sure it could just be something like that, but i do think it plays some kind of effect on the connection between your eyes and mind that is beneficial for dreaming. i did an open eye meditation last night after using this for a minute or 2, and after a while i fell asleep straight into a lucid for the first time. as my eyes were open, i could see why people call this remote viewing, because i was aware of my surroundings, but more aware of flying down the road in a car. this is a common dream and i dont drive much these days which helped to recognise it as a dream. i tried to drive it down to london but it felt quite tough to maintain so it lasted a couple of minutes then faded into an unconscious dream
