When I was younger I got an idea that if I would have an automatic turning off snooze alarm I could use my alarm clock to time alarms to catch my rem-periods during early morning sleep. This way I wouldn't need to move a muscle for shutting down the snooze alarm and I could concentrate totally on dream recall or some lucid dreaming technique. So I developed a LucidWeaver application for mobile phones for sound induced lucid dreaming training. Please check my website if you want to know more. With Lucidweaver you can wake up your mind but keep your body totally relaxed. This is a perfect state to launch any lucid dreaming technique. Lucidweaver is a free software. -Olli This is a great method.

I'm curious to see how this method will play out for someone who already has such high dream recall. also interesting about more stress equating to less recall. I sometimes have noticed the opposite! I wonder if different kinds of stress have varying effects. for instance, high social stress for me can increase nightmares but also more lucid dreams and sleep paralysis too.

I will be testing the "Snooze Method" tonight/tomorrow am. As of todays date I have made daily dream journal entries for 50 days running and have found only 7 days that I have had little or no recall. Some of my daily entries have a surprising amount of detail, and may describe 1 to 4 different dreams. My challenge is to determine what conditions allowed such detailed recall. One of the methods I use is multiple entries. For instance, I will write down as much detail that I can recall about a dream immediately after I wake up. Once I complete that particular notation, I then go back to sleep. This pattern may repeat 2 to 4 times in one night, but I make time each morning to transcribe the notes into my journal. About every other day I will read over the last several days of journal entries to help me with recall. Additionally, about once a week I will sit down at my lap top and type my journal entries and save them as a word document. This process allows me to go over each individual dream at least 4 times. I know this takes more time than most people have, but I truly believe that the subconscious mind realizes that I am serious and, in response, helps me with my recall. My intention with dream journaling is to achieve lucidity, and I have made progress towards that goal. Your advice to be patient and committed with intention are right on target. My entries have shown me that there is a correlation between my daily stress level and amount of recall; more stress = less recall. This makes meditation or other relaxation techniques am important part of the formula. Thanks for all the great info on your website. Ryan, Thanks for the info.
