I've set my alarm to around 4:00 for a few days. The problem is, I wake up, turn it off, go back to sleep, then wake up in the morning with little to no memory of it. If I am conscious when I do it, and try to lucid, then my mind wanders so fast that I'm back into normal sleep. Help?
When U do wake up at 4:00, really get up..walk around, have something to eat..really wake up...;). Then watch Lucidipedia on Youtube or read something lucid dreaming on Dreamviews for 45min...try to watch part 4 onwards and U will have a lucid dream....:).Quote:

I have the same problem if I can reach my alarm, sometimes I'll turn it off without even realizing that I've done it and go back to sleep. Then I wake up in the morning and can't remember having turning it off. I used to think my alarm was faulty and turned itself off :P
Although... if your trying to DEILD, you can't move at all. You need to wake up without moving and just wait a bit and you'll go right back into a dream while lucid. You can't really do it with an alarm as you need to turn it off, although even if it turns itself off the sudden awakening will make you move more than likely.
The tricky part about DEILD is not moving while waking up. I can't do it yet, I keep moving unconsciously before I am aware enough to attempt to not move. I've done it twice by becoming lucid right at the end of a dream and then catching the waking moment while I'm aware, something I can't reproduce :(
you CAN DEILD after moving, its just a little harder than if you stay still. However, you should probably limit those movements to very small things. I almost always automatically open my eyes and turn over every time I wake up, however I still am able to DEILD. As long as you're quick about whatever you're doing, you should be fine. I certainly don't think you should actually get out of bed though. To be honest I wouldn't even recommend using an alarm. The noise usually startles me awake too much and snaps my concentration of the dream. Just try to remember to DEILD whenever you wake up naturally :)
Ohh, sweet. I didn't know that, thanks.Quote:

Crap, this morning would have been the best time to try. I woke up from a lucid and had moved just slightly. I could have closed my eyes and tried to DEILD straight away but didn't bother because I thought I'd blown it already.
Despite my alarm being the most horrid, loud sound ever, I barely hear it when I wake up. It's like my ears are in SP. I'll try moving my alarm away. And yes, I can go back into dreams (not lucid, because my mind wanders) after moving when I wake up. It's just the problem of my mind wandering so fast. Completely random thoughts fill my mind without control at random moments. It's like someone else's voice messing up my brain.
