I havent got problems with dream recall, I seem to remember at least one dream per night, but I can get more If I go to bed more early... Tried it tonight 2 times again dont remember much of the first one, but the second one when past 37 minutes I couldnt fall asleep :S got tired and turned off the timer... Maybe thats because I dont even get out of bed when I wake up in the middle of the night. Next time Im gonna go to the bathroom and drink a glass of water... Yeah but it was a strange lucid I was normal in my dream then it was very foggy and then I started spinning then I dont remember much...

I still have a doubt... When you wake up in the middle of the night you stay awake for 20 min and then you put on the alarm and you fall asleep. Then what? You wake up in the middle of the 20 minute interval and you stay still till you are in SP? Because im in doubt if im doing anything wrong... I will try next time to put the timer more far from me.

It doesn't allow for more than 10 downloads, could you reupload it?

I tried this method during an afternoon nap, which btw, I usually never take naps, and i had my first lucid dream! It was pretty awesome, but that's a different story. Just confirming that this worked during naps if nor already confirmed. Planning on trying this tonight, and hopefully wont forget to report in the morning.

EDIT: I couldn't fall back to sleep within the first 8 minuet period, and ive had trouble doing so. I think that it is just because i get too excited when i am going to sleep. any tips?

That happened to me too in the first times. I gave up. Past 2 weeks I tried this techinque again and I can do it now dont know why. Just put the timer on and relax. If the timer beeps, reset it and try again, you should fall asleep in some tries. Also try to wake up more early and stay awake for 15-20 minutes.

So I have read about Lucid Dreaming, watched a couple videos.. I ultimately decided to try the wilding method first using a timer.. I have heard this is a very good way to get your first WILD. Well I got the timer from the lucidity website. Its free there.

What this does is beeps randomly until you turn it off.. it starts out depending on how you set it. I think I had it set to setting 4, which is like, beeps 4 minutes, 8, minutes, 4 minutes, 16 minutes, 20 minutes, 20 minutes, then every 6 minutes until you turn it off... What I read about it said you will usually get your first lucid somewhere around the 20 minute beeps, either in between the 2, or at the start of one.. Well I got up after about 5-6 hours of sleep.. Was still pretty tired.. I should have been Milding in this period, but instead i watched Hannibal lector for like an hour lol.. So... continuing on..

So i went back to bed, set the timer to setting 4.. and fell asleep.. i was woke up each time by the timer, until, i noticed a very long period before the timer went off again, assuming this was the first long period.. at the end of this long dream.. I heard the timer go off but actively decided not to wake up.. I immediately realized I was in a dream, and the guys trying to murder me at this point (lol, shouldn't have watched Hannibal lecter) dissipated after I told him I knew that I was dreaming. Then I physically woke up.. in my bed.. Now, the other things I have read about all this rang completely true.. I woke up, glanced at my hands to make sure i was actually awake.. I also realized my gf had crawled in bed with me... and could hear her breathing next to me, my own breathing still very loud in my mind.. my legs felt very numb but not fully paralyzed.. now the interesting part here now that I was wide awake was that my body was still very heavy.. so I lay perfectly still and started thinking about how heavy my legs where.. I felt them becoming very numb and heavy and feeling as though I probably couldnt even move them if I tried..I started to imagine what it would feel like to move them and slowly they started to wiggle slightly... and then I could move them even more... before I knew it I was actually moving them but also realizing that I actually wasnt.. I willed myself to the hallway and found myself walking.. so I stopped.. jumped up and down a few times... hopped from leg to leg... it felt so amazing real, and i was thinking to myself about how realistic this felt... I did fail to reality check though, so I feel that I had not gained full lucidity because i forgot.. the Alarm went off again, and startled me out of my lucid state before I could progress further.

In Summary. I used the Timer Method, gained lucidity, but forgot to reality check to gain full control, or full vividness of my surrounding ... For the most part I only watched my lower half of my body hopping on the floor lol before the alarm went off and I lost it entirely..

For a first experience on a first try.. I think this was pretty impressive.. For anyone who finds yourself in this same situation.. remember to RC to gain full vividness..

The timer is free at the saltcube website after you sign up for a free account. You can get a flash timer, application timer, and even MP3 Audio files that have the same timer patterns... This method worked well for me so far.. i would like to also see how it works for any of you...

Thanks for listening and I look forward to your input.

Lucidology 102 is payware, but 101 is free, and on youtube.

I am actually using this method of trying to get a WI LD

Yea thanks, ill wont give up for sure, but I realized something, you can actually change the time on the timer, so if i changed the first variable, 8, to something like 20 of 30, then i would be able to sleep in that amount of time. Would that work or would that screw up the science of it? Just a thought.

EDIT:: Or, you could actually change the first variable to something around 360 mins. ( 60mins x 6 hours ) and start it right after you go to bed so it wakes you up after your REM cycle and you dont even have to move to turn the alarm off. BING!!!!! problem solved.

So the best situation for this to work is to go to bed at a normal time, sleep for roughly 5 and a half hours, stay awake for about 15 minutes, then set the timed intervals alarm and go back to sleep while remembering to always do a motionless reality check everytime the beep wakes you up?

Changing the 8 minutes will screw the science because it has to be in this order 8-6-8-12-16-20-20-6-6.... The 360 minutes teory I had alredy thought about it and tried, but my psp seemed to crash during that time so I didnt really try it. But I think you have to stay awake some 15 minutes before you go to bed again, I think that's my problem too, I just wake up put on the timer and dont remember anything xD I think that the 15 minutes are to put you a little more aware so you can remember things (dreams or the beeps xD)

If you become Lucid, your already there, but if you wake up in SP, use the OBE exit method of your choice.. Let me know how it goes..

Twistor: Dont get too much sleep before trying, about 5-6 hours unless that is too much for your body to still be really tired... if thats too much, get less before waking up..

Let me know how it goes guys!

This looks like it is the best/most effective method yet . Thanks a million. I will try it tonight. Let me know if you're interested in my results with it.

Could someone re-upload the mp3? I want to try it without leaving the computer on.
