Problem occurred! I remained conscious for awhile, waiting in bed to feel the SP kick in, the sound wound't stop though, so after awhile, i gave the chord of my earpiece a gentle tug, so it wouldn't be so loud. I didnt have a LD, could that slight movement been the reason I didn't feel the sleep paralysis to kick in? and does it matter how loud the alarm is?

Hmm I tried this last night, I had the EasyMp3 Alarm Clock thing running on my computer, I didn't know how loud to put the volume however, I am a deep sleeper so I put it high, it woke me up and I managed to stay still but my eyes instantly shot open. So it must of been too loud I guess?
Problem is this being 4 seconds long I'm worried if it's too quiet I just won't awaken at all.
Huh, strange I've been attempting this for like a week now, but I always I mean literally almost always wake up before the alarm. Sometimes 10 or 30 minutes before it goes off. Its irritating because its almost impossible to fall back to sleep while acknowledging I'm about to DIELD.Quote:

My suggestion to you is to try to set the intention to wake up at a certain time, without setting the alarm. That way you'll be ready to WILD without even needing the jarring alarm. If I didn't have to get up early for work or classes, I would try that myself.Quote:

I've been practising this technique even before I read about it - Wow. Didn't know it was one. I've just been plastering free mp3 files together to make something that will wake me up within that amount of time. My only issue is since I stopped practising, it's been hard to wake up without opening my eyes and moving around.
I'm sure it will come right though.
This is a very neat idea that I might try sometime soon. For now I'm testing out the FILD technique due to a lack of technology needed.
Try and do some autosuggestion before you go to bed saying you wont open your eyes when the alarm goes off. Its worth a shot .Quote:

From personal experience, you might want to just find an MP3 that suits you. I think I remember what the original MP3 file was: imagine a whistle, getting louder and higher in pitch for three seconds. It may end up jolting you rather than just awakening you, so I'd recommend finding a sound that's loud enough to awaken you, but serene enough to keep you from being startled.Quote:

I had the same problem when I tried it. Thinking back to it, I don't think I ever actually succeeded... :shock:Quote:

Thanks, I'll be sure to do that.Quote:

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:

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 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?
RiserEmilioX
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:

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.
Do we try to roll out of our body physically? If not, how do you do that? Try feel what its like when you actually do it?
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:

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:

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:

:)
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:
http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/link...-corona-40894/
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
I myself have Nokia 5200 phone so lucidweaver was the only choiceQuote:

Few days ago a message from my provider came and this woke me up yet not disrupted.
I lied still with my eyes closed in mere fiveteen seconds successfully deilded :yeah
So i've decided today to give once more DEILD/CAN-WILD a try yet with my own modified lucidweaver sounds.
I've made two of them
Modified Three Beep sound, it will now play 10 seconds yet it will start quiet and slowly increase volmue
And second one is same as above yet a little louder
If volmues are still bad it can be still adjusted through lucidweaver volmue stuff aswell ;-)
I've included them in attached zip file if anybody wants
Installation is simple
1. Get lucid weaver file on your pc (.jar file?)
2. Open it with winrar
3. Replace sounds with new ones
4. Close Archive
5. Put lucid weaver back onto your cellphone
6. Try stuff out
- Gong - Loudest Three Beep -
- Three Beep - Normal Volmue Three Beep -
If Gong is too loud try Three Beep and if it's aswell too loud then change volmue
Also make sure that cue amount is set to 1
Edit:
Included aswell experimental replacement of Melody one with Nokia E52 'Message 1.aac' (The tone which woke me up and resulted in successful deild back few days ago?)
Replacement technique is same, i guess?
Very interesting MisakaMikoto will have to give that a shot when i'm on a pc with the net as i'm usually on my cell.
Lucidweaver*did jar me awake a little last morning a few times, and having the sound fade in is of great benefit i would think. I have mine set for 6hours at first and then a sound go off every 30 minutes.
I've found another free app that works, alarm clock xtreme free. Has loads of settings lets any sound you want fade in and can set it to turn off, plus set multiple alarms to increase odds.
Will continue playing round as I like the sound to fade in and not shock me awake, also thinking of adding a voice with maybe some music.
Only just found this thread, and I must say this is one of the best techniques I have read. I really think this could work for me and have put the wheels is motion for getting this going. What I've just realised is that I could have been doing this for a while now. My girlfriend has M.E and she often doesn't sleep very well. Often she is still awake watching telly when I'm getting up for work at 5:10am. I've just told her that if I'm lying in bed completely still, and asleep, after about 6 hours (that's me presuming I'm in REM and dreaming), to whisper in my ear "Craig, you're dreaming, Craig, you're dreaming...". I hoping I will hear this in my dream and it will help me to become lucid.
The reason I have replied to this thread is because I would never have thought about asking my girlfriend to do this had I not read it. Hopefully it will work. Cheers man.
For those who are still interested and to try to keep this post alive so others can see the method :chuckle: For those who are using Apple products, there is a perfect app for the smart clock which produces this sharp sound for however long you want it (2, 5, 10 seconds) it's called Alarm Clock Bud. The free version also allows you to use the smart clock
Anyone who has Blackberry Bold 9000 this setup is for you, and you don't need an app. It's probably similar for most smart phones sounds and profile settings.
1.Go to the volume icon in the upper left right beneath the date. And click the track pad. Select a profile will pop up you will get a list of options all alerts off, normal, loud, medium ect. beneath all of them in this pop up is an option called change Sounds and Alerts, click it. In the new menu click sounds for selected profile.
Once you do this edit profile will come up, click Events-Reminders. After this click Calender. Now you can set up an Alarm that auto cut's off in calender, by default this is silent with no vibrations, so unless you did this you would think calender was only a pop up alarm. you can set between 1-3 reminder tones and or 1-10 vibrations and strength of vibration. By default even if you set these up right they are designed as business alerts in a job setting, and are set to in holster which means your phone won't work as a canwild, deild alarm. To make it work while not holstered and just sitting on your bedside, change to out of holster, or always. Once set up to your desired amount and loudness, click the back button once. This will bring up changes made! click save. Also make sure your sound is different than the one for your waking up alarm, because you want a septate noise not associated with waking up.
2. Go to calender after you do all of 1. Click whatever time you want to try your deild/canwild make sure all day is not clicked. Under Start: list the time you want to try canwild. Under End: Make the time the same as start. Duration: should read 0 Hours 0 Mins if done correctly. Make sure time zone is right. After that set reminder to 0min and recurrence to eather none, or alternatively daily if you plan on canwilds at this same time everyday. After all that click the back button again, and click save. Congrats, it's now saved.
3.Make a mantra that associates the sound that you chose in the 1st steps as meaning you will have a lucid dream. This is very important for deild/canwild alarms. Listion to the alarm noise in event's/reminders folder you made the changes to, at the bottom is a icon labeled try it, click it many times to get used to your canwild noise while saying to yourself (not out loud or people will think your crazy ;P, or more crazy XD) this sound means a lucid dream is going to happen.
That's it, unfortunately not many have this phone, but if you do This is how you set it up without any downloaded software. If anyone else wants to post set up instructions for other smart devices included sound profile reminders section that would be great, I'd love for all the different phone's deild alarms to be under in one thread, would be great for everyone. And it would be great putting them here, since this is the thread that started canwild alarms.
Does anyone else have this problem? When I have an alarm that's too close to my normal waking hour, like 60-90 minutes, when it goes off I just wake up WAY too much and take forever to fall back asleep. Could it be just that the alarm is too startling, or do I need to have it go off earlier so I can fall asleep much quicker?
Gonna try this out tonight! :D
I read the first page, and the last dozen or so, so I know this has been asked before.
But: has anyone gotten this to work for them the majority of the times they try it?
OMG u are a genius ! :lol:
This worked for me last night. Like the author pointed out, the ability of the alarm to switch off automatically after a set number of rings, is ideal. I set it to FIRST go off after 5 hours sleep, and then every 1/2 hour thereafter. I set the alarm loud enough to wake me, but not to go on long enough as to make it difficult to get back to bed. In all, each time it was set to go off, it beeped for maybe 7 or 8 seconds altogether. I googled "customizable alarms" (for those of us without smart phones) and used this PC program. It is on a site dedicated to Astral projection but can be used great for lucid dreaming. A tool like this really needs to be coupled with a working knowledge of WILD, dream signs and regular awareness throughout the day.
Lucid Dreaming & OBE alarm program (freeware)
Sounds interesting. I'll be trying this for the next few days.
Great to see people are still getting mileage out of my technique... haven't been on this forum for over 5 years but I've checked in on it every now and again. Just got back into LDing again after a period off due to busy lifestyle and a lot of personal things, just in time for my 10th year on DreamViews! I can no longer update the original post unfortunately, which I would do if I could to add all the necessary updates about the new apps available on both the Apple App Store and now Google's Android Play Store (latter of was virtually unheard of back in 2009).
But for now, I can recommend using the Alarm Xtreme Free app, where you can manipulate the settings for this technique easily (I'm sure someone else here may have already mentioned it). Anyway, glad to be back here, hope everyone has been doing well! Cheers.
Wow, good to see you're back! Funny thing, I took a several year break and just came back yesterday. I've always loved your technique. I don't see alarm xtreme in the apple App Store. I found xtrememac alarm clock but it won't work with this technique.
Hmm, yeah I guess it appears that app is only available for Android. I'm not very familiar with Apple apps and devices because I've only ever owned an Android smartphone, so I'm afraid I'm unsure of the particular features of the alarm apps available for Apple devices. Sorry about that. Maybe someone else can chime in.
I've looked thru some earlier posts and it appears "Alarm clock bud" will do the trick - for Apple products. Trying it out and will report if this app will work for this method
Tried last night and didn't move when my alarm went off but my dog woke up and kept moving so that was distracting me too much :(
I'm gonna try this one. The problem for me is not waking up per se. But getting the timing right I think. So with more attempts I'll have a better chance of a lucidQuote:

Hey guys!
I found a way to do this easily using the native alarm app on the iPhone. I made a video for DreamViews members here: https://www.dreamviews.com/induction...rm-iphone.html
still using CWILD from time to time when I can be arsed to, hehe
DEILD is my go-to technique.
it takes two lil thingies to pull it off doe
first is being in REM or close enough to REM
you can also pull off DEILD whenever you wake up
but I find it a bit harder
my ideal conditions for DEILD are waking up abruptly during ongoing dream, kinda as if it destabilized
or inducing that state through CANWILD:
- alarm clock xtreme auto-shutoff ring every 10 - 20 minutes after 6 hours of sleep
- wake up
- do DEILD
- rinse and repeat
second thingy is attention shift
you need to shift your attention towards imaginary/dream world to kickstart back dreaming process
DEILD where I do nothing but wait never worked me, I just woke back up even if I lied still for 5 minutes
even if I just woke up in still ongoing REM phase (REM aka dreaming phase)
u kinda need to override senses with imaginary ones to certain extent
some people achieve this by visualizing dream scene
I find it tiresome especially since you need to do it when ur groggy n' awakened from sleep
I use something similar which is imagining motion
I imagine that my bed is spinning
eventually spinning motion feels real
I feel vibrations
and re-enter dream world now lucid
I also imagine sometimes that bed is moving forward backward,left and right, back and forth
Some people find one way easier than other
Helps to practice doing this before actually performing imagining spinning when waking up for DEILD unprepared
I trained in bed night before sleep
If you share a bed with someone and worry about disturbing them, using a Fitbit's / fitness band's vibration function might work well for you (vibrates on the wrist when you get a text message). Pair it with an app like "Do It Later", which allows you to schedule sending text messages at specific times automatically, and you can get a pretty good result.
1st message to self: two hours before your normally wake time
2nd message to self: 30 min after that
3rd message to self: 30 min after the second message
And so on. Each text will vibrate your wrist and then stop without you needing to move. It's quiet for others but noticable for you.
