Thread: I've got an idea for an improvement to the kvasar dreammask

Keep going with your ideas.

Take a look here to check out the homemade LD dreammask. Schematics included. http://brindefalk.solarbotics.net/kvasar/kvasar.html

Now what I am thinking of is to add a piezo electric transducer to the same circuit that the leds are on, so this way when you start to dream you are getting the same shock that causes you to perform your reality checks.

Any takers on this one (I suck at electronics)

I do too, and it is two years later, but I'll do it!

Interresting idea. However to what part of the body do you think the electric shock should be given? Also might the electric shock be able to wake you up if it is strong enough to be clearly felt?

I think it should just be strong enough to tell you that you need to check, but not strong enough to hurt or tingle or anything like that. And I think that he meant for the shock to be on the kvasar itself... But it might be a better idea to use the watch for that...

Keith Hearne was using electric shocks as a cue to stimulate LD's back in the 80's. Google his name and you'll find the info.
