hi clearview, i havent seen any of the tutorials, i work different hours from my spouse. when my spouse goes out , because she is a noisy sleeper i find the hour after is a really good lucid hour for me. what i have found is that each dream tends to last 30 mins vertually exactly
Found a feature from my cell phone, you can make a custom alarm sound for it, so I did and I've been trying this method for about four nights/mornings by now. First my dream recall made a crash dive! I barely remembered one single dream, until I decided to sleep longer and there they were again. :)
I've tried to hit the 7h 30min REM cycle, but the best result I've got so far was autonomous reaction of my right leg. I was sleeping sideways, my right leg on top of the left one. Phone's alarm (4 sec music clip) goes off, I wake up in SP, I wait. Nothing. Until suddenly my right leg kicks out straight all by itself and I wake up comppletely and lose the SP. I do have sciatica, which might be the explanation?!?
Other times I've just woke up, haven't noticed any kind of SP, but tried to stay still. Then I've continued my sleeping, because I couldn't recall any prior dreams. There were one moment though, when I was planning to wake up early to get to the office ahead of time, I turned on the TV (from the bed), but then my lousy recall bugged me, so I decided to sleep some more. Had some dreams and kept wondering, while in dream, why I left the TV on. (As I did) :-D
Thanks for taking time to make this post.
Ok, been a while since I posted on 3-12-10. I've been seriously trying this method for over 2 months. I had really cool results the 5th and 6th day in, but have not been able to duplicate?? The 5th day I got really cool sp feelings. On the 6th day I had the same sp feelings and was able to have an OBE! I was floating in my room and kept going down and touching my wife on the cheek and floating back up. As soon as I looked at my body in bed---it was over! I have since changed to the "chronology timer" app for iphone, which works much better than the last app I was using. It costs $3 though, but is so customizable, it's worth it. I put iphone in armband and hope for good results. I am baffled as to why this hasn't worked lately, but I am not giving up. The past 3 months have been so awesome. I have had my first OBE, and my first 3 DILDS!! And one false awakening/LD! I was beginning to think I was not able to have these cool experiences. My DILD's did not have anything to do with the CANWILD, but my OBE did.
I recommend any doing this to NOT use iTunes. I set the alarm and nothing rang during the night, I checked my computer. "Itunes ran into an Error"
Will try w/ Windows Media player, overall great technique.
I love how this technique is just a DEILD, but the creator made up a bull shit acronym so he could name it CAN-wild. Just so he could say "You CAN-wild".
IN THE INSTRUCTIONS OF DEILD it clearly says one of the methods of waking up, IS BY ALARM!!!!
Thanks for your kind words. Really, if you don't have anything nice to say, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all.Quote:

Yeah. Way to make yourself look like a douche, Mike02. :clap:
way to show him, CIS!Quote:

I have an iPod nano and an iHome speaker, and I am going to set the alarm to a playlist which will have a 3 second sound clip on it. Thanks a lot for this great tutorial and I will let you know how it goes! :D
Is there a less disturbing sound I could wake up to? :P
Well it's not that bad, but I find it jarring.
Hey Medevila, I didn't like that sound either, so I went onto a sound effects website called freesound.org and found a sound effect of wind chimes:Quote:

I find this much more calming to wake up to. You could use this sound or search for other sound effects
People have likely suggested this, but I don't feel like reading 11 pages. For those with iTunes, here's a possibility. Make it so your computer does not go into sleep mode and get an MP3 that is completely silent. Make a playlist and copy&paste the silent song as many times as it takes for you to get a 6 hour to 6 hour and 20 minute playlist (this should, if started as soon as one falls asleep, wake you up right before or right during a REM cycle). At the very end, put a 4 second audio file that says, like evildoctor said, "Wake up! It's WILD time!" Make sure the playlist is not on shuffle and is not on any repeat. This should wake you up right on time. Maybe. I dunno.
I have been using a similar technique for a while now. I have found that a mp3 that plays my name at a very low volume is sufficient to wake me up. "Oothoon it's a dream your dreaming" played three time in a row. I got the idea from a video I saw where kids would not wake up to a screeching fire alarm, but their parents voice made them jump out of bed. It has been incorporated into dreams a couple of times for a DILD. Usually it wakes me up, sometime I sleep through it.
It's a bit quiet but I like it.
This is only my fourth time using this technique though (I've given up at SP every time.), so I'm going to try the original sound again.
Both of the alarm clock apps for the iPod DO loop, "Alarm Clock", and "Best Alarm", both paid for.
my bros real alarm clock stops after like 5 minutes.. :?
Get the 12,24 alarm clock for ipods. Set your alarm, and put snooze to off. Then, put auto-snooze to 5 seconds. It'll play the alarm for 5 seconds and then never again. You can also set the alarm to your ipod music.Quote:

To reply to some concerns, yes, that original sound is a bit jarring and I no longer use it. Unfortunately I cannot edit the main post any longer so I'm unable to change that default sound mentioned in the tutorial. Basically, you can use any sound you like so long as it falls within a general 3 to 10 (maximum) second range. The current sound I use is a man's voice that is low at the beginning, louder at the middle, then lower again toward the end. It gives me just the right jolt to wake my mind, but not my body.
Good luck to everyone, sorry for my absence from this thread I've been busy with personal affairs the past several months.

Yes, I have asked them on occasion in the past if I could be given the necessary permissions to continue editing the original post, and I believe they said no due to technical restrictions. I cannot recall if they said that they themselves are still able to edit the post, but I will re-contact them to add this information. As well, I wanted to add some new information regarding repetition — I find that using the alarm feature more than once (maybe about 3 or 4 times in a short, 2-hour period or so before waking up) greatly increases the likelihood that it will work at least one of the times, and still doesn't disrupt your sleep much at all.
Suggestion, instead of worrying about all these timers, I just made a new sound file by adding 7 hours and 30 minutes of silence before your alarm, make sure to turn off the sleep mode on my computer, and then play it right before I go to sleep. The speakers on my laptop don't work, s o I have to use heads, they better not fall out :disconcerted: . I'm going to try it right after this, and I'll upload the sound file if anyone's interested.
Edit: Eh, bad insomnia coupled with waking up 3 hours before the alarm goes off and seeing the earplugs had found themselves outta my ears: not much of an ideal testing morning. I'll attempt again with the sound file on my ipod and perhaps with different headphones this time.
Thanks so much for this technique. I tried it this morning, and i got the strange sensation you described, but it was light in my room and my eyes were fluttering manically. Would a darker room stop this?
Also, i question about breathing. If I manually control my breathing, will this exit me from SP?
I've been trying this method with little luck. It seems like I'm getting less results than when I first tried it. Like the previous poster, I've been using a digital watch which turns itself off after that exact minute I set it. But it seems like it's not loud enough to wake me while I'm asleep.... I was starting to think the alarm feature on the watch wasn't working but nope, it's me not waking up to the alarm simply because it's not loud enough.
