I was attempting this method, and I had a dream that my mother woke me up. I was REALLY mad because I was waiting for the alarm to set, so I tried to go back to sleep. Then I thought "Wait, my mother isn't even in my apartment!" DANG IT!!!!!! I'll keep trying :D
RESULTS: I FINALLY HAD A LUCID DREAM FROM THIS METHOD! I decided to sleep early at around 6PM yesterday. I woke up to the alarm I set up on my PC ( I used the "TIMELEFT" Alarm freeware (you can google it can find it on cnet)) and set a countdown to wake me up at around 6 hours from then. I wake up, but I don't think I was still. I just wanted to get my 5+ hours of sleep before I did the method. So I set the alarm clock for 6:15 AM or so. I go back to sleep, then I think I woke half way from that time (around 3:xx AM). But I wasn't paying attention to the guide, I wanted to sleep at most one hour before 6:15 AM, but I forgot to lol.
Anyway, I was pretty mad of waking up so early, and just shut down my laptop in rage (I didn't break it haha). I decided to say a few words and just sleep. Then BAM LUCID DREAM...check my Dream Journal ----------->My most vivid lucid dream and longest! :dd - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views It was my first time after a few weeks of not hard-coring the different methods. It was a weird lucid dream though, like I could breathe through my nose, but not easily. I didn't feel as if my chest was stuck, so I had to be in a dream. Anyway, check my DJ if you people want to. :) Thank you CrazyInSane! Can't wait to try this method again. :D
hey all,
just been reading this, and i came across this unit, the FiiO S5 Speaker System
according to the blurb, you can pick your own music/WAV/whatever as the alarm - so i'm thinking you could make your own very short alarm noise, or maybe a spoken induction/instruction type thing?
anyways, they're on ebay for around £30, i'm wondering if it's worth a buy?
damn, edit to take my links out cos i'm a short-timer, lol
if you google the name you'll find a few links to sellers and reviews
No, it's probably not worth it. There's a load of free programs out there that do the exact same thing, and all you need is a laptop to play it from (because you may not have a desktop computer in your room). The program I use(d) is called LDTimer, although I'm not sure if I originally downloaded it by the same name. Just take some time to look around, and I'm sure you'll find something good.Quote:

uh, yeah.
so all i need is a £several-hundred laptop rather than a thirty quid clock.
thanks for the tip, but some of us don't have laptops or the money for them.
Ah. Sorry for being insensitive. Apparently you do have access to a computer, but the only way for it to be effective would be to sleep in the same room as it. I don't know you're living conditions, so maybe I'm in no position to say this, but if you can get a computer in the room that you sleep in then it would work.Quote:

I have a Question:
I did set my alarm to ring for about 5 sec with a 2.4 sec delay before the phone vibration goes off.. this gives the phone time to vibrate 2 times. it woke me up (mentally)
I remember that i swallowed (dont know if it's bad) and sleep paralysis never came and i remember that i did not move. Now my question is... What caused this? Did my alarm go on for too long? Was it because i swallowed?

i want to try this but i cant seem to find an alarm clock that stops sounding after it goes off any suggestions? and can you try this while napping?
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial. Im really excited to try this method..
Ive been cracking my head over how to do this. But i now i found out you dont even need any software at all. Theres a function in windows that can do this, its called Task Scheduler. It works for both Windows 7 and Vista and problably older too.
How to do it:
Find Task Scheduler in Control Panel -->
Create new task and choose "Start program" -->
Instead of choosing and program, just write the path to the MP3 -->
Then right click on the created task and go to "Properties" ->
Go to "Conditions" and you can choose to start computer from standby.
This is good because you need NO software and second your computer doesnt have to be running all night it will start up automatically.
Hope this will help you get started on this if you have problems finding the proper software..
Thanks! I'm going to try this out, I normally have my laptop on with a countdown timer along with my alarm clock to wake me up. :)Quote:

I use the 12,24 Alarm Clock Sleep Music in the app store. Works great!Quote:

You can use your own sounds. It has an option for iPod or something.
I've been trying this technique for 2 weeks now, and i dunno what the problem is. Since I'm on break now, I go to sleep at around 12 and set the alarm for 5, 5 45, and 6 30. After about successfully waking me up twice in the first week, it has generally stopped awakening me in the second week. The alarm is set at full volume on my Ipod and is about 4 seconds long. The app I'm using is called Pro:Alarm. Also, sometimes I wake up before the alarm goes off, (at times 5-10 minutes, but sometimes can be as much as 30-45 minutes), and cannot go back to sleep before the alarm actually rings. Any help?
Hrmmm, I wonder if going to bed a bit earlier than 12 would help. Different people need different spans of sleep for these kinds of methods to work, I noticed that much with my own generic WBTB. I guess in a nutshell, experiment with different times of going to bad, and/or different times to set your alarm for the CANWILD. What made me think that was the fact that you're sleeping through them. Either you're too tired and sleeping through the alarms, or getting used to it in which case try a new sound.
Good luck and please post results!
Thanks, CrazyInSane! I'll try this tonight! :D
I've tried this two nights in a row and, so far, I got nothing. :( The first night, my girlfriend called me one hour before the alarm, so I think that might've ruined it. Last night, I don't remember hearing the alarm. I know I set it up, but I can't remember waking up. I think I'll make it last a bit longer. :)
I'm off break now, and back to school so I have to wake up every morning at 6 30. I'll try going to bed tonight at 10 and setting the alarms near 6, though I'm certain I'll wake up before then. Anyways, I'll modify and post results!Quote:

It can also play sounds after a certain interval as well. Basically, it's a specialized timer/alarm clock aimed at helping achieve lucidity. I came across this forum and think this might be the right spot to offer it for discussion and testing. What would the perfect LD clock/timer/software tool look like? Maybe also include journaling capabilities?
I can make beta copies available for PC/Mac and Android (my iOS certificate is tied to my employer so I can't use that but if there's enough interest I could get my own).
So if this method works correctly and once i get then hang of it, i should be able to wild every night?
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I'm beginning to think that there's no such thing as a perfect LD timer. Everyone has specific needs, so I'd say that the best possible option would be a fully customizable timer that could meet those needs without including extra. Maybe it could have an options menu in which you toggle on/off flashing lights, sounds, intervals, etc. That way, once people know what signals reach them best, they'll be able to focus the program on that one signal and leave out anything else that could get in the way. Is that helpful?Quote:

Anyways, I set my calender alarm (Marimba - 7-8 seconds), woke up. The first thing I remembered was "Do not move". So I didn't move. Tried to stay as conscious as possible. Around a minute later, SP and vibrations began. Felt like being pulled to my left, but couldn't rolled out of my body. Well thats the thing about my WILDs, I've always experiencing WILD with OBE. I've had many WILDs before, but now I'm a little bit rusty :D
Result: Thank you CrazyInSane. This method is extremely effective. Those who try WILDing; SP and vibrations are the key elements of WILDs (OBE). Once you get them, if you don't lose consciousness, somehow you can manage to roll out of your body, or maybe gain some visuals.
Had one again last night. This method is getting very interesting :D But there was one problem, as soon as I got out of my body and adjust my visual (which was extremely vivid), I lost it pretty soon and woke up. Maybe because of the noise coming from outside, don't know.
*One thing that bugs me; well lets see, so far I've WILDed 24 times, all of them OBEs. Strange thing is that although the room is exactly the same, as soon as I went outside of my window everything changes at once. The places are not the actual places, I've never see them before, not to mention the fact that I didn't create them in dreams.
