wav" which is a recognizably terrible orignal remix of the "Intel Inside" ad sound.
Hey. I used this technique, and it worked. Thanks.
The real test is if I can get it to work consistently. My mind has a weird way of getting bored with techniques.
