When you feel that transition (vibrations, sounds, images) and realize that something is wrong, you simply try to move, but not physically. That's all. When you actually do it, it feels like floating, or moving like you're drunk until you stabilize your vision.Quote:

Whilst practising this technique, I created my own alarm which allows you to change the interval in which the tune or song is played for before it goes off automatically so you don't have to move. Anyone is looking for an automatic alarm, check this out. I've added the source which is Visual Basic 2008 if you want to change anything.
Automatic Alarm.rar
Is the "auto-stop alarm" an iPod app??
There are apps for that but you don't need an app if you have ipod or iphone. Their calendar alarms go off one time and stops. Thus if you put an alarm sound which was 5-7 seconds long, it should work fine. Ex, marimba works for me.
Had 2 WILDs this morning again. This method is by far the best mothod for me. Waking up and staying awake for a few minutes also works, but this one feels more natural.
roland, when you wake up and you are waiting for trnasition signs, what do you do?
Just lay there?
Focus on breathing
or somet different?
I just focus on my intention and aware of my body, like waiting for vibrations to start. Yeah I just don't move whatsoever and I don't feel my breathing either.Quote:

This method sounds promising. I'm intrigued! I've had a high rate of success with DEILDs in the past, but I rarely wake up in the middle of the night to use the technique.
How did you change the calendar alarm tune? I opened my iPhone's native calendar app and pushed the little '+' at the top to add an event, then I set an alert for the event, but the only setting I can change is the time of the alert. It plays a little "blip blip" noise about 2 seconds long and stops automatically. I'm not sure if that is enough to wake me up. If I could set it to a longer tune, e.g. marimba as you suggested, that would be perfect. I have the older iPhone 3 if it makes any difference.Quote:

I'll do some searching on Cydia to see if I can't find a different alarm app better suited to this technique... Nevertheless, I will attempt to use this app tonight and post my results in the morning!
To change its tune: settings -> sounds -> calendar alertsQuote:

Oh, I see. Thanks. And yeah, I tried that lucid dream app for two nights and couldn't get it to work.
Hey guys!
I've had lucid dreams before, but it was just randomly. This time I'm trying to do it right, and this sounds like something that will work for me.
I'm just wondering, if you guys found out a way to set up an alarm for an android phone maybe? I have a PC in the room where I sleep too, but it's really loud and I'm assuming it has to be turned on and it also won't turn off after the alarm rings?
Thanks for any help, I don't have enough time on my hand to go through the whole topic, because of studying. Thanks
maybe an alternative for those who have an Ipod: Just create a 1,5 hour audio file with basically no content except the first 5 seconds.
I took a great Beatles song for the first 5 seconds and filled the rest of the file with an audiobook which is muted.
If you have a mac with Garageband its quite easy to do this.
I am also pretty pumped to try this new method. Good luck to y'all folks
I have no idea if there has been posted a solution to the iPod issue, just read the first 2 pages.
But I got an idea, there is an app called "Alarm Clock Pro", there is also a free version available, which features mp3 alarm support.
Maybe this will work, grab a Mp3 from your computer, download an audio editing program, like Audacity(free program) then edit the song to about 5 - 10 seconds, and then choose it for your alarm.
And turn off alarm repeat, maybe this will work?
Happy Dreaming!
Is it important that the alarm is very short so that it doesn't wake you up completely?
Some tips on a good, easy and stable anchor! :)
I've got a great idea guys, I'm going to set an alarm on my laptop for this, and then if I do happen to fall asleep then I have another alarm set 20 minutes later so I can do a reguler WILD. If I can't get asleep then I'll just do a regular WILD 20 minutes early. Gives me two chances in one night without wasting much sleep.
I've tried that but with 1,5 hours in between, I always misses one of them :D 4 hours after I sleep usually gets me going.Quote:

When you finish downloading the app go to the alarm page(second icon on the bottom) and delete the preset alarm they have. Make you're own alarm at whatever time and click Alert Sound. There will be a tab called SHORT ALERTS and choose the first one there(Short Alert). When the alarm rings, it will only ring once and the Short Alert is only 3 seconds; PERFECT! THANK ME LATER LOLS.
I tried this method . Do we need to have an alarm that will not startle you too much? Cause my alarm is darn loud and it startles me when I wake up and I always tend to open my eyes
There are two things here. One, your alarm is startling you, and two, you're opening your eyes. For the startling alarm, I'd recommend finding a short sound file of something soothing, like a wind instrument, and play that softly as the alarm. It's a much more pleasant awakening than the typical alarm, I can tell you that. I'm assuming you're not using the same program that I used, but if you can't change the sound file, find a different program or app. As for the eyes opening, that's something that you have to train yourself to do. One of the most common methods for doing that is using a mantra to remember not to open your eyes. If you're thinking about keeping your eyes closed when you fall asleep, you're a lot more likely to remember not to open them when you wake up.
Lol I was using my watch :/ . I will try to look for alarm which supports custom alarmQuote:
