Thread: **CrazyInSane's WILD tutorial!!**

I'm afraid I tried last night,
But the alarm didnt work for me.

The times are mixed up.
I can't select whether or not I want it during the am, or pm.
It automatically goes to pm.

I realized this when I woke up at 4am, and checked my laptop to see why it didnt go off.

The alarm was like, 12 hours late. Which was way too late. I tried changing it on the spot, but there was no am or pm button.
I don't know if it has anything to my timezone, which is GMT - 5:00 Eastern.

Any help would be appreciated, becaue i'm sure this method would work for me.

Yeah there's an annoying bit with that alarm. It doesn't indicate AM or PM until you click "Set Alarm"... then under the time/date indicator it will read either "Alarm set to 04:00" or "Alarm set to 16:00", which is the 24-hour clock indicator for 4:00 PM. Try it again and make sure it says "04:00" not "16:00" once you set the alarm. There's no way of knowing for sure which one it's at until you click "Set Alarm". And no, it has nothing to do with your timezone, it goes by your PC's clock.

Let me know if you experience any other problems! Good luck.

How would I try it again?
Go backwards on the hours until it shows the am time, as opposed to pm?


I just tried it with 11:50.
At first it said 23:50,
So I went back on the hours, until I got to 11 again, and I pressed set alarm and this time it set it to the correct time.

This sucks, because I was so excited to try out this method.

Just try again tonight. I've had nothing but problems, too. I mean, there's been a different problem every night, so I am slowly making progress, but it is frustrating.

Last night, for example, I woke up and tried to get the ball rolling, but I just kept itching. Mind you, I know that the body tries to see if you're awake by sending random itches to you, but this was ridiculous. Once I moved and started scratching myself, the itches just kept coming. It was driving me crazy!

Hopefully tonight will be more lucky.

I was unable to find a free ipod alarm app with an auto stop function, so I made something that does the pretty much the same thing. I used this app in combination with some mp3s I made.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alarm...336262308?mt=8

It allows you to select a song to play as an alarm, so I made a set of mp3s. I realized that each person is different so I made a few different kinds of alarms. The mp3 is just a tone for either 3, 5, or 10 seconds followed by a long silence( this is because if there was no silence, the alarm would just loop the tone non stop, so this long silence allows you enough time to ld, wake up, and then turn off the alarm). I also realized that peoples ipods may be a bit short on space so I made the silence either 1 hour or 30 minutes.

I uploaded the set of alarms here if anyone wants them. Because they are mainly silence, they have amazing zip compression (247 MB to 1.34 MB)

I've been trying for three nights to no avail ; I slip right back into sleep after the alarm. But then I'm sick and under heavy medication at the moment, so that may influence the way I sleep. I'll keep trying anyway.

This alarm thing works for me everytime. Try to set it louder if it doesnt wake you up. Last night i tried to get into a dream as soon as laid down and relaxed. After i couldnt feel my body anymore from not moving and focusing on my dreaming, here came the part that feels like you are floating. i thought to myself "awesome", but immediately remembered what happened last time i got too excited and went back to focusing on my breathing and telling myself i would know that i am dreaming. I wanted my dream to begin with me laying in my bed, so i kept imagining myself floating into the dream world, and it happened as i open my eyes but i think i opened them too soon and it faded away. I was so close. I tried a WBTB and i couldnt get it to work i even smoked some weed when i wokeup, oh and also befoe i went to bed, it helps me relax ten fold.

I have found a way to record my voice onto my cell....but I still can't get it to ring only once. Help, please?

I got startled by my cellphone alarm when i tried this... and moved alot.

But now my computer is working again and i'll try this again with the alarm originally mentioned. I'll edit this post after i try this tech again If it doesn't works, i'll still find this tech the best one out there.

this sounds very interesting and i will try this.
as for the alarm that starts and stops by itself.. i would suggest downloading this to your cell phone.
http://www.lucidweaver.com/
its free so dont worry about that. i got it a while ago and realized it would work for this. it has three functions.
The first is meant to wake the person up at a set time during the night or in cycles during the night.
The second is an actual waking alarm.
The third sets up random periods where your phone prompts you to do reality checks.
The only one you need to worry about is the Dream function. if you set it right in the options you can set it so it only goes off once and stops immediately.
Steps:
1: Highlight the "Dream" icon, it has what looks like a moon on it. Hit Options, then Settings.
2. Click on "Dream Settings"
3. The options in here can be set to every individuals needs depending on how they want to be woken up. The only ones you have to change are:
a. Delay set to 1
b. Cycle length set to the number of minutes you want it to wake you up. EX: if you want 6 hours you would type in "360"
c. Extra Period to 1
d. Extra Repeat to 1

and thats it.. and trust me its not really that hard i just put instructions for people that couldnt figure it out by themselves.

notes: you need to have someway to get the application to your phone, whether through bluetooth on your computer or a direct connection etc.
the instructions i gave could be different for other phones, so beware of that. and also make sure to shut off the application after you wake up, so it doesnt go off during the day 360 minutes later (or however long you set it).

hope this helps yalls.

Giving this a shot tonight, though it's getting late, so I doubt it'll work. I'll keep on trying, and see how it goes. I'm sure this is a technique that will work really well for me actually. Thanks
