Hey everyone! I'm very new to this whole thing and happened to stumble upon this tutorial yesterday...Tried it, and although I heard the alarm, and did not move one bit, nothing happened :/ After a while I just gave up and tried to go back to sleep...But it took my like, an hour to do so :P Will be trying again tonight though!
There are an enormous amount of disappointing posts in this thread because of two reasons.Quote:

Far greater results are achieved by using a natural awakening.
Secondly, the method of listeng to the natural sounds one can hear inside one's head isn't a universal method that will work for everyone all of the time. In fact for some people it will only work on rare occasions.
If you want to have success with this type of WILD then download this free ebook from this link
I think this might work I have a cooking timer with buttons I go to sleep set it for ex 4 it wakes me up and I only use my thumb to turn it off therefore still staying in sp
Lucid dreaming is beginning to get frustrating. I see little-to-no success stories on any tutorial posted. Are the majority of the users on this site still attempting to have their first purposefully-induced lucid dream?
Tried this last night and fell asleep. Im on break now so ill have more time to do it today.
I tried this method for like 4 nights to no success cause my custom alarm either didn't ring or I didn't hear it, so here's the thing, this morning I woke up for school at 7, brushed my teeth and washed my face. When I returned to my room to change clothes, I was like super groggy and tired so I laid down on my bed, and I feel asleep immediately with a short dream that was continued from the night. After a while I woke up again but I was still super sleepy so I was just drifting off on bed, and I thought if I still continue thinking would I be able to have a lucid dream? AND THEN SUDDENLY my ears were ringing and I felt tingly and I just immediately knew I was in a lucid dream I mean the tingly feeling was so obvious yknow?? But the thing is I sort of can feel that my actually limbs are not moving as I tried moving my hands in my dream. like it feels really weird. And I performed a nose RC too, to double confirm. But I think I didn't 'open' my eyes in the dream so I didn't exactly get to see anything before my mind start instructing me to get up so I won't be late for school. Anyway, I finally figured it doesn't matter whether you open your eyes wake up walk wtv the most impt thing is that you must FEEL SUPER TIRED AND SLEEPY In order to enter dream state while being conscious!! So guys don't worry bout the alarm thing you CAN move your hands as long as you're still yearning for sleep afterwards. Just don't get too excited and expect too much otherwise your mind won't let you go to sleep!
I'm sure it's been done before otherwise, but it's certainly easier this way. I guess that means I need to try lucid dreaming after I've had a big meal and am tired from the serotonin production.Quote:

You can even download ringtones that will work best for you and make sure that you aren't woken up too aggressively by the normal BEEP BEEP BEEP crap! :D

I'm going to use this alarm app for iPhone: Auto-Shutoff Alarm Clock for iPhone / iPod Touch
I'm a bit sceptical about the technique though. Not as such but personally for me. The trickiest thing for me to to try not to go back to sleep immediately after I press the snooze button. When I got lazy with WBTB. I used to just wake up and lie in bed instead but promptly fall asleep. Seemed like I needed that WBTB period. Still though, I'm going to try it as it seems fairly simple and less disruptive.
So, If this is Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming, I guess I used the Easy MP3 alarm for a DILD, but IT WORKED!
This was just kick ASS!
I have to admit it was only a momentary lucid, but the point was it was predictable and purposeful.
I have found that I might dream what the news is saying when I wake up with the news as my alarm. I've dreamed my brother was walking around spewing the news, and I wondered how the fu*k he could know things in that detail, and I wished he would quit sounding like the news guy.
This kind of thing has happened a lot, so instead of using the Easy MP3 by using a short sound or something, I recorded myself talking and sounding like the news, but suggesting things for myself. At one point, I said, "Reality check" 4 times. I made the 4th time hesitate to throw off the pattern so that I wouldn't get used to it and start to ignore it.
Well, one of those 4 times, I heard it in my dream. I decided to RC, and I saw 5 fingers, but I always focus and make sure it doesn't change. Sure enough, they became 6 deformed fingers. I got so excited in my dream because I knew what had happened, that I tried to find someone in my dream (stupid) to tell that it worked.
That was the extent of the dream, and my lucidity, but the point is it worked. I can think of at LEAST a few ways to modify this to take advantage of my success--to hone my method. This is kick ass! Hello lucidity!
Much love to CrazyInSane!
Hi everybody. I was looking through this entire thread to see if a certain iPod app was mentioned, so I wouldn't repeat anyone. But holy crap this is a huge thread!!
Anyway, the app is called Alarmed. The link is here
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id371886784
Best part is, it's a completely free app! Great for cheapskates like me ;) the best way to use this is to go to the section Reminders. These alarms will all shut themselves off automatically. Some are quite long, while others are short. You can't make your own alarm, but it still works pretty well.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
I had a successful DEILD last night attempting this. I just told my mind that at the times I arranged for the alarms to ring, I would keep my eyes closed, remain still, and realize that I'm dreaming.
Pretty decent lucid, but I kind of rushed things and went with whatever was shown to me.
EDIT:
Here's the entry, it's the first dream:

I'm trying this tonight, wish me luck!!!
This will get me my first LD can't wait!
Any app that will work as a good alarm for android phones?
Ok, so I know I'm a little late to the study and I wouldn't usually post so late after the OP, but after reading nearly every post, I've come to the conclusion that this may be one of the best induction techniques I've read about yet. I'm reading this at dinner time after another failed night at lucid dreaming. I'm still yet to have any kind of true lucid dream. I know my LD count says 1, however I don't really look at it as truly lucid as all that happened was I thought I was dreaming and I was doing reality checks, but they all failed to confirm that I was dreaming, so I never got the true realization of being aware in my dreams.
Anyway, getting back on topic, I'm going to give this method a try tonight and over the next few weeks. Coming in late might be beneficial to my studies though as after reading through the posts, I have decided to set a number of alarms, chose a mantra and if all else fails, each time I awake and fail, I will do WBTB. So in summation, I will be road testing your technique and I will post my findings after each night.
I'm looking forward to my first interactive lucid dream and hope this may be the turning point I've been waiting for. I will also link to your tutorial through my Dream Journal.
Cheers,
Nicho...!
Well, I was wondering how long the alarm sound should be since I'm A HEAVY sleeper.
Thanks in Advance
This sound like it will work! I've tried WILDing many times, and have almost got there, but am never relaxed enough. Since the Easy MP3 Alarm clock wouldn't work for me (I don't know why) I just made my own sound track on Movie Maker (basically it just shows a black screen and plays the sound when needed). I will try this tonight!
Hopefully it will be my first lucid dream!
For anyone still interested in this technique and need a good alarm clock: The android app "Alarm Clock Plus" is great.
definitely trying this tonight!
Oh my god, it worked! The second time around it worked for me, first time the loud beeping I set as alarm startled me and I moved. I don't know if someone asked this before but, what if you'd set a voice saying "don't move" as an alarm? Has anyone tried?
For any android users and possibly ios users looking for an alarm app. Alarm clock plus is a free app i found on the google playstore. It has an autodismiss option if you go in to settings. Im gonna try this out tonight sounds like a pretty solid technique, will report back tomorrow.
Is there anyone still doing this Technique and are successful?
I have tried this technique a few times and the only problem is when I try to visualize my upcoming dream when I'm still in SP, then I'm always screwing things up. But I guess it's all about motivation and patience, to practice all the time and never give up.
So please share your attempts to this technique. I still believe this is a very good technique.
In this case you might've been in NREM Phase when you woke up or just visualization was too mind engagingQuote:

Setting up two or three alarms should guarantee 100% chance to hit REM when one of them rings
First one after like 6 - 8 hours of sleep so REM Phase is going to be quite long.
But next alarms should ring 30 - 35 minutes after eachother so there's a high chance that it won't mess up if you landed in NREM :cheeky:
Here's an example situation:
1. After seven hours of sleep alarm rings.
2. You wake up
3. You managed to be motionlessl yet nothing is happening due to waking up in NREM Sleep :(
4. You decide to get back to sleep
5. After 30 - 35 minutes another alarm rings
6. You just hit the REM Phase but miserebly you had to sneeze for few minutes therefore breaking CAN-WILD attempt :(
7. You fell asleep (REM Phase should go on for a long time still)
8. Once more you wake up and this time manage to keep still while being in REM Phase
9. Your starting to feel transitition
And then suddenly you find yourself on the Beautiful Hawaii Beach while being fully aware that it's a dream :awesomed:
I've been reading about this to technique in the passed but never gave it a good go. It seems very good using the alarm as help to wake up the mind. I tried it for a few nights and got lucid last morning from it, it was like a sped up WILD. I over slept in the morning and used the app lucidweaver, also found alarm clock pro around. But wondering anyone with alarm clock pro, i go advance sound fade in but that just makes the music slowly fade in to get louder and the alarm just replays, cant stop the music from replaying whatever i do, even if its got long silence in it? Anyway it was a cool experience since most of my lucid dreams are from DILD's. I will continue doing this with the lucidweaver, and try out other apps, and hope someone can explain alarm clock pro on android. Let lucid dreaming be not just a practice but a way of life :)
Edit: Just saw two different Alarm clock pro's another one made by Caynax and i got ihandysoft
