Thread: Setting multiple alarms one after another in the mornings = easy lucidity?

Try repeating a phrase in your mind or a word as soon as the alarm wakes you. This will help bring a tiny bit of waking awareness back past the curtain of sleep. I use something like "Thank you for this dream, My Lord, thank you for this dream." I also feel a double meaning with this one, as in I am also being thankful for this life (which is a dream too.) Of course that is my own phrase and your's need not be so prayer like. It could be simple, such as, "A dream, a dream, I am about to dream." Do not focus on the words in a way that will prevent sleep, instead they are just a light care free back ground thing.
Just a variation, not needed, but I find it helpful.
