I’ve had a few of these by accident. The first stage was just becoming aware of the fact that this is a dream. Second stage was choosing to stay in it instead of immediately waking up. Third stage was staying in it and taking control over it. Unfortunately I only got to that stage once or twice. Would love more of it.

How do you turn off the alarm if moving is forbidden?

1 - Saying that dream control needs practice insinuates that you begin with no control and slowly get more and more. In reality, you could have bad control one day then amazing control the next then down again after that. You could have good control from the start if you have no poisonous mental links or if you have one of the helpful qualities for good dream control like emotion control plus there are some aspects of dream control that can be practiced and improved on separately.

2 - WBTB alone isn't usually enough to actually induce a lucid dream. It IS a very useful addition that will increase your chances greatly but mostly if you use an actual induction technique along with it. Not sure what you mean by "concentrates on seamlessly blending your conscious reality with the world of your dreams". Going by modern definitions, WBTB is just the awakening and not anything else, so it doesn't have anything to do with that or with "encouraging your mind to slip into a vivid lucid dream without ever losing consciousness" (if we're talking about JUST WBTB and not anything else on top of it). It is fine to have WBTBs shorter than 3 minutes, depending on your goal. If you're going to do DEILD it has to be very short. If you struggle to fall back asleep after a long time awake then it's okay to have a short WBTB in which you achieve your goal of recall or doing whatever technique you wanted to do or whatelse. Moving from your original sleeping position is fine too. Your body is not some character who "mistakenly believes" that you're asleep just because you're not moving. What not moving does is maybe makes it easier to fall back asleep in some cases and makes it easier to recall what you were just dreaming about if you were to wake up from a dream at that time. If you're in an uncomfortable position then it's totally fine to move into a more comfortable one, or if you're doing a longer WBTB then you obviously can get up and do stuff before coming back.

3 - The "mnemonic technique" mentioned didn't seem to include any mnemonics. Just sounds like an attempt at dream incubation. Also sounds like traditional MILD but only part of the first step.

4 - Excitement itself doesn't wake you up. Associating excitement with waking up is what makes you wake up. If you couldn't get excited then it would not be very worth it. People have also gotten very very excited in dreams without waking up.

It's misleading to say you won't have to practice over the years.
Lucid dreaming is a skill, just like playing a guitar. It takes most people a few weeks to months before they experience their first one. Even if you do get lucky and experience one on your first night or around that time it still takes time to actually harness the ability.
Lucid dreaming isn't simple as just performing a technique and then boom lucidity. Techniques can definitely help but they don't build the mindset necessary to make it a regular occurrence

WBTB works for me every single time but it happens accidentally i didn't even know it was a technique!

[drgqtby]

Has anyone tried what the video says? I want to know how effective it is before actually trying it out.

[dalesco]

Could counting the seconds for three or more minutes do it when you wake up after the alarm goes off?

I'm afraid you have a slight misunderstanding about how this works. If somebody has to go to the bathroom and then they don't, that's pretty much a guarantee that they are not going to fall back asleep until they do. I would most certainly call that bad advice. In reality you don't just want to wake up for 3 minutes. You actually want to get up and do something, because that's what makes your brain more consciously active and aware. Reading is supposed to be a very good activity for engaging all the right parts of your brain, and writing might be even better. One of the best things you can do is wake up and maybe not make a full account of your last dream that you remember after waking up, but at least take notes on it. This kills two birds with one stone, as it makes your brain become more conscious, and it prevents you from forgetting that dream that might slip away if you just went back to sleep. Moreover, it will increase your dream recall, without which it's useless to have a lucid dream, because you could just forget it.

Someone how my dreams are more stable than before

Can you lucid dream in just 3 minutes? Unfortunately the answer is no because the art of lucid dreaming entails mastering the balance between consciousness and the subconscious world a journey that requires practice patience and understanding of the mind's intricacies.

To lucid dream it takes time and practice to gauge how deeply attuned and receptive your mind is to the nuances of lucid dreaming influenced by different factors such as sleep patterns mental clarity and personal experiences.
